It's really weird to be gaining weight like this. I know it's normal (obviously, I'm growing another person!) - but I have never weighed more than probably 105 lbs. so this is definitely a different experience for me. Even though I am barely showing, and have gained hardly any weight at all, I feel huge. Simple tasks are becoming more difficult. Shaving my legs is uncomfortable. Bending over, and that kind of thing just isn't as easy. I can't even imagine what it is going to be like when there is a basketball sticking straight out of my stomach. But, I think I can handle it for the next 6 months.
Other than that, compared to other people's pregnancies I hear about, I feel like I'm making out pretty good!
Some other updates - (I'll just post some stuff I see other people do on their blogs)
How far along are you: 13 Weeks 6 Days today
How big is the baby: About the size of a lemon.
Baby's Gender: We will find out on February 7th!
Baby's Name: Not sure yet, have plenty of ideas for girls. None for boys.
Weight Gained: Our scale needs a new battery so I'm not positive. At the doc on 12/28/11 I had gained too much already though. (in my opinion, not theirs).
Clothes: My normal clothes still fit, but I feel more comfortable in leggings and stretchier pants.
How are you feeling: Good for the most part. At night I get mild heart burn and indigestion.
What do you miss: Luckily I don't eat meat and dairy because that pretty much sums up all of the food restrictions for pregnant women. Although the one thing I do miss, that is vegan, is sprouts! Of all things I can't eat, sprouts?! I also miss my nightly scalding hot baths. I do not miss cleaning the litter box though - (thanks Tim!)
Symptoms: mild heart burn, indigestion, very mild nausea at night sometimes, tired, hungry, bad allergies pretty much all of the time. I cry at every sad thing on TV, and seeing cute babies makes me excited!
Cravings: Pancakes, apples, fruit punch and Ginger's nachos!
How are you sleeping: As long as I go to bed after 11 PM I can sleep through the night. Any earlier and I wake up and watch Netflix all night.
Movement: In the last week I have definitely felt some odd 'fluttering' movements in my stomach. I've never felt anything like it, so I can only assume that it's the baby. I'm sure I'll know for sure later.

You look super cute with a little tiny belly by the way!!! Love it! I gained 65lbs with Noah boy was that hell to get off. Can't wait to here what it is I say BOY I am usually right about 50% of the time.
NO! I'll go with the other 50% and say girl :) We have so many boys in my family, I am praying for a girl. Ha ha! I'm hoping to just gain the 25-30 lbs. like they say I should, but it seems like most people gain 40-70 lbs. with their first one. I'm not sure I could carry that around! And that WOULD be hell to get off after. I hate working out, so that would make it even worse! I'm scared! Ha ha!
