13 weeks

How Far Along: 13 weeks one day
How Big are the Babies? The size of peaches.
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Down 3lbs. post retrieval. Woah. Though I lost 8lbs early on, I've now gained 5 of them back. However, we just got back from vacationing for the last 5 days so I'm wondering if this may change as I get back into my normal routine. Either way, it is for a great cause and I don't mind the weight gain, I was just super surprised when I stepped on the scale this morning. 
Maternity Clothes: I have several maternity tops and a few pairs of pants. I still haven't worn several of them, but I'm sure it isn't too far off. 
Gender: I can't wait to find out!! I'm crossing my fingers that we can tell at 15 weeks. 
Movement: I've felt a weird feeling a few times.. I'm still not convinced its the babes. 
Sleep: Sleep is great when I'm able to stay asleep :)
Belly button in or out? In.
What I miss: Nothing! I'm in awe of my body everyday!
Milestones: The belly is growing and I'm almost out of the 1st tri... HOORAY!!
Food Cravings:  Fruit and veggies. 
Aversions: Still just eggs.
Symptoms: Pretty much the same... nausea if I let myself get too hungry, fatigueheadaches, dizziness, constipation, sore nipples, a healthy dose of heartburn after eating pretty much anything and the newest is hunger in the night. 
Best Moment this week: The growing belly and having lunch with E and baby Alexis!!
Funny Moment: The crying has GOT.TO.STOP!
Tip of the Week: Have a snack with you at all times- and keep drinking the dang water!!!
What I'm looking forward to: the next ultrasound-- TWO MORE WEEKS!

Glad everything is going well! I think you are smart to have some maternity clothes on hand, I felt like I woke up one morning and suddenly none of my clothes fit, so now you'll be prepared :)

So glad you are doing well! Hope the vacation was restful! I can't believe I am moving next week and won't get to see you or your babes :(
