Week 13 - The End (Of Nausea) Is Near

Week 13!

This week should be near the end of the queasy phase. Things have been going pretty well.  Uneventful for the most part.  But I am hungrier and that is a good sign!

According to What to Expect, Shrimp is growing fast, the size of a peach (or this #13 billiard ball) and the head is half of the body size! And baby's vocal chords are developing. Wonder if Shrimp will be a talker...

I am starting to "thicken" if you look closely.  By that I mean no hips and it looks like I ate a whole bowl of spaghetti by myself.  Maybe in the next month there will be something to show for  in a photo!

We are trying to decide what to do in our house next, as far as getting ready for baby.  There is still a lot of work to do.  The kitchen counters need to be re-grouted (germs!) and the nursery needs to be emptied and painted.  

We are also pondering how to decorate the nursery.  We are leaning towards a more neutral decor (gender neutral that is).   Like green or yellow walls, or a forest scene with Winnie-the-Pooh stuff.  But we still might wait until we find the gender and go "all in" for a boy or girl room.

Most recent favorite food:  Spinach (who knew?)

Most recent craving: Jalapeno burger

Still can't eat: Fruit - makes me feel HORRIBLE (but then again, I never really liked fruit anyway -- too sugary for my taste!)

Strange behavior: Forgetfulness and feelings of dread ("Are we ready for this life changing event?")  My friends say that is normal and they felt it too.  Better to be realistic than naive I guess.

  1. mmmmm, jalapeno burger.

    What about that number 12 ball next to it? Also the same size?
    But probably not the same as the cue ball on a bar table since those a little smaller so they go to the other return slot.

  2. I think #13 is a bit bigger than #12. But everyone's different so who knows! The peach was taken at any rate! :) However, this billiard ball is still a little green.
