Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 13 weeks 5 days
Size of baby:   Approximately the size of a lemon (3 1/2 inches)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Not sure.  I lost 10 lbs pretty fast but have been able to eat considerably more, so I believe I am either holding steady or gaining.  Funny enough, I do own a scale, but the reason I still own it is because it tells me what I want to hear (which may make it not so reliable…will auction it off to highest bidder.)
Maternity Clothes: I am now wearing normal looking maternity clothes!  Woohoo!  I can take the slight pressure of clothing on my belly now without getting sick.

Movement: I’ve seen the baby kick and wave and do all sorts of cute things on the u/s screen, but still can’t feel anything yet.  As far as MY movement, I’ll cover that in a few minutes (below).
New thing I learned this week: I discovered Army Wives.  And like it.  Sorry if you were wanting some new tidbit about babies, I haven’t been reading too many books (might have something to do with reading most of them in pregnancy 1 and 2?)
Sleep: Depends.  Is my husband home?  If he’s not, I have nightmares but sleep through the night.  If he is, then he keeps me awake with his tossing and turning and snoring.  And then, there’s the bathroom breaks…  (but hey, at least it means I’m more hydrated right?)
What I miss: Doing stuff with my friends.  Being able to go run errands without feeling like I was hit by a train afterward.
Cravings: Pineapple.  And, pineapple pizzert (from pizza inn).  Oh, and a veggie sandwich from a restaurant a couple of towns over.   Wolfgang puck type foods sound good too…you know…good but “fresh” and not too heavy? ..but, filling.
CRAPtastic Rating: For the past week, I’ve been between a 4 and 6.  Here’s more about the scale.
What that means for me: In plain speak, I have had better days and not better days.  On better days, I can walk and stand for short periods of time.  I can walk from the front to the back of walmart (not side to side) without feeling too bad.  I can put normal maternity clothes on.  I can ride in the car for a bit.  I can shower myself, mostly without incident.  I can sit on my porch without feeling too dizzy.  Some days, I can even do a small craft with the girls.  Other days, I am too dizzy or nauseous to move much, so those are movie days.  I’m able to eat and my medicine keeps most of it down (save for when it doesn’t and the dry-heaving).  So, it’s a HUGE improvement.  (If you saw me before, you’d know just HOW huge.)  I’ve not been cleared to drive yet, and while I might try to go to the store down the road on a day I don’t feel dizzy, I am not comfortable pushing it further than that.  So, going to church, even though I think I would do okay in the actual service (and WANT to go), I’m not there yet – there’s the driving and the whole keeping up with 2 kids by myself that would probably have me too sick to leave.  But, that’s okay.  I’m considering going to my parent’s church for a while just to be able to go now that I can sit upright.  Also, no cooking.  I just…can’t.
What I couldn’t live without: Zofran and Unisom combos.
