How far along: 13 weeks, the end of the first trimester!
Best moment this week: Sharing the news with our parents, they were ecstatic!
What's new with baby: Baby is this size of a peach (or tomato if that's all you have in your kitchen to take a picture with), about 3 inches long. Reproductive organs are forming, eyes are in the correct spot instead of on the sides of the head, and baby is looking a lot more human. (Even though I can't see the baby, I have to admit, this development is a pretty big relief- no more creepy alien baby in there.)
Mom is feeling: Happy. There was so much joy and excitement when we shared our news and it was a moment I will never forget it. We've also started telling close friends and everyone is thrilled for us. It's also a relief to no longer have the burden of keeping Baby Wheeler a secret, although I'm really glad we did. I love that so many people already love the wee-est Wheeler.
Weight gain: None, although my shape is definitely changing. I have a small bump that looks they way I used to look if I ate a big meal.
Wardrobe: Same as always, but I'm happiest in sundresses and sweat pants... which is no different than what I always changed into the moment I got home from work, who doesn't prefer comfy clothes?
Cravings: None
Missing: Sudafed, DayQuil, NyQuil... any drug with some pseudoepedrine (off limits) in it to help fight this nasty summer cold I caught
Name News: Laura let me borrow some Baby Name books, and we spent our road trip home shooting down names. We've had a few favorites on our list for years, but it's going to be a tough decision.
Scared about: News leaking on Facebook or elsewhere now that some people know before I've had a chance to talk to my boss.
Excited about: Starting to see a bump, can't wait to watch it (and baby) grow!
Love the updates! Keep 'em coming! I should have offered you my belly stickers when you were here on Saturday - want me to mail them to you?
