Bumpdate: 13 Weeks

Gender: Still don't know!

Maternity Clothes: I bought a few things at a resale shop! Honestly I'm just lumpy. It's kind of gross. I gained some weight and then I lost some weight and my body is just weird. Everything fits weird and I'd really just rather wear Brandon's robe all day. Not so fun.

Sleep: Still sleeping good, no creepy dreams this week!

Symptoms: Still queasy in the morning but by mid day I feel fine. I am so tired of feeling tired though. Everything I read says to find the time to take a nap which really isn't a problem because Gemma still naps well but I hate sleeping in the day time and I hate being behind on errands and house work. Try as I might though, I never have the energy to get caught up.

Movement: not yet but looking forward to it! I remember it being wonderful.

Cravings: All of the salty cravings have gone! Now I just want lunch meat. Which I can't have. Oh and pickle juice. Frozen pickle juice. Brandon is entirely grossed out by this. It's just so good. 

Birth Plan: I'm really putting a lot of thought into this and I'm trying to be practical and accommodating. I love the idea of a gentle cesarean and I'm looking forward to talking to my doctor about what options will be available to me in the hospital. 

Best Moment this Month: We were in Academy on the 1st and Gemma saw a super tall man with a huge white beard and yelled HI SANTA! He turned around and said HI! Her face was priceless. She thanked him for her gift and they talked for a minute and it was just the sweetest thing. She was genuinely blown away that she saw Santa in Academy shopping for Camo. So naturally I spent the next five minutes wiping my tears away with a stray baby sock I found in the bottom of my bag... Some people are so awesome.

I promise I'll get an actual picture on the next one! Although, I still don't really have a bump... kind of just a lump... Ew. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow so I'm hoping to hear the heartbeat of this little babe!
