13 Weeks! Bumpdate :)

And I'm out of the first trimester! I can feel my morning sickness going away, and I am feeling overall SO much happier! I think I'm at the point where I'm like "alright alright, I GUESS I'll have another one." Yes, there was a dark moment when I considered making the decision to make my child an only child haha, but it was short lived! Pictures aren't available yet for this weeks bump tracking, I will add them later! :)

Bumpdate 13 Weeks:

Baby is the size of? A peach! Or according to another app, a jalepeƱo pepper. Peach sounds cuter though ;) 

Maternity clothes? No, but I'll be needing bigger scrubs soon. Can barely fit it over my chest. Awkward. 

Stretch marks? Still no, I'm lucky, but I'm sure in the coming weeks as I grow they will appear. 

Sleep? Last night was the worst night I've sleep I've ever had. I woke up every 15 minutes like clockwork. I do think it's due to me taking a little more of my B6 vitamin than im used to though- lesson learned! 

Best moment this week? Heard our sweet baby's heartbeat! Bryce is bitter. I went in because I was having severe stomach pains because of a blockage in my ascending colon, and while I was in he checked to make sure baby is doing well. It was scary at first because it took awhile to find the heart beat but he just said the baby is still way low, totally normal to take a little to find the heartbeat because the location of a baby so tiny is variable. It was so reassuring though :) 

Miss anything? Energy. I feel like I'm always drained. It's best if I go for a walk early in the day, I have much more energy that way :) 

Movement? Not yet! Now that I'm in the third trimester I'm hoping that in a month or so I start feeling the little pumpkin! 

Food cravings? Still banana peppers. And when we were at lunch today, I actually ate some of my dill pickle. I HATE pickles, but apparently pregnant Carlie doesn't care. Nothing weird yet though, no ice cream and anchovies ;) 

Nausea? Yes, but it is definitely getting better. If I don't sleep enough though I totally have a sour stomach!

Started showing yet? It's starting to come in! My scrubs were so form fitting today and you could totally see a little bump. My assistant (and my saving grace) was checking it out and I wasn't even the one who told her... Apparently asking someone to turn off the nitrous in a room you're going in to and the reason for it spreads extremely quickly haha. 

Labor signs? No, thank goodness! Some aching here and there and I'm definitely feeling those ligament pains. If I sneeze, my ligaments want me to know that they are aware I made a sudden movement and that it was NOT permitted. 

Belly button in or out? Innie still :)  

Happy or moody? Pretty dang happy, just waves of moodiness. I'll randomly get angry at such a small thing (my phone volume going on full blast with my headphones on) and turn into the hulk for 1 minute. Like I wanted to throw my phone on the pavement. Anger. Management. 

Looking forward to? Feeling my little munchkin moving around! I cannot wait :)

  1. You're so cute Carlie!! So excited that you're finally starting to get a lil bump! I'm sure people have shared all their experiences with you, but one of the weirdest things that happened to me was the stretch marks didn't show up until AFTER he was born! I thought I was golden going into the hospital without any stretch marks, but those pesky things got me once the skin bounced back after labor. Weird huh? HA just sharing so you know it happens!

    1. Jaye I just saw this! That is so good to know. I never noticed I had ANY from like growing up or anything until I looked right on my thigh and saw tiny white scars, so I wonder if I will be the same as you and just not see them until after! Thanks for the heads up!!
