13 Weeks Pregnant

Well, officially now 13+1, but it's much easier to take  a photo on a Saturday morning, so we'll just continue with the theme.

So, the highlights this week?

• The crazy sexual dreams continue, shame most of them aren't about hubby, but what's a girl to do!?
• My nails are really strong
• My craving for cereal continues, along with my desire for fruit and generally sweet food

The low-lights?

• The weight's still going on
• My hair seems to be falling out
• I'm down to one pair of jeans and about 2 outfits for work.  Maternity clothes here I come.

According to BabyCentre this week my baby is now about 6.7cm long from crown to rump and weighs nearly 23g, about the same as half a banana. Tiny fingerprints are now at the tips of her fingers.  She has sucking muscles in her cheeks, so when I poke my tummy gently she will feel it and start rooting. It's a rehearsal for the important instinct of searching for a nipple once she's born.

So, this is me at 13 weeks

Not quite a "bump", but heading in the right direction.  To be honest though, I'm getting more concerned with the ever-obvious distinct difference in size between my right and left thighs!!
