Pregnancy: 13th week

Week 13
January 10 - 16

Woot! I'm now starting my 2nd trimester! I know there are different opinions on when each trimester starts, and mine just happens to be at the start of the 13th week.

Anyway, people all around me are getting sick. It makes me nervous because if I get sick, there are very few things I can take to make myself feel better, and will mostly just have to tough it out. I'm just glad that college band hasn't started back up yet, because from what I hear, the college is more of a cesspool of germs than it usually is right now. Included in the list of sickies is DH. So far it doesn't seem too bad, so I hope that's all it is and that he doesn't give it to me!

As far as how I'm doing, I honestly feel worse than I did in the first trimester. My appetite is g.o.n.e. and more foods are randomly setting off nausea, though my stomach hasn't actively rebelled yet. My energy level has gone way down, so I find myself on the computer or watching TV a lot more than I usually am, which makes me feel like a severe slacker. And whenever I wake up needing to pee, it takes me at least 30 minutes to get back to sleep... which hurts a lot if you wake up 3 times a night or more. But that part makes me curious... I should keep track of when I tend to wake and then when bubs comes, see if that's when night feeds tend to happen. That would be kinda interesting.

But on the bright side, I ordered my maternity suit and it looks like it'll fit, although it might be a touch too big at the moment. I don't expect that to last too much longer. Should be interesting to use just one suit though. I currently rotate between 3, and the one I wear the day before is always still a little damp when I pack my bag the next morning. I can think of a lot things that would be more fun than putting a cold damp suit on. We'll see how it goes though. If it becomes a nuisance, I'll just buy another suit so I can rotate.

I also started 2 registries, which DH kinda shook his head at, what with it still being pretty early. But I wanted to, so I did, although neither one are complete. I did one on Amazon and one for Target. The Target one will be a little lame though, because I did it for those who don't shop online (aka, my mom). I'm still planning on going to a Target and register some more stuff there, since their online selection for "in-store" items is actually pretty small. But mostly all the fun stuff is on the Amazon one.
