week 13

Well, I have asked 4 different people and have gotten 4 different answers. At 13 weeks are you done with your first trimester? Or is it after 13 weeks you are completed? Not sure, but damn close enough to the second trimester I think. This week was a typical boring work week. I was fatigued again this week, bed by 9pm. Little Cletus must be having a growth spurt.

Let's learn a little about week 13. The average length is now 2.5-3 inches and weights between .5 and .75 ounces. The food comparison is that it is about the size of a peach! I've noticed that my pants are a little snugger lately. Not sure if it the uterus crowding, bloating, or most likely a combination of both. Not quite ready to buy maternity clothes though. Going to at least try to hold out until 16 weeks! I figure if I can make it till we go to Hawaii I will be in flowy dresses anyways.

I guess that is the other big news. Kris and I are headed to Kauai for one last Hawaiian vacation before we are tethered down! We are pretty excited. I will fly first to Maui for a 2 day pharmacology lecture then we will meet in Maui on February 17th. We will most definitely post pictures. 

I don't even have any good pictures this week. A friend gave me this though, which I thought was pretty cute.

Maybe this will help prevent stretch marks ( I don't have any yet). Most likely I can either blame or Thank my mom. Studies show that it''s all about genetic make up, how much collagen and elastin I have in my skin. A slow weight gain helps as well.

Chloe and the ONLY stuffed animal she has not ripped to shreds. Not sure why this one is so special. She has had it since Xmas.
