13 weeks

Got my butt out of bed at 4:50am to go to Kettlebell class.  That's ended up being the only class worth getting up that early for.  Don't get me wrong, I like to get the gym over with in the morning so that I don't have to think about getting in there after work, but I also like that extra hour of sleep.  I say that I get to take an hour long nap when I come home from work today.
I did get the balls up to introduce myself to the other pregnant lady in my class.  Strangers freak me out.  What do you say?  Awkward.  Regardless, I did it.  Relief.  She was very nice, 19 weeks, and we've decided to be preggo buddies.  Since she's only 6 weeks ahead of me I kind of get a preview of what's to come.  I definitely remember her from a few weeks ago when she had the same mini muffins that I'm packin'.  Now she's got a full-fledged basketball happening under her tank.
I wish the radio would quit playing Busch Gardens/Water Country commercials.

I am full-fledged back at the gym. I have to squeeze myself into my workout clothes like a sausage, but I manage.  I guess the best place to look squishy is at the gym.  At least it appears that I'm trying to work it off.  Someone told me to go get my running shorts in a size up.  I did.  Epic fail.  While the waistline fit perfectly, the legs were like wearing a circus tent.  I can't win.  I guess I'll have to continue wearing my spandex dry-fit shorts everyday.  Relax, I wash them... sometimes.  Haha.

What's up with Baby T?

Glad you asked!  As you can see it's the size of a shrimp.  Gross.  We saw it yesterday (Hub is now thinking it's a girl.  I am pretty sure he's thinking that because he secretly wants it to be a girl.  Too cute) and it finally resembles a human being, thank God.  I talked about this in yesterday's post so I'm not going to go into too much detail.  It looks normal,which is good.  The tech thinks it fell asleep during the ultrasound, which of course promped B to comment, "Well, he/she gets that from you."  True statement.  I can nap whenever and where ever and I'm not afraid to admit it.

Still the same old me :)

I haven't read my book yet, but I've been reading online and it says that Baby T has fingerprints (in case we lose him/her), it has eggs in the ovaries (if it's a girl), it's body is starting to grow to be more proportonate to the head (thank God because right now it's dome piece is massive), and while I have gained 6lbs. Baby T only weighs 1 oz.  Now how is that fair?  I am saying this while I ingest my mid-morning snack of low-fat cottage cheese, chopped strawberries, and honey.  Yum by the way.

Online it says to start talking "parenting styles" with your partner.  We've already decided that goal #1 is to survive the first year.  Conversation closed... for now.

So that's what's been up with Baby T and I this past week.  I'm still a regular girl who is muffin-topping over most of her pants wishing that they would turn the air conditioning down in her school so she can flow free in some sun dresses.  Still weirded out that there is a human leaching off of my energy and nutrients.
