Tummy Tickler: Week 13

So I snagged this idea from my cousin Sara and put my own twist on it.....This is the "Tummy Tickler", a following of our pregnancy every couple of weeks and milestones we meet.

Week:

13 weeks

Cravings/Aversions:
LOVES me some Butterscotch over Vanilla Ice Cream every night, green peas with lotsa pepper and tuna sandwiches with mustard (in moderation of course).
However, if you cook popcorn in the microwave or I am around raw hamburger, I will throw up all over you and Chris's beer breath is enough to send me praying to the porcelain god asap.

Roller Coaster Emotions:
Poor Chris some days I tell you....I was cleaning this past weekend and started crying for absolutely no reason. "What's wrong?" he asks. I reply "Nothing. I don't know. Everything. I'm taking a shower".
Then I passed out on the couch and slept for 2 hours and woke up happy as a clam and made dinner.
ROLLER COASTER!
Depending on the day, it could be a video on the CMT Top Country Countdown, or the fact that Ernie looks up at me with those puppy dog eyes that start the waterworks....

Weight Gain/Loss:
Down 12 pounds since we got pregnant, laying off the brews really does make a difference! Should start gaining here soon says the doc tho.

Tummy Ticklers:
An occasional flutter, light cramping the doc says it is "round ligament pain" or stretching of the uterus and common for a first baby. I pee 4 times a night at least, lots of burping and gas, and I eat prunes like an old lady to keep me regular. Too much information? :) It is feeling a little "weird" to lay flat on my tummy when sleeping, and I can't get comfy for the life of me.

Here is a pic of Daddy's hands on Mama and Baby in the shape of a heart.....nothing but love here in the Crain house <3

Our Shy Lime in the Coconut

At our visit last week, the nuchal testing went great. It looks like our little LimeinmyCoconut is progressing nicely, and everything was as normal as can be expected. I am feeling much better, still pretty tired but the naseau is dissipating and the moodiness is evening out. Here are some pics of the latest ultrasound. If you are wondering why we get so many, it is because they are monitoring my thryoid and blood pressure. Thyroid is under control for now and blood pressure is borderline, so I am in good shape so far, every day is a new adventure. The only cool part about all the doctor visits is all the cool pics we get of our little peach. No luck on finding the gender, our little Lime had  legs crossed the whole time.
Shy? Must take after Papa Bear, that's not a Danielle trait :)

12 weeks 5 days, belly ultrasound - look at those legs growin!!

10 weeks 3 days vaginal ultrasound

Mom's Visit and our New House

Time been flying here in Hawaii and lots of changes! We have moved into our new place, it is about 2 blocks from the beach, and we are saving money for our little Lime in my Coconut. This is the theme song around the house now that we are almost 12 weeks and the baby is the size of a lime this week. Now that we are 3 days away from the second trimester, we can't believe that we are having a little person join our family in 6 months! Next week we have another ultrasound already!

Here is a photo of our new kitchen and dining area...

Mom was here for 18 days to help with the move since I can't lift anything heavy, and she was a blessing. She cooked meals, we watched soap operas and hit the beach every day. Very relaxing and much needed mama and daughter time. She is officially Mimi now :) Grandma isn't allowed because she is only 42. LOL.

She will be back for my birthday, and I already miss her so much....
