Time went slow getting from 12 to 13 weeks, probably because when we started telling everyone they were asking how far along are you? I would say 13 weeks because it was easier than 12 weeks and X days… Now I am finally just getting there.
A couple of things happened this past week. We went in for our chromosome screening. It was a different doctors office, I think they just specialize in testing. It was a long appointment but the whole thing was an ultrasound which was really cool. We got to see every part of our little shrimp in there (that’s what size they say the baby is now haha). Because they have to measure and note all of the limbs and organs that have developed, we got the best ultrasound yet! It was so cool to see such a tiny thing in there, makes it seem real and not that I am just gaining weight! I also went this morning and got the first blood draw portion of the testing done. They will call me with the results and let me know when I am supposed to get the second draw done. Then, hopefully I won’t have to get my blood taken for a while!
We also went to a local Earth Day celebration this past weekend and I ran into of of our friends that is pregnant and just a little ahead of me at 17 weeks. It was cute because she was showing her little baby bump. Looks like I will be getting a distinct bump soon!
I’m gonna skip this week’s photo and do one for next week. You will probably see quite a different after two weeks this time around. One side note, the weather has been really nice here, it was almost 80 degrees this weekend. I am looking forward to summer but also hope that I am not too uncomfortable being pregnant in the heat.
Next Tuesday, the day I turn 14 weeks, I have another appointment with my OB. Not sure what we will be doing but I’m sure it is just a milestone check up. I think that might also be when I officially start my second trimester but I’m not quite sure. I always get confused about how that works.
Anyway, having a good week so far…haven’t felt sick except a bit of heartburn at night. Tonight we are going out to Mexican food to say goodbye to a friend that is moving away. We will see how my stomach does with that haha
