I think the bump is less baby and more cottage cheese with Western dressing :)
How far along? 13
weeks, 4 days
Total weight
gain: +1.5 lbs
Maternity clothes? Not
yet!
Stretch marks? Not
yet!
Sleep: Still
great. However, I do have the strangest dreams and it feels like I have about 7
a night. Plus they’re very vivid so I never know whether it’s a dream or real
life until I wake up.
Best moment this week: Going
to Estes Park today! It was beautiful there, and we explored a lot. We saw tons
of mountains, beautiful homes, and the adorable downtown – similar to Lake
Geneva. Plus we walked Happy around the town and they had a really cute
riverwalk behind the main drag. It seemed as though Happy was considering
getting in the river, so we got out of there pretty quick. Jon played photographer and shot a few bump photos of me and Happy so that was really fun, too. Just an all around perfect day! :) Not to mention when we got home, we put up some fall decorations! Our fireplace is looking very festive.
Miss anything? Now
that I’m in the second trimester, I’m feeling great so I’m not missing a lot.
We got salt-water taffy and I got a lot of cocktail flavors – mint mojito,
margarita, daiquiri, pina colada – so hopefully that will help my alcohol
craving!
Food cravings: Not
really. I’m pretty into cottage cheese with Western dressing (thanks mom!), salt
and vinegar chips, and the occasional sweet, but I’ve always liked those
things.
Anything making you
queasy or sick? Nothing!
Gender: Mystery!
Movement: Nope!
Symptoms: My
stomach still drastically changes shape throughout the day (see picture above),
but I usually begin the day with a flat stomach. This makes me think the “bump”
is just food and bloating!
Belly button in or out? In!
Wedding rings on or
off: On.
Happy or moody most of
the time: Happy! I’ve been sleeping great,
have a lot more energy, and am much more into adventuring. For a few weeks, Jon
had to do all the grocery shopping alone because I couldn’t stand the thought
of walking around the store. Now I feel like I could climb a mountain!
Looking
forward to: Tomorrow morning we're making frosted flake crusted challah french toast. It's one of my favorites and very time intensive, so it's going to be an adventure! Also, we found a great deal for Hello Fresh ($20 for
three meals!), and I cannot wait for the box to arrive! The three meals we
chose are Caramelized-Pineapple Burgers with Monterey jack cheese and red
cabbage slaw, Roasted Pork with balsamic fig sauce, green beans, and rosemary
potatoes, and Smoky Black Bean Cakes with sweet corn, avocado salsa, and
arugula. We love to cook so it will be fun to try new recipes and have all the
ingredients we need delivered straight to our door!
Hello baby! Baby is facing the camera with it's head on the right and it's bum on the left. You can see the two halves of the skull!
Celebratory Little Man Ice Cream (french toast and banana chip) after our second successful appointment!
We drove up to Rocky Mountain National Park (and then turned around when we realized it was $20/day and we didn't have our walking shoes).
Salt water taffy because Jon loves the baby (and me!)
Leaving Estes Park
