13 Weeks!

Not too much to report since the last post really since I did it so late. lol

Still waiting to hear about the ultrasound appointment, I'm thinking I should have by now since my midwife called last Thursday to ask if I'd heard from them yet and I was like "No...". lol So I keep calling her every Tuesday and Thursday (her clinic days) to let her know I still haven't heard from them. I don't mind though as the longer they take to call and book me the less likely it is that they will have an opening during Steven's business trip - which is when I don't want it as I want him here!

Started packing in earnest this weekend and last night I packed another two boxes...going to need Steven to start bringing home boxes though. I only have one more fully empty big box, a few boxes that he brought home of random sizes (nothing super big though) and a couple of boxes that I can "top up" with a few things before sealing shut. I know, we're not even moving until early-mid August but I need to sort and pare down as I go so starting now is just logical and there's plenty I can pack now that we can live without until mid-September (when we'll start to move into our Smithers place) which will make the packing of the rest of the house that much quicker in the latter half of July!

Planning on doing our Facebook announcement this coming Monday as I'll officially be 14 weeks. Part of me would prefer to wait until after this u/s just in case but since I don't even have a date for the u/s yet I don't want to commit to that idea - however if we do decide to postpone the Facebook announcement until after the u/s I'm only giving it until 16 weeks and then we do the announcement regardless. :)

Really wish this stupid blogger would let me post pictures...I used to be able to but ever since I revamped my blog to be a pregnancy journal (essentially) it hasn't let me and it's so frustrating! Ah well.

Weekly Update:

How far along? - 13 weeks 3 days

Total weight gain? - 3lbs (down a lb from previous update)

Sleep? - Waking up at about 12:30am, 2:30/3am, & 5:30am to pee most nights...every once in awhile I only wake up at 2:30/3am and it's pure bliss! lol

Food cravings? - Baked goodies of several varieties...haven't given into this yet because I still lack the energy to do the baking! lol I keep using up my energy packing.

Anything making you queasy or sick? - I'm happy to say no to this again! :D

Symptoms? - Back and hip pain...an old issue for me but pregnancy seems to be making it flare up much sooner than I was expecting! Still very tired and peeing lots too.

Gender prediction? - Not 100% feeling this yet but leaning toward girl again...feeling like I might be a bit biased by all the 'just for fun' gender predicting games though. lol

Happy or Moody most of the time? - Happy

Best moment this week? - Finding out that a Target Canada store is now open near me...can't wait to check it out this weekend! lol

Looking forward to? - A friend who is due in October is having a gender reveal party this Friday for which I am making the cupcakes - super excited! Also, my next ultrasound...still waiting for a date but somewhere between 14 and 16 weeks is my midwife's aim (really hoping for closer to 16 weeks as Steven has to go out of town for 5 days as of June 6th and I don't want him to miss our second peek at Bun - especially since it will be Phoenix's first peek!)!

Miss Anything? - A lack of back/hip pain.

Nervous about? - My u/s appointment date...Steven has to go out of town for 5 days as of June 6th and I don't want him to miss our second peek at Bun - especially since it will be Phoenix's first peek!

Maternity clothes? - Yep but not completely...they're just starting to be more comfortable than regular clothes. I have 3 dresses that work for maternity wear but so far the weather hasn't really cooperated for them. I bought a pair of maternity capris and a lot of my shirts have an empire waist style already so they've got room...already boxed up a ton of stuff that no longer fits though! lol

Movement? - Maybe...still too early to tell for sure though.

Stretch marks? - Still only the ones from my PG with Phoenix but the lowest down ones are already starting to get red and itchy again...hate the itchy part!

Wedding rings on or off? - On!

Belly Button in or out? - In!

Labor Signs? - No way! lol
