13 weeks

We've reached 13 weeks!

Symptoms

- NAUSEA - the doctor today recommended 25 mg of vitamin B6 four times a day...but I CAN'T find it anywhere in town (I can find 100 mg pills, but that's it).  I'm getting desperate.  It should go away on its own soon, right?  RIGHT?  NOTHING sounds good to eat.  NOTHING.

- exhausted.  I don't know if it is having a 2 1/2 year old this time around or what, but I could easily sleep 12 hours a night and nap for 2-3 hours each afternoon.  Instead, I'm settling for just walking around like a zombie starting at 6:00 pm each day.  Whew.

- a metallic taste in my mouth (which apparently is perfectly normal.  It's called dysgeusia during pregnancy).  This is contributing to my nausea somewhat. 

Weight gain

Minus 0.4 lbs.  Please see above symptoms for reasoning.

Maternity clothes

Despite the lack of weight gain....I am already completely in maternity pants.  I can get away with some normal shirts or now...but the elastic waisted pants are a regular item.

Do you see this BUMP?



Cravings

NOTHING. Nothing sounds good.

From about weeks 6 to 8, tacos sounded lovely (and I ate them about three times a week those three weeks)....but now?  NOTHING.  I cannot emphasize this enough.

Anything else interesting?

We had an ultrasound today for some first trimester screening.  :)
Beanie looked great.
Heart rate = 161 bpm
Beanie is measuring at 13 weeks and 6 days (so 6 days ahead - guess someone is getting enough to eat despite all of my nausea).

Cute little profile!

Snuggled up and hiding that face.  :)
