March 1, 2011 - Week 13

Overall, I am feeling great! I have energy and most of the time I feel good. I still feel sick on occasions, but not often, and heartburn still appears from time to time. I do get tired in the evenings so I usually go to bed around 9 pm now (which is basically normal since I wake up so early). I hope I continue to feel great for the rest of my pregnancy; my little issues/sickness is not often, so not bad at all. I now have maternity clothes so I am ready. I went through my closet and pulled out other pants and tops that still fit and should fit for a while so I can mix those in with the maternity stuff. The maternity clothes are so much more comfortable at this stage so I am pretty sure I will start wearing them completely by the next week or so. I am tired of wearing tight clothing that barely fits—it just isn’t comfortable around the waist line!! I just have to realize I’m getting bigger and bigger!

Our baby is about the size of a peach and weighs approximately .81 oz. Up until this point, our baby’s head has been proportionally larger than the rest of his/her body. But now the body will start to catch up and grow more proportional to the head. Also developing this week is baby’s vocal chords. Of course we won’t be able to hear any sound since he/she won’t have an air supply to enable him/her to make sounds until after delivery. We will be getting lots of sounds (crying) before we know it though!!

I have started looking a little for a crib, dresser, and rocker. No purchases have been made yet but I am getting an idea of what my options are at each store. Who knew that JCPenny’s has a great selection of cribs/dressers with good reviews!!

Ready for Week 13 belly pictures? Here you go…I feel so much bigger than before, what do you think?
