{13 Weeks-OH MY! 2nd Trimester!}

So go figure that as soon as I posted last weeks update I got sick! I have pretty much managed to STILL not throw up the only problem is I have a really bad cough and if I cough too long or too hard I then throw up! I am danged if do and danged if I don't---isn't that the phrase? Besides being sick with a cold-cold I am actually doing well. I like what it says down in the baby description "jumbo shrimp" :)! I see Dr. Gramann next week but it seems like FOREVER since i got used to seeing him every two weeks for like 2 months so to go a FULL month before seeing him again...I do have tons of questions and concerns for him. I got February's monthly edition of Pregnancy Magazin and there were things in there that frightened me so even though I am pretty early in asking the questions I am going to ask away!!

OH, FYI, I get my baby info from baby center and they changed the description of he/she every week throughout the 40 weeks of pregnancy. That is why one week it will refer to the baby as a he and then the next week as a she. I have gotten a few emails about if I know the sex of the baby, not yet! But in March and that is coming up faster and faster :) YIPPPEEE!!!!

Cravings: Nothing that I can remember!

Aversions: Nothing, again! (well besides the same stuff I have said before...)

Baby Colin: Your belly may soon be big enough to announce to the world that you're expecting, but your baby is still tiny. In fact, he's only about 3 inches long crown to rump — roughly the size of a jumbo shrimp — and weighs just about an ounce. Despite the small proportions, there's a fully formed baby inside your womb now. Much more proportional than it was a few weeks ago, his head is now only about a third the size of his body. His tiny, unique fingerprints are already in place. His kidneys and urinary tract are functional, and he's starting to urinate out the amniotic fluid he's been swallowing. As you start your second trimester, most of your baby's critical development will be completed, and your odds of miscarriage will drop considerably.
