Here is a belly pic from 12/6/2012, which was at 13 weeks 2 days according to the new due date of June 11, 2013. I did not know until our appointment this Tuesday that the due date was changed from June 7th. Anyway, since the baby's growth was a few days off from the original due date, it was updated! This week was fairly busy since my sister was very sick and I had to help take care of her. Our appointment on Tuesday went well. We listened to the heartbeat and discussed the lower back pain I have been having. The midwife suggested I try massage and gave me the info for free massages coming up. We also received a list of books we might want to read and also a list of childbirth classes to consider starting in the next month or two. Our next appointment is 1/14 and we will get to meet with the other midwife this time. We received the information to schedule our 20-week ultrasound that will look at the baby's sex. It will be around 1/22. My nausea symptoms have improved this past week, although I am still nauseous after eating and with foul-smelling food/breath/etc. and still sometimes randomly throughout the day. My appetite is improving and I have been able to eat normal meals on occasion. I am urinating somewhat frequently and several times during the night and my sleep is still suffering. I am still tired throughout the day as well. As you can see above my belly is growing - some bloating and fat but I am hoping that the baby is growing too... :) I did not gain any weight this past week... I feel like I have, but the crappy scale I am using does not agree. Hopefully this next week will show more significant changes!
