13 Weeks....189 days to go!

“Shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, sautee it. There's, um, shrimp kebabs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo, pan fried, deep fried, stir fried. There's pineapple shrimp and lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich... That's, that's about it.” (What movie is this from???)

According to BabyCenter.com, our baby at 13 weeks is about the size of a medium shrimp (at 11 weeks, it was the size of a fig and at 12 weeks, a lime).  A lime at 12 weeks seems bigger than a medium shrimp 13 weeks.  I can assure you that this baby is not shrinking in size!  This is the first week I am starting to show a "bump."  My husband and I can tell, but everyone else says they can't tell.

I am still wearing my regular clothes, and think I have a few more weeks to wear my regular paints (tops, I feel, will last me longer). 

Here is what else BabyCenter.com said about week 13!
"Fingerprints have formed on your baby's tiny fingertips (I was surprised about this one), 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. As you start your second trimester, most of your baby's critical development will be completed and your odds of miscarriage drop considerably."

I joined BabyCenter.com after tons of girlfriends recommend the site and weekly emails.
