Above: Week 5 my tummy's baseline
Week 8: Baby or first trimester bloat?
Week 13: Definitely the beginning of a baby bump.
So yesterday began week 13, the last week of of the first trimester. I can't wait to see what it brings, since so far, every week has brought on some pretty uncomfortable pregnancy symptoms. Is it bad that I read the second trimester symptoms and think...heart burn, gas and back pain sound pretty awesome compared to "morning sickness," headaches and gut wrenching constipation? Still, we continue on, me and this baby, learning what does and does not work day to day. I can say I'm generally less sick in the mornings now, but still pretty miserable by 4 pm. At least I'm getting a little break from nausea and vomiting...
This week, we've been on a ground beef, apple, banana, and candy binge. Milk, OJ, grilled chicken and spinach have been acceptable along with pizza of any form, green beans and homemade smoothies. Fried chicken, popcorn and lemon Italian ice are loosing their appeal, sadly. Bubble water continues to be a day to day puzzle whether it will help or make things worse. Aside from the candy, I would say on a whole, we're eating a little more healthy.
Things I've tried this week that I have found to be amazing: Tropicana OJ, everything bagels, tootsie rolls, peanut m & m's, homemade sloppy joe's, Dots and hot cocoa made with milk...aside from the sloppy joes, none of these things were pre-pregnancy favorites.

We are super excited to see the baby in 2 days, as we are hoping to hear a healthy little heart beat and see a more baby-like image on the screen :)
