Life As The Wards: Pregnancy up(bump)date! {13 weeks}

Holy cow, I can't believe I am already 13 weeks along and already in my second trimester! I wanted to post a quick update on me and the baby with my first bumpdate picture (eeeek)!

Update on Momma

How far along: 13 weeks

Gender: Still don't know yet, but I have scheduled an appointment to find out on Black Friday! Of course we won't know the day of but our gender reveal party is going to be December 6th!

Weight gain: Only about 5 pounds.

Maternity clothes: Rocking the maternity jeans. None of my other jeans fit.

Stretch marks: Oh yeah. On both my butt cheeks. Sorry for the TMI, but they're bad. They literally came out of nowhere.

Belly button in or out: IN!!!

Sleep: Really good. The bed is my best friend right now.

Best moment this week: Dakota and I bought a Doppler and we listened to the HB earlier today. We found it right away and it always brings a smile to my face and tears to my eyes. Also, hearing the baby kick is pretty awesome. I can't wait to start feeling it.

Worst moment this week: These horrible headaches. Like seriously, I can't even think straight.

Miss anything: SODA. I miss drinking Dr.Pepper.

Movement: Nothing that I can feel, but oh we can hear it!

Cravings: Recently my cravings have been Mexican, Steak N Shake, & Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit from Whataburger.

Queasy or sick: Still feeling pretty good. Thanking the good lord I haven't thrown up one time since being pregnant. A little tidbit about me is one of my fears is throwing up. I hate it so much that I cry and freak myself out if I have to throw up. I'm so scared of it. So I am seriously so thankful I didn't have morning sickness.

Looking forward to: Our next appointment which is on the 18th! It's my 15 week checkup!
