Week 13
Going by our original due date estimation, this is week 13. I'm officially in the second trimester.
I read that the baby is anywhere from 2 1/2 to 4 inches long from crown to rump. These same sources are very big on comparing my unborn child to fruit. This week, my baby is a peach or a half a banana. The baby also apparently already has tiny fingerprints. I've read that, if I poke my stomach gently and the baby feels it, he/she will start rooting — that is, act as if she's searching for a nipple.
As for me, I'm feeling much better. I'm still quite tired but I'm not getting sick nearly as often. In fact, I've only gotten sick once in the past three days. I'm also extremely moody. But who's to say if that's the pregnancy or not? I'm not the most emotionally stable individual.
I'm very excited for the next ultrasound so I can feel a bit more certain of how far along I really am. Even more than that, I miss the baby! Getting to see him/her moving around during the first ultrasound made this pregnancy seem real. Since then, I've just been wanting to see that tiny little person waving to me again.
