13 weeks

Fingerprints have formed on your baby’s tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you’re having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby is almost 3 inches long (about the size of a pea pod) and weighs nearly an ounce.

Symptoms: Nausea, fatigue, difficulty with any kind of even mildly strenuous activity, headaches.  My headaches have eased, but are still occasionally bad.  No auras lately, thank God.  Any kind of exertion makes me feel like sh*t, but mostly I just avoid exertion, so it’s a non-issue.  Occasionally, it’s somewhat unavoidable at work.  I work with hardware – not a lot, but enough.  I want to just say no to all physical activity, but a lot of people at work don’t even know I’m pregnant yet, and even if they did, it still is hard to say no.  It won’t kill me; it just makes me feel really, really lousy for a while.

I think I’ve probably gained 3 or 4 pounds at this point, but I haven’t weighed myself.

I am very excited for the mental boost of leaving the first trimester behind.  2nd trimester, here I come!  I’ll call Friday the first day of the 2nd tri.

I’m kind of in a bad mood this evening because I’m still waiting for that magical moment when I feel like myself again.  I hope it will come soon, and I hope it will come, period.  I am feeling a bit better, but yeah.  I’m tired of feeling sick.  Just kind of exhausted by the minutiae of life right now.
