13 Weeks

Thirteen weeks already - wahoo!!  Our little poppy seed is now the size of a peach!  It's so crazy to watch and feel the little bump getting bigger and bigger. 

I started a new job today.  I was working at a fertility practice in Raleigh and now I'm working at a different fertility practice...also in Raleigh.  They just moved out of the hospital setting into a posh new clinic.  Pros = everything is new, commute chopped in half, better salary (ok, way better salary), and some pretty killer benefits.  Cons = new practice (getting organized, certified, settled), learning how they do it, and learning the new systems/computer systems.  I think, after a few months, and after working out the kinks, it'll be a good move.  At least I'll be able to pay the mortgage and the daycare bill in the same month!

How far along:  13 weeks

Total weight gain: +0.8

Maternity clothes: I finally did it.  I got some maternity jeans.  Thank you Pea in the Pod after Christmas clearance.  AND THEY'RE AWESOME!!

Symptoms: Feelin' good, working on growing that bump

Stretch marks: None yet

Sleep:  Last night, with my feisty heartburn, sleep was rough.

Best moment of this week:  Getting some good news on test results :)  

What's new this week:  If it's a baby girl, she's got more than 2 million eggs just hanging out!  Hang on to those eggs little one - let's hope you don't get your mama's crappy ovaries.  It's body is catching up to it's head - head is only 1/3 of the size of it's body now - not 1/2.  And it had fingerprints!!

Miss anything: I wished for a full glass of fully loaded champagne to toast the New Year...but sparkling grape juice was equally awesome.  Thanks to my extra special New Years party hostess Megan!

Movement: I'm hoping I can feel the baby in the next 3 weeks but I'm not holding my breath.

Food cravings:  Still loving the dairy

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Nope

Have you started to show yet:  Actually yes!

Belly button in or out:  In

Wedding rings on or off:  On

Looking forward to:  Getting settled at the new job and adjusting to Jess going back to work
