Playing Catch Up!


Sorry about not posting this on time! I spent the weekend in jacksonville busy with family and a baby shower for a friend! The weekend was wonderful! I ate a ton and kept it all down!! It was a beautiful thing:) I woke up monday morning to leave and had a pretty sore throat, so I was a little worried since I spent sunday with Thomas' step-mother who had Strep throat! Well, my battery was dead in the Durango and everytime my dad hooked it up to the charger my security system started going off, at 5:30 in the morning!! he finally figured out that we could disconnect the horn and wa la... it was quiet and charging!! (Such a smart man!!) Well, that was the end of my beautiful weekend! I threw up that morning just a few minutes before I left:( I munched on some crackers and a muffin on the 2 and a half hour drive home and felt fine when my dad called to check in on me a few minutes from my house! But not even 15 minutes later I was throwing up again:( I laid down to take a nap and woke up 2 hours later throwing up. I ate some trail mix while i put some tater tots in the oven and by the time the tots were done, the trail mix came back up. I was miserable. It was the worse (worst?) I have felt so far. I, stupidly, thought I was done and that the tots were staying down... Thomas called around 10 that night and a few minutes later I had him on speaker phone listening to those lovely tots coming back up!! I figured, since his timing was so great and he wasn't here to hold my hair, the least he could do was be grossed out by it on the other side of the world!! I called out of work the next day since i planned on going to the ER since I wasn't able to keep anything down and threw up with in the first half hour I was awake. But the rest of the day I was fine... I went to get a sub from subway and started getting sick on the way there, but was too scared of throwing up while I was driving so i "jedi mind power-ed" it to stay down:) And the rest of the week has been fine! I haven't worked, she gave me the week off to rest, so I've just been bumming around the house with my horribly energetic dogs! I don't have a belly picture for 12 weeks but I can post the fun facts about the baby!!

THE 13th WEEK OF PREGNANCY:

*Your infant is about 2.91 inches (7.4cm) and weighs around 0.81 ounce (23gm) - This is about the same weight as 4 quarters.
*If you could peek in again you may spot your baby as he begins to practice inhaling and exhaling movements
*Eyes and ears continue to move and develop
*Baby's neck is getting longer, and the chin no longer is resting on his chest
*His hands are becoming more functional - Your baby may find it comforting to start playing with his fist.
*At this point all nourishment is received from the placenta
