Size of Baby: According to What to Expect, the babies are each going to be the size of lemons (3 inches long) and 1.5 ounces each this week!
Picture of Baby: No new pics until our next ultrasound on 6/21.
Maternity Clothes: Going to have to invest in more because none of my pants fit anymore at all and few shirts still look ok.
Weight Gain: Hopefully its still about a pound and a half.
Belly: Getting bigger by the day it seems. Truthfully, I'm kind of having a little bit of a hard time with it. Don't get me wrong, I'm ecstatic to be pregnant but the last few days I have just felt fat. Maybe switching to all maternity clothes will make me feel better. Trying to squeeze into my old clothes is just plain depressing right bnow.
Stretch Marks: No new ones and Jared's aunt got me this amazing lotion that I've been applying every morning. It's supposed to help with the elasticity of your skin. I sure hope it works!
Sleep: Getting better. Don't want to jinx it but I've only gotten up one time each of the last two nights to pee. HUGE improvement over the 4-5 times I was getting up before!
Best Moment of the Week: Did I mention I've only woken up to pee once during the last two nights? Its been amazing! Oh and officially being in the 2nd trimester.
Movement: I know they are moving around in there but still can't feel it yet.
Symptoms: Nothing really stands out this week. Maybe its due the whole 2nd trimester thing. I've been very lucky so far throughout this pregnancy.
Food Cravings: Fruit is still one of my favorite things.
Gender: Still thinking one of each.
What I Miss: Having a lot more options for my wardrobe. Sorry coworkers but you are going to see a lot of repetition in my clothing.
What I'm Looking Forward to: My doctors appointment and sonogram on the 21st.
Weekly Wisdom: Still not feeling wise.
Milestones: Making it to the 2nd trimester!!
Emotions: Very grateful to be pregnant.
And here is my 13 week belly photo:
Girl, break out those maternity pants, they are a god-send! They're so comfortable and take alot of pressure off!
ReplyDeleteJust responding to your question... :) The bra I have is brand "Simple Wishes". It's the brand that the hospital lactation consultants sold- so I know there are others out there, but the one I have works amazingly. When I had my boys 2 years ago I thought there was no way it would work, so I never got one for them and now I totally regret it! :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your twins and hoping for a HEALTHY, SAFE pregnancy!
Congrats on the second trimester!!!!
