13 Weeks, the bun in the oven is almost 1/3 of the way done!

13 weeks this week, and another crazy week as always! We spent the past weekend in Las VEgas with friends and family and had a lot of fun, although i do look forward to heading back to Sin City when i am no longer pregnant someday.

 The dog is still a crazy lovey attached to her mama ridiculous giant monster!

 Our little monster is the size of a plum! still tiny but fun to have a comparison




And the craziest thing i feel this week is nesting??? I just really want everything int he house to be clean organized and fixed and i want it all to happen RIGHT NOW! but there is never enough time or money in a day to fix all of these things i would like fixed so i will remind myself that we have 7 months to complete our prepare for baby chore list and drive on.

How many weeks: 13 and 1 day
This week our baby is the size of a.... Plum!! About 3 inches, the little monster grew a half inch last week!
This week our baby weighs..... about 1 and 1/4 ounce
This week our baby can...  inhale and exhale amniotic fluid, yay for practice breathing?!?! has fully formed fingertips, if its a girl she already has 2 million eggs, and has veins and organs. Oh and that giant head is now only 1/3 the size of babies body. Starting to be more proportional.
 Boy or girl? We wont be able to see until about 20 weeks but its already growing the necessary parts!
Total weight gain/ loss: +2
Showing: Nope, not yet. But definitely feeling like some of my pants are a little snug. 
Maternity Clothes: Nope, not yet. 
Best moment this week: Well technically it was the end of last week but best moment since last blog entry.... telling our friends in vegas!! really only two of them didnt already know but it was still really exciting to break the news to some of my best girlfriends. Oh, and we told a handful of brads fraternity brothers as well. It was great to see all of their reactions!
Have you told family/ friends: not everyone, im sure the word is spreading faster than i know though.
Food cravings: strawberries, sweets ( any kind of sweet food), spicy foods. I find these cravings to be really odd, i mean sweets are a given i have always had a sweet tooth however i do not like spicy food and this baby LOVES it these days!
Miss anything?: wine/ beer, cold lunchmeat, soft cheeses, sushi!!
Anything making you sick: Still Steamed broccoli! the smell makes me want to vomit.
Pregnancy symptoms: Going to bathroom all the time!
Movement: I've felt something going on in there a few times but its hard to tell if its gas or flutters, id like to think its baby flutters though :-)
Gender prediction: We both really just want a healthy baby but if i had to predict i would say Boy!!! Brad thinks girl, just because that is what his whole family is rooting for and he really secretly wants a boy so he thinks it will be a girl since he wants a boy :-)
We call our baby: little monster, baby, we haven't really chosen an endearing term yet..
Looking forward to: Wedding dress shopping with the girlfriends and easter this weekend. 
Soon to be daddy is.... getting really excited about being a daddy, still needs to make a baby name list :-) But did successfully assist me in picking out a baby boy nursery theme, vintage mickey sports theme.

Belly photos soon to be added.
