13 Weeks! Second Trimester!!!

How Far Along? 13 Weeks! So I'm almost 100% positive that this means I'm officially in my second trimester. Which feels amazing!! Every website I go to says something different so I'm not sure what to think about that. At my appointment a week ago, she took me off my medicine because I was done with my first trimester. I don't really feel different but it does make me nervous.
Size of the Baby? A Peach! A Peach is big!! (you would think by now I would be showing. But I don't know. I have been taking photos however, if you don't see me all the time then you won't really tell. I'll add them one day!)
Maternity Clothes? Yesterday I tried to wear a pair of non maternity pants and I was super uncomfortable. And their are a few shirts I can't wear because they are too short.
Weight Gain? I guess it is the same as last week. I don't weigh myself on a regular basis.
Gender? I have no idea but the closer we get the more it is killing me to know!!
Food Cravings? I really want a viva burrito. Here lately any food that looks delicious I want. Oh and also I want a banana "pop cycle". Basically a frozen banana cover in chocolate and then rolled in crushed nuts. Mmm.
What I Miss? Sweets.
Symptoms? Nothing really. Which is nice!  
Belly Button? It is for sure still an inny.   
Best Moment of the Week? Um. Nothing exciting happened that I can remember.

12 Week Update (quite a few days late oops!)

I'm so sorry I'm so late on posting this! On Friday I'll add a picture of the little peanut! 
 
How Far Along? 12 Weeks! Saturday is the first day of the second trimester! Woot Woot!!
Size of the Baby? A Plum! I don't eat plums so I don't really know how big that is but it is bigger than a lime and I know how big that is :) lol. 2.1 inches!! And .25 ouces!
Maternity Clothes? Same old same old
Weight Gain? At my doctors visit on Thursday I actually found out I lost 8 pounds since I found out I was pregnant. I haven't been sick so not sure why I'm losing weight! I guess it is not a bad problem to have but not while your pregnant.
Gender? Everyone around me is pulling for a boy. However, I have a feeling its a girl. Not sure why. I just have a gut feeling. Be sure to vote! Also a Gender Reveal is in the works so I'll keep you posted about that.
Sleep? There aren't enough hours in the night!
Food Cravings? FINALLY got my krystal chicks!! Now just waiting on my Viva Burrito! No one does a burrito like viva!!
What I Miss? I still don't really miss anything. I kinda miss ice cream, and chocolate and other yummy stuff!
Symptoms? Nothing really. Which is nice!  
Belly Button? It is for sure still an inny.   
Best Moment of the Week? I went to the doctor on Thursday. They tried to get his/her heartbeat on the doppler but couldn't find it. Needless to say I was super scared! Then we did an ultrasound. Boy do we have a jumpin little baby! The heart beat was a strong 160 bpm. And I cried. It was so so sweet!

Non-Traditional Baby Items

I haven't been very good about updating this blog. When I made it I said that I would do at least 2 posts a week. Well you see I didn't stand by that. BUT I will try to be better. I promise.

So it is 2012 and with pinterest and all these new things coming out for babies. I decided to do a post about unique baby products. Some totally not necessary, some very practical and others just so cute you can't resist. Now I realized that the baby stuff I have pinned on pinterest aren't very crazy so I'll keep working on that but here is what I have so far.

The Outdoor High Chair. This would be great for camping or outdoor holidays. Or even just for travel. Going on a long trip and don't want to pack the big high chair, you can use this! I could find a million uses for this.

The covered wagon. Again camping. Long walks. A million uses. This would also be great if you go to sport events for other kids or family members.
Here is one of those just plain cute ones! This baby passy has an animal attached to it. Let's say Awwww together...awwwww. Ok. This makes it harder to lose.
Practical. A fillable spoon. Great for on the road, convenience or just because. Whether it actually works or not I'm not sure. But I would be willing to try it.
Maybe because my family is always on the go, I am attracted to travel products! Not sure what this is called but is a sleeping pillow thing. Great for holidays and visits etc. You can look at it and see that you can use it for a million different things.

What kind of baby products you can't live without? Any non-traditional or unique? Anything out there you would want to try?
