Week 13

I decided to steal this from Ali, because it covers everything each weeks and its a nice all in one place stats update. (Thanks Ali!)

• Size of baby: The size of a Peach! Almost 3 inches long. with a heartrate of 153.
• Weight gain: -4 pounds from the first appointment at 8 weeks. -8 from prepregnancy. Thats what limited carbs does.
• Symptoms experienced: Crankiness, and the great and lovely just appeared hemorrhoids. faaaaantastic.
• How I feel: Like I am never going to catch a break. 
• What I've been craving: Things I am not allowed to eat. Like Oatmeal Butterscotch Walnut cookies.
• What I miss: Eating, being carefree. Sugar.
• Best moment: Our 12 week scan was last week and this one measured ahead and the feeling of instant relief when I saw the little heartbeat flicker. Plus his/her palate was checked and looks good and we have very low risk factors. Also, sharing our news with Hub's brother and sister-in-law (due in 2 weeks) over dinner and their faces were identically priceless!
• Items purchased: We manned up and bought a stroller. We just couldnt pass up the amazon deal of buying a Britax B-Ready and getting a free carseat. We figured this was a really good buy because we can buy a seat attachment later on and use it for 2 kids, and its a beautiful stroller and would have been too expensive otherwise. The stroller and carseat were $400 instead of $570! and its Britax! Yes I'm freaking out and it's insane that we bought this at 13 weeks. But we will use it for all our kids whenever we get one. And the free carseat deal ended Aug 1st.
