13 weeks!

This week I'm at 13 weeks of my pregnancy and into my second trimester - YAY! I've been told from many people that I'll start to feel more like myself now which is GOOD because every morning lately, I get out of bed, feed the dogs and then lay back down on the couch for 15 minutes cause I'm so tired :) I would love for that to go away in the next few weeks, however I've also been told that I'll be tired for the next 18 years!!

For a few interesting 13 week facts, the baby is roughly the size of a peach this week....probably around 3 inches. The intestines are moving into the abdomen, and the vocal chords are developing. They say that the baby's sexual organs have already developed - if it's a girl, her eggs (the amount she'll have for her whole life) are already developed as well - isn't that AMAZING!! However, we won't be able to identify the sex for at least another 3 weeks, probably longer even.

Our next Doctor's appointment is Saturday Nov. 1 which I think is an appointment for a lot of blood tests and I'm sure an ultrasound. Get to see the little peach again :)

Hopefully I'll get Lee to take a pic of me this week, even though you can't see anything yet!
