13 weeks!!!

YAY!!!!

How your baby's growing: Your belly may soon be big enough to announce to the world that you're expecting, but your baby is still tiny. In fact, he's only about 3 inches long crown to rump — roughly the size of a jumbo shrimp — and weighs just about an ounce. Despite the small proportions, there's a fully formed baby inside your womb now. Much more proportional than it was a few weeks ago, his head is now only about a third the size of his body. His tiny, unique fingerprints are already in place. His kidneys and urinary tract are functional, and he's starting to urinate out the amniotic fluid he's been swallowing. As you start your second trimester, most of your baby's critical development will be completed, and your odds of miscarriage will drop considerably.

I'm totally hoping that the 13 week mark will soon make the tiredness go away....i'm still tired LOL

I've also been plagued with a couple really bad migraines that Tylenol (xtra strength of course) is not doing a THING to ease...... Called the doctor yesterday and he ended up calling in a prescription for a migraine medication that's safe during pregnancy. Of course, I can't take it when i'm driving or at work .. so basically I have to be home so I can take it and sleep.. but some relief is better than none!!

I'm still feeling pretty lucky that all I have to "complain" about is a headache or two....

my stomach is starting to pooch out a little (or a little more than it USUALLY does ROFL) so that's pretty exciting (as exciting as gaining weight can be LOL)

I realized last night that i only have 1 more appointment until we find out what we're having. . .I go on July 31 and then the appointment after that should be the magic one :) :) any guesses????? :) :)
