So I got a call back, scratch that. I had to call the doctor to find out the results of my blood work. I am low on iron. So I have to take 325MG of iron a day. So glad the pills are small. I had to stop taking my original prenatals becasue they were too big. They had iron in them, but I couldn't get them down. I'm a baby ;) So I switched to gummy prenatals, but they didn't have iron in them.

I also got my hospital bill. Yikes. I had gotten one earlier, and I only had to pay a very small amount for a large bill. I thought that was all I had to pay. Come to find out, the first payment was only the copay. So I had to pay a whole paycheck to pay off my ER visit. Sucked. Good thing M got me good at saving money! We ran back and forth between the doctors and the bank for a few hours yesterday. Ugh!

We went shopping after, so that made me feel better. :) M painted my nails at Sephora, you can see it in the photo haha.

Baby #1 ; Week 13

Today's date: Sept 25, 2011(Took this pic on Sept 22, 2011)

How far along: 13 weeks

Total weight gain: I lost a pound lol

Size of the baby: 2.9 in ; size of a peach.

Sex: Too soon to tell!

Maternity clothes: None! ...yet. Pants are starting to get very tight and I'm having to suck in a bit to button lol <--- pretty much true, except now, with some pants, I just leave the button undone.

Sleep: Sleeping ok. Just getting up to pee all the time.

Best moment(s) of the week: I want to say my weekend, but, I was sick all weekend. The rest of my week was filled with work. Boo!

Movement: Nadda.

Food cravings: Nothing at all this week, really.

Food aversions: Nothing here either.

Morning sickness: My weekend, Thursday and Friday, was pretty rough. Started out with a headache and was feeling like I was going to throw up most of the weekend. The headache also lasted all weekend long and I still have it. It is one of those, where if I sit up too fast, it'll pound really hard. If I lay down too fast, it pounds really hard again. Basically any movement made/makes it pound. Also, the more water I drank, the worse I felt. Once I drank 2 bottles of water I finally started feeling ok. Dehydrated? Also, M and I ordered Italian Beef sandwiches again. And I could only eat half. The next day I tried eating the other half, and it about came right back up. I threw the rest away, such a waste! I did do a 13 week video the same day I took this picture, but I don't know if I'll upload it. I just look and sound miserable lol

Symptoms: Besides my sick weekend, I've been good. Still more energy, but still pretty bad breakouts.

Labor signs: Too soon.

Belly button in or out: In.

What I miss:  Buttoning my pants and still being able to breathe.

What I'm looking forward to: My weekend, lol! Hopefully I do feel better. I'll get my update done and a video or two made -- on time. :)


Happy Fall!

Also, my grandpa has been in the hospital for about 2 weeks and had multiple surgeries. I hear he can finally go home tomorrow (Sept 15, 2011) !! We have all been worried about him and I know my gram missed having him at home, dearly. Glad you are home safe and sound, Pops!

Until next time :)
