| 13 weeks with Emi |
This time I decided to take pics in the morning so I don't look like I've been through a marathon like I do at the end of the day!
How far along? 13 weeks! Yay 2nd trimester!
Size of baby? The bump app says the size of a peach!
Heartbeat? At the 12 week it was 175 which confirmed my belief that I was carrying a girl.
Total weight gain/loss? +2, but since I was down 2 last week I guess I gained 4! Yikes! I guess that's what happens when you stop puking or being so sick at night!
Maternity clothes? I was hoping to hold out until 15 weeks, but I'm not sure I'm going to make it. I've been internet shopping for some dresses because I just hate the idea of those stupid bands and even the high rise stretchy stuff built into pants. I just want to wear dresses and boots all fall, but maternity dresses are hard to come by! I can't find any that aren't Kim Kardashian tight and I can't wear that even when I'm not pregnant!!
Stretch marks? Just the ones left over from Emi on my hip. Lots of veins popping up again though.
Sleep? I have stopped waking up so much now. Now it's just 2-3 times per night. I'm trying not to drink many liquids past 7:30 though.
Best moment this week? Finding out the gender. The nurse called Wednesday to give us the results of our Harmony test. Everything came back normal so that was a relief!!
Movement? Not yet. Things feel like they're moving, but I don't think that's baby. I think that's just my body saying it doesn't like the changes!
Food cravings? Not really cravings. I like yogurt again and I wasn't really a fan for a while so I guess maybe that counts. Been eating a lot of fruit, but I think that's because I'm trying not to snack so much. I'm hungry ALL the time though!!

Gender predictions? Harmony test said BOY!! I was completely surprised because I was certain this was a girl. I had Anthony convinced he was a girl factory! He texted people that it turns out he's not a girl factory after all! haha!
What I miss: Not being so tired. I wish I could enjoy the afternoons and go outside, but I just count down minutes until bed time! It doesn't help that Emi isn't napping at school and it beyond cranky at home after school!
What I'm looking forward to: Really I'm just looking forward to enjoying the fall with Emi before there's another person to take the attention. I can't wait to take her to Baylor games and fall festivals and Thanksgiving. I want to spend as much time with Bella and Emi before another baby takes over. I'm super excited about the baby, but I know it'll change the dynamic that we have and it makes me a little sad.
Of course I'm excited about finding boy stuff to add to our house too. I already have ideas for a nursery and colors and clothes. Those things are always exciting.

How are you feeling? Not as nauseous thankfully. Still taking my anti-nausea meds though because whenever I don't I feel awful the entire day. Very happy and relieved that all of our tests and appointments have come back positive because it's been a little bit of a roller coaster with this pregnancy. I didn't experience any complications with Emi, and after losing one last Spring, I've been worried with all the excitement!
