Choices...And 13 week update

Hello!

I think Baby E is going through a growth spurt today. I am having some nice little cramps today and my belly feels tight on the bottom or something...kind of hard to explain...but I am sure it is just my uterus stretching.
I have noticed the past few weeks that my skin has been really dry, my scalp and everything. I thought I had developed dandruff...but when I was talking to my lovely preggers friends at dinner last week, they said it happened to them too...so apparently it is the pregnancy. So I have just been slathering on the lotion and not too sure what to do about the scalp...but it is all good!

I am still peeing like 6,300 times a day..Luckily I have never been one to wake up in the middle of the night having to pee, and it has not changed since I got preggers. I can not sleep anyway so not that it would matter....but it is nice that I can lay there awake and not have to get up..

Michael and I are thinking up a new girls name....We are definitely keeping Grace as the middle name...just changing the first name...I so hope it is a boy so we can just avoid the girls name right now!

We have started talking more and more about what we will do with our little bundle of love when I have to go back to work...I hate all the options...It is hard to think about leaving my baby..even though he/she is not here yet. I wish we could win the lottery so that I could stay home with it for a little while.
It is so crazy how many decisions there are to make. And none of them just affect me and Michael anymore, we are making choice and decisions based on how it will impact our child. And that brings you to a completely new level in your thought process. It is incredible how much you change....in a good way. I have found that I am discovering a whole new part of myself, and the way that I think. I just want to make all the right choices for me and my family.

Thought this was funny....Michael and I were talking a couple of weeks ago and I was talking about how I will probably rock a bikini at our pool in the back yard. He said "No, babe! What if the sun makes the baby blind?! You need to cover your belly." I just laughed.....Ok...I laughed REALLY hard. But let it go..well I mentioned it to his mom and she almost died laughing....so needless to say the whole family has been giving him crap lately about his smart little comment. I thought it was adorable and had to share it with y'all. I find it facinating how the men in our lives think sometimes..I think its so cute.

Here is the 13 week update~

How your baby's growing:

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 (the size of a medium shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce.


Love you all!
