13 Weeks

The fetus (as Rob calls it) is now just about 3 inches long from crown to rump - it weighs nearly an ounce! You can compare this to about half a banana :) It has unique fingerprints, and when I poke at my belly, the baby will start rooting, as if it's looking for a nipple.

**Please don't be offended by our use of 'it', we love our baby, but aren't finding out the sex - and Fetus sounds a little too creepy for me LOL

Our ultrasound is on Friday, only 2 more sleeps until we get to see the little one swimming around! I can't wait, and I'm totally unsure if I should go full of water or apple juice - I already have to pee ALL the time, I don't want to be about to burst when I'm there... but I dont' want to risk having a hard time seeing our bean, because I didn't drink up. I think I'll suffer with a full bladder!

And the morning sickness is back in full force! I stopped taking the Diclectin (because I was out of pills, NOT because I'm a sucker for punishment!) And sure enough, once it was out of my system, I've been feeling like crap. Two days in a row now, I've had to pull over on the highway, and get sick - totally embarrasing! I'm sure the other motorists think I'm some drugged up psycho, at 6:30am!! Honestly, if I could NOT vomit, I wouldn't!!

Rob figures that the sicker I get, the healthier our baby - so I'm pretty sure he has no sympathy for me lol I keep reassuring myself there's a light at the end of the tunnel. I just really hope it's not a train!
