Happy Spring everyone! There's not many changes on the baby front, but we're getting close to the end of the first trimester. On Monday, we'll be starting week 12 (the time the baby is the size of a plum). At the end of week 13, we'll be entering the second trimester! Currently we're at the end of week 11 (when the baby is the size of a lime or fig). Baby Winn is kicking and stretching, but I won't feel that until (s)he gets a bit bigger. Baby's fingers and toes are no longer webbed as well (hopefully!). Little baby teeth, hair and fingernails are forming now as well.
I'm starting to feel better. I still have days of being sick and tired, but they have many more days of feeling good in between them than they used to. Sometimes it's hard to tell what's the pregnancy and what's not. Last week felt like a bad week for symptoms, but it could have been the report card push wearing me down. Or, of course, both could have been teaming up against me :) I've been feeling good this weekend, now that report cards are home. I even helped Paul with cutting down a tree this morning! I did tucker out before he did though. Poor guy was out there in the rain!
Our next doctor appointment is on the 30th. I switched doctors, so this will be the first time meeting her. I don't think we do an ultra sound then. Our ultrasound appointment isn't until the first week in May. That's when we'll find out the sex of Baby Winn. It feels like a long time to wait, but we're very excited! And who knows, maybe since my doctor is just meeting me, she'll want to do an ultrasound and we'll get to see the baby again before May!
Well, off to watch Paul finish off the tree with a chainsaw!
1 - Paul is probably getting very skinny with all the food references; plums, limes and figs are now all off his menu also, in addition to kidney beans and blueberries.
ReplyDelete2 - Please post a new picture of the baby as soon as you can. The one on the 02/24/11 post looks just like Paul ... and I don't mean hubby; I mean the slacker alien at the movies.
3 - Seriously, glad you're feeling better now. I'm sure it's all downhill from here (spoken like a man).
I am still getting boy vibes. He is definitely a boy. Paul must be cutting down all the trees to keep the little monkey from climbing them all. Next step.... removing all potatoes from the house to prevent potato guns!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update! It's hard to believe that baby Winn is that small but yet forming all the normal parts. You parents-to-be are almost a third of the way thru!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you are starting to feel better. I started being alot less tired after the first trimester.
Baby Winn is a prime topic at my office. I love being called Grams.
I was really thinking it was a boy until lately, now I don't know, I am feeling a girl. I'll be fun to find out even before the birth.
We were thinking about all the grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and even pups your baby will have to adore/entertain/love him or her. It will be the Baby Winn Village.
You and Paul will be awesome parents.
Love ya
M.
So it
It's just a miracle!
