Bumpdate: Week 13




How far along? 13.5 weeks 
Total weight gain: 6 lbs
Maternity clothes? I am now wearing pretty much all things maternity. Yoga pants are even starting to feel uncomfortable. My wonderful parents bought me two pairs of maternity jeans for my birthday which are rediculously comfortable. Never thought I would ever say that I prefer maternity jeans to regular jeans, but I am proudly saying that today. I love those jeans. Maternity tops are also starting to look cute instead of unfitting. Which is nice. My bump is officially a bump. Nothing huge or impressive, but people can straight up tell that I am pregnant not chubby haha. its actually kind of nice. 
Sleep: I have slept rediculously well this week. I sleep on average 6 hours before I get up to pee, and honestly I think that the waking up at 6:45 every single morning could also have something to do with the fact that Nic is working now. I am always paranoid that he will not wake up on time and by that time the light is coming in the windows so I always check my phone and by the time the actual time registers in my mind, I realize I have to pee haha. So I think thats whats going on there. 
New this week: Im not sick anymore!!! I get some nausea at random times, or if I eat too much, but I am hoping and praying that the full days of laying perfectly still feeling like complete and total crap are over. 
Best moment this week: Getting my diaper bag! I have had my eye on the Make a Change Baby Bag by Vera Bradley since the very first time that Nic and i had a pregnancy scare in December and I started looking at stuff to try and be excited haha and I have dragged Nic into the Vera store at the South Hills Mall every time we have been there since we have moved here to look at that bag. So last night after we went out to dinner for my Birthday, my parents and Nic and I all went to the mall for me to return something and to spend my birthday money from my Aunt and Uncle and my brother. We ended up in the Vera store and they just happened to have my bag in the exact pattern I was looking for. I picked a pattern that is very pastel and just looks like a baby bag. Its perfect. So I was completely prepared to pay full price but I went up the register and the pattern that I chose was one of the patterns that they were retiring which got me a 30% discount and I mentioned it was birthday which got me another 30% off. I ended up getting that bag for the same price as the cheap bags at Babies "R" us. It made my day.
Miss Anything? Being able to wear normal clothes. I never realized how much I enjoyed looking cute haha. But Ill be back to normal cute looking clothes soon enough. 
Food cravings: Still changes daily. Ice cream is consistent haha. But Im starting to get my appetite back which is awesome. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still smells. And the smells that bug me change every day. Last night we discovered that I can't handle the smell of the new lotion we just bought me to help avoid stretch marks. Awesome. I know. 
Wedding rings on or off? On! 
Looking forward to: Still our 14 week appointment. We should get a sonogram this time, and we will get to hear the heartbeat and see our little Merv. We are so excited about that!! 

And thats the bumpdate!
