The First 13 weeks in a Nutshell

 Here are some pictures of life over the past 9 weeks, starting with the day we found out we were pregnant.

Although I was in shock, I only took 1 test that day.

7 weeks
9 weeks - Looks like I'm scared in this picture, but it's the only one I have.

12 weeks 1 day


A few things I want to remember:
  •  As of today, I am 13 weeks 1 day.
  • I haven't thrown up, but I do get nauseous if I go to long without eating.
  • I don't like vegetables anymore
  • I have an aversion to dinner in general some nights no matter what we are eating.
  • Although it looks like I've gained a little weight, I have actually lost a few pounds (probably from my inability to eat dinner most nights)
  • I had an U/S last Saturday at 12 weeks 2 days and that is when it finally sank in for me that this is real.  As someone who has struggled to get pregnant and had a miscarriage, I was constantly worried that something had happened to the baby and my body just hadn't told me something was wrong.
  • I continued to attend CrossFit classes until I was just over 11 weeks.  I now do it some in our garage, but nothing is timed and I work at my own pace and only do what I think I can handle.
  • I am tired a lot.  It used to take me forever to fall asleep at night, but now it takes no time at all.
  • I am still wearing normal clothes and b/c I'm cheap and have no clue how to shop for maternity clothes, I am going to make the clothes I have work for as long as possible.

Happy Friday!!  We are off to Fayetteville to watch the HOGS play.  Hopefully this weekend will be better than their game last weekend.

Whohoo!! It's always fun to see the picture progression.

I barely wore maternity clothes. A few shirts in the end for sure (regular shirts just aren't long or big enough), but a lot of clothes you can manage without buying maternity. :)
