How big are the babies? Now the size of your clenched fist, your baby is more fluid-like in his movements, so he’s no longer doing the jerk every time he repositions his arms and legs. Other developments this week include a roof of his own (inside his mouth, that is) as well as intestinal activity: His intestines are producing meconium (which is the waste that will make up his first bowel movement after birth). He is also sporting a downy coating of hair (lanugo) that keeps him nice and warm. Not to worry — you won't give birth to a monkey; baby fat will accumulate over the next few months and take over the function of keeping your baby warm and toasty —allowing most of that hair to shed.
Weight gain/loss: I have actually lost 7 lbs since the beginning of the pregnancy. The doctor apparently is not worries so I am just hoping that the morning sickness eases off more and I can eat a little more.
Maternity clothes: Yup :) All maternity clothes. My shirts are okay because I like wearing lose empire wasted tops anyways.
Stretch marks: Nope. Bio oil every single day!
Best moment of the week: When our best friends announced to the rest of the world that they are expecting a week later than us!! :)
Movement: Yes. My arsehole doctor tells me that I am "not feeling the babies yet" but I know I am. They tickle and flutter in my tummy on either side. I know it is them. I can put the doppler where I feel them and get a heartbeat right away! So boo on her and her negativity! Has SHE ever carried two babies? Unlikely. So there.
Symptoms: Well. I throw up every day and the nausea and reflux is pretty much unbearable after supper. I always say that 3:30pm is my "peak puke time" haha Other than that, my belly is getting bigger and my heart is full :)
Gender: Not sure! I am thinking boys!
Anything making you sick or queasy? Seems like everything makes me sick or queazy.
Labor signs: Nope.
Wedding rings on/off: On
Mood: Great mood :) Loving my baby bump and LOVING the fact that my friends and family know about our miracles.
Looking forward to: May 17th :) Our Anatomy scan! Hotdogs or hamburgers? Or one of each?
Sleep: I am still a sleep machine. Bedtime is usually no later than 9:30/10:00pm
Here are the last few weeks' belly pics:
Seems like I am bigger at 13 weeks! I may have had a fully belly :) xoxo Babies are growing!!
