13 Week Update

Official due date is... 

October 13, 2011

Our baby is the size of a... 

Peach (about 3 inches long)

Gender... 

Don't know yet, but we'll find out somewhere around the 20 week mark.  So excited to find out!

Names... 

Sorry, we're keeping this quiet until the precious little one arrives.  We do know that if it's a boy, his name will start with a B, following a Brinkmeyer family tradition.

Feeling the baby move...

 Not feeling anything yet, but I'm anxious for it.  I keep concentrating really hard to see if I can be still enough to feel it moving.

Cravings...

For the past few weeks, I have had an english muffin with cream cheese and hot sauce on top daily...love it!  

Sickness...

I'm so thankful that the yucky feelings and morning sickness the first trimester brings are pretty well over.  Besides my expanding waistline, I feel somewhat normal.  

Making way for baby...

So far, we've moved the desk from the former office (future nursery) into the guest bedroom, but that's about it.  We'll be able to get into more nursery decorating after we find out the gender.  I was really excited to find a Boppy pillow at a yard sale in excellent condition for $5.  I've heard these are great for sleeping, nursing, supporting, etc.  And, they have removable covers for easy washing...sweet!  I can't believe I'm getting excited about a pillow. :)

Favorite thing about pregnancy so far...

Hearing the heartbeat...so incredible!

Least favorite thing about pregnancy so far...

HORMONES and all that it implies!

What I'm reading...

Secrets of the Baby Whisperer by Tracy Hogg...bought at a yard sale and really enjoying so far.

Most excited for...

Next milestone: Feeling the baby move.
