13 Weeks!

I have reached the 13th week mark!  First doctor's appointment is scheduled for Tuesday with a new doctor.  This doctor is a woman, first woman OB I've ever had.  Wondering what to expect.  Hopefully everything will go smoothly.  

Oh, I thought by now that all morning sickness and fatigue would have subsided but it hasn't.  It seems more prevalent now than before.  I'm MISERABLE!  One good thing is that my wrist pain has subsided.  It was traded for constant headaches.  I'm hoping for some good advice/help at my appointment.  

Tonight my back is KILLING me.  My lower back is aching something awful.  

I so hope to be over this soon so I can enjoy this pregnancy.

Your Baby in Week 13 of Pregnancy

What's up with your baby? Well, besides being as large as a peach now, that big old noggin of hers is now about half the size of her crown-to-rump length (that’s one reason why your little peach looks more like an alien from outer space at this point). By the time you give birth, her body will catch up, measuring three-quarters of her total size. What else is going on in there? Tiny bones are beginning to form in her arms and legs, the intestines are beginning to move from the umbilical cord to the abdomen, and the vocal cords are well under construction (the first step toward saying, "I love you, Mommy!"). And because she can move her arms and legs in a jerky fashion, she may be able to get her thumb into her mouth (a habit that may come in handy for self-soothing when she’s a newborn).
