"Are you pregnant or breastfeeding?"

A few days ago, I went to fill my pre-natal prescription, as I was at the counter the attendant asked if I was pregnant or breastfeeding. This threw me off for a second and he repeated the question. To which I answered, "Yes, pregnant". WOW!!! that felt really good to say, but really odd in the same breath, as I haven't been able to answer yes to that in over 7 years. We started telling family and a few friends a couple weeks ago. So I guess, I am finally accepting that this pregnancy is here to stay. YAAAAAAY!!!!! So now, I will start to go to the websites and sign up for weekly updates and start adding those weekly "how are you feeling"s to my blog. YAY for finally being excited and getting past all the jitters.

So here we go...first update.

How far along: 13 Weeks

Total weight gain: 8lbs already...unbelievable.( I didn't gain 8 lbs until I was 5 months with my DS)

How much does baby weigh: size of a peach... .81 oz

Maternity clothes: I have purchased a bella band and a pair of maternity lounge pants. For the most part, I am wearing maxi dresses and went shopping for a pair of shorts yesterday, that I will probably wear all summer. I lucked up, my very fashionable SIL was preggers last year and pretty much on the same timeline as I, due to the fact that my niece was born last December, so she very graciously let me borrow all her summer tops and will go through boxes and send all winter things at a later date. So all i have to do is buy a couple pairs of shorts, and I am set :)
Stretch marks: No.

Sleep: yes, but not very comfortably most nights.

Best moment this week: hitting 13 weeks!!!

Movement: Not yet, can't wait :)

Food cravings: Soup, soup and more soup....yes, I know it's June...LOL

Belly button in or out: Belly button was a half-inny/half-outy before I had my DS. Afterwhich it became a totally inny. Just last night I noticed that it is slowly but surely peeking out and I am have noticed that black line down my tummy for the last 3weeks or so.

whew....that wasn't so hard.

SN: tough mommy week...DS is in a summer enrichment program for advanced students, the last couple days he hasn't wanted to go to school and been using every excuse under the sun. I go to pick him up from the school nurse today...due to a "stomach ache". Mommy-tuition kicks in and I ask what the problem is...come to find out, there is a kid in his class that has been bullying him and saying awful things to him. I called DH in tears, and told him he needed to call school, bc my way of handling would be to take DS back up school at the end of day, have him point the kid out to me and I would then proceed to give punk kid a piece of my mind and since I am preggers I would totally blame it on the hormones ;). I have always taught my child to respect others and to be a nice person to others....I hate mean kids!!!!
