13w - Someone's Excited!

It's official! Grandma got bit by the new grandbaby bug. I think it's safe to say she's anxious for the new little one. She hit the clearance rack at Kohl's and came bearing gifts. 16 maternity tops that should get me through a good majority of my pregnancy. There is a lot of short sleeve stuff, but if I toss on a sweater it should be about perfect through out the winter. She really scored and got all of this for about $100.

Week 13, Wow! that feels like such a milestone. The first trimester is almost over. I have my next OB appointment scheduled for the week of Christmas, and our Level II 'Big' u/s is already scheduled for January. Having been the one watching other people's pregnancies for so long, I never thought my own would be going by so fast.

What's happening with baby: Week 13 - Peach
Your fetus is forming teeth and vocal cords... savor this, their non-functional phase. Baby is approaching normal proportions, with a head now only one third the size of the body. Intestines are in the process of moving from the umbilical cord to baby's tummy. (Much more convenient.)

I love Kohls! They have great clothes and I got a cute pair of maternity jeans there the other day.

(Have I ever commented on your blog? I just started reading last week and I don't think I have!)

I'm slightly confused about the trimester cut off weeks. Some places say the first day of the 13th week is the beginning of the 2nd trimester; others say the end of the 13th week. I'm going with the first option, as it makes me feel better and farther along! (I'm 13 weeks today, too!)

Seeing the grandparents getting excited is the best part, I think :)

great score!!! and you'd be surprised how hot you can be while pg!! I was pg through the middle of november and never wore a coat and hardly ever put a sweater on (And it was a cold november!) I was always hot!!
So short sleeve might come in handy!
