13 Week Bump Date with Baby #3
My age: 30
How far along: 13 weeks
How big is baby: Size of a peach
Weight Gain: 2 lbs. I started the pregnancy back at my pre-pregnancy weight of 135. I feel huge so I'm not sure how I've only gained 2 pounds.
Exercise/Activity Level: My exercise routine has been pretty good overall during my first trimester. I was actively trying to tone up/lose the last of my baby fluff when I found out I was pregnant, so that put a big halt to that! In the past couple of weeks I got back into Body Pump and my goal is to get there 2-3x's a week with 2-3 cardio workouts in-between. My cardio workouts have consisted of intervals on the elliptical and treadmill. I have been jogging slowly on the treadmill (5.0-5.5 mph) for 1 min on, 1 min walking for 1 mile. If I can continue this during most of my second trimester I will be happy :)
Maternity clothes: I'm happily wearing maternity clothes because they are so comfy! I can still wear my regular jeans and shorts, but why would I do that when I can wear stretchy pants?!
Stretch marks: No new ones :)
Belly button: My whole belly button situation is not cute after having the girls. Lets just leave it at that.
Sleep: I sleep like a baby! 9 hours+ a night.. I'm enjoying this while I can.
Best moment so far: Announcing our pregnancy at the end of the girls 1st birthday party! I was 11.5 weeks along and felt comfortable to finally announce our news. Our family was all together so it was the perfect time. Everyone was shocked!

Food cravings: I'm definitely craving more salty foods this pregnancy that with the girls. I just am hungry all the time and could eat.. ok I pretty much do eat, all day long. I want to eat out...Everyday I think about Chipotle several times, Taco Bell, etc but have resisted for the most part.
Food aversions: Barry's sausages that he was making EVERY MORNING for breakfast.. he now eats them at work.
Symptoms:
- Tired, nauseous, and ready for bed by 7pm most nights.
Movement: Not yet, I thought I felt the baby one time last week but think its too soon.
Gender: Aren't finding out until the birth :)
Labor Signs? Nope
What I'm looking forward to: Being able to feel the baby move and kick
What I’m nervous about: Not much.. probably just how I'm going to take care of 18 month old twins and a newborn.
What I miss: A glass of wine in the evenings with my hubby & my flat tummy
Next appointment: Monday, May 23rd.. Nothing exciting. Just my 15 week check up. Next ultrasound will be between 18-20 weeks along for the anatomy scan.
