13 weeks 5 days

and going strong.

sort of. i keep thinking i'm feeling better, with a more reasonable appetite and more energy, and then i have to stand at work for 4 hours straight on g20 duty. then my hips hurt, my feet hurt, my head aches, and i'm an all around whiny baby.

in truth, things are going well. i rarely have lasting morning sickness. i get full faster and thus feel a little sick after i eat, but that i can handle. i still sleep a lot and feel tired when i'm at work, but i don't crash at 5 pm anymore. my skin remains the same...i wouldn't call it "glowing". my chest is still large and in charge, bursting out of pre-pregnancy tank tops in a manner not appropriate for work. (of course, this is large for me...which is still smaller than probably most of the female population when not pregnant.)

the belly is sticking around. in fact, yesterday i got my first comment! embarrassingly, it came while i was paying for my large order of fresh cut french fries covered in ketchup. the women said, "hmmm, you cravin' french fries?" as she eyed my belly. i think when i'm not shoveling food into my mouth, most people would just wonder if i missed abs class for the last few weeks. i'm not sporting a real baby belly, but i do have a very low, hard bump that only i can see when undressed.

baby h3b is growing!
