Today I am 13 weeks! The baby is the size of peach, and is nearly 3 inches long from head to rump. This is the last week of the first trimester. Thank goodness! Almost a third of the way there!
I just got back from Florida yesterday, and Andrew is coming home from Canada tomorrow. This weekend I hope we can start actually getting stuff done for the baby. We haven't done ANYTHING yet! I have started looking at cribs and car seats online but it's so overwhelming! There are so many choices! Any mamas out there that have suggestions or recommendations, please don't hesitate to share your thoughts!
As far as cribs go, I don't like cribs that look like a jail cell with very thin bars all the way around. I like the cribs that have a head board that can be converted into a bed once the baby grows. And car seats, who knows? There's ones that can "grow" as the baby grows, and theres ones that can be connected to a stroller. I like the idea of both of those! And good brands? Who know's! There are SO many!! I know we still have time to do research before the baby comes, but I like to be prepared as possible! And unfortunately, I am not going to know if I made the best choice until the baby is here and I have used it for awhile.
This weekend we are also planning on taking our pregnancy announcement picture. Not sure when we are going to post it just yet, but probably in another week once, I am officially in the 2nd trimester.
I just saw this commercial for this new Special K Cinnamon Toast protein cereal. I really want to go out and buy it now! Pregnancy craving I guess? It's funny, there are things that I want to eat that sound really great, and then there are things that are totally repulsive to me that I can't imagine eating! And some of the "repulsive foods" are ones that I used to really like before I got pregnant. I guess it's just as well, being turned off by certain foods will hopefully help me from blowing up like a blimp during this pregnancy. My mom gained 60 pounds with each pregnancy. Ahh!! That is so terrifying for me! My doctor recommends gaining between 25-35 pounds, but even that is scary. Hopefully I can stay closer to a 25 pound gain.
I have to go take my 13 week bumpie. I will post it later today :)
