Bumpdate Week 13!!!

How far along?  
13 weeks today!!
I wore this outfit out yesterday, thinking I didn't look too noticeably preggars...
 
OOTD:
Top: Express 
Skirt: Kohl's maternity
Tank: F21
Earrings: F21 
However, one of the ladies at the nail salon I frequent for pedicures,
came right up and put her hand on my tummy
and said, "How far? Boy or girl?"
Granted, I haven't gotten my toes done there in awhile.
And then I picked up the dry cleaning later in the day and the girl asked me,
"Are you pregnant?"
So, I suppose the beans have really spilled and my belly's really growing!
:::Random:::
My friend K and I went to Bare Escentuals and got our makeup did'. 
{The above shots I am sans makeup}
This is my after shot:
And I may or may not have bought 
The Happy Place.
Damn makeup boutique and excellent salesgirls!
Maternity clothes? 
Yes.
I didn't want to stretch out my clothes, so I am already in shorts & tops. 
I can get away with mixing flowy non-maternity tops with maternity bottoms and 
flowy non-maternity bottoms with maternity tops...
Luckily I have tons of comfy dresses that fit well and a little looser, so I wear those too.
I can't really get into the whole bella band thing anymore.
Sleep: 
Just started waking up more than once and then unable to fall back to sleep.
 It may be time for the body pillow investment.

 Best moment this week:  
Receiving our strip of photos in the mail {I think the Dr forgot to give it to us last week}
so it was a nice surprise. I hung them on the fridge, texted hubs:
"We made this!!"
Miss anything? 
I am not going to lie, I do miss a refreshing glass of Pinot Grigio once in awhile.
And salmon sushi, with a squeeze of lemon over rice....
mouth.is.watering.
But when I do, I rub my belly and smile because something much cooler than wine & sushi is happening.
Movement:  
Possibly? I'm not quite sure if it's the baby or just the 'round ligament pain'.
It's like a poking sensation?
I'm not sure when I'll feel kicking...
Food cravings: 
 Fruit!!
Cheese fries, sweets {donuts, candy bars, ice cream...} 
and Slur-pees--I can't find any around here though?!
Anything making you queasy:  
Not so much any more, but thoughts of certain foods still make my stomach lurch a tad.
{Bacon? Hot sauce? Coffee? Usually love these}
Symptoms: 
Hungry--like, if I don't eat right away then I get crazy. I'm breaking out especially on my chest, which I've never experienced like this before, and I still get tired and hot really easily.
Belly button in or out? 
In
Wedding rings on or off? 
On..I don't ever want them off!?
Mood: 
 Calm and happy.
I could listen to baby's heartbeat all the time {hubs videoed it}
and stare at his/her pictures all day.

Looking forward to: 
Feeling baby kick!
Weight Gain:
Yes, I have gained about 10 pounds already...
not sure how I'm going to stay in the, "gain 25 lbs total" category.
Stretch marks? 
 No, and I'm slathering on belly butter, oil, {Burt's Bees} and Cocoa butter like it's my job!! 
Gifts for baby:
My mother suggested I start some crafts for baby...
So my friend Alison & I hit up Hobby Lobby last week.
Don't laugh, as I may be great in kitchen, I'm not so crafty.
So, I made one of these bake in the oven goodies!
Bunny Sun Catcher
[I have more crafts I'll post about when I do them!]
Gift from Nana & Papa 
{Step-mom & Dad}
They bought this in the Bahamas when we were on the cruise!
 My friend Kristin added to Baby Bean's book collection!
How frickin precious.
{She's a Kindergarten teacher, so Aunt Kristin will hook us up on all the good children's lit!}
  I am loving the growing belly and the second trimester is soooooo much better than the first.
TGIF loves!!!

  4. you look great! gaining only 25lbs in a pregnancy is for the birds. I don't know how women do that! with each of my pregnancies I gained 49 and 31 lbs. Whatever you need to grow that sweet baby- your body knows! Fresh fruit sounds divine- I couldn't get enough and STILL can't! Yum! So excited to follow along with you on this exciting adventure!!

  5. You are going to be a great mother. If you are that excited and you sound perfectly fine with ten pounds do far then you are gonna love being pregnant. I gained 10 the first 3 months and then it went from there. Ithe one food that I love so my h but literally made me gag at sight was spaghetti. Bizarre but the mound of meat sauce made me dry heeve. But now no problem.

  6. I had bad round ligament pain until 18ish weeks, then I would get it once a week or so when standing from a sitting or curled position. I was SURE of movement around 18 weeks too. I'd feel him every few days. Especially when I laid on my side, I could feel his flutters really well. Now, at 30 weeks, he moves...like karate kid! lol

  9. You sound so happy, and I'm so happy for you! I'm a crafter, and I make a lot of scrapbooks. I find it super relaxing. I use to love "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." What were your favorite books as a child?
