size of a peach: I just gained 1 lb. since prepregnancy. Still nauseated at night.  Doesn’t allow me to eat big portions.  Only a small group of people know so far.  We’re be making our announcement this week. This is Baby’s ultrasound at 13 weeks. Your dad says you have a long body and a round head like your sisters.  While seeing you inside, you were moving your hand so much to your mouth.  You were full of energy.  I smile every time I see you. PS.  I heard your heartbeat. 🙂

size of a plum: Still sick at night.  I don’t know whether it’s hunger induced or just nausea.  I try to eat something small if I cannot suppress it, or take it as a blunt reminder to drink fluid. Have an aversion to chicken more than ground beef these days…So if I do eat chicken, it’s only fried wings.  I do however have started reliking soda and sometimes coffee. I’m also getting over a bad sickness.  I felt so weak last weekend.

size of a small lime: Haven’t gained any weight yet.   I still have an aversion to food at night esp. with strong odors.  Not eating too much.

size of a prune: I’ve been cutting coffee from my diet significantly because my body has an aversion to it.  It was a little difficult at first because I would want to drink it but the first sip would send me wanting to chuck. After being on a mostly fresh diet with fruit and occassional meats, I lost 2 lbs.  This pregnancy is a little more sensitive to foods than my first two pregnancies. Q. When it comes to getting pregnant, we… …have been trying for months.

size of a bluberry: Q. My OB/GYN is… …Dr. Gamburg.  He also delievered our 2nd child, Zienne, so I pretty much trust him and know he’s a pleasant doctor to help me through this journey. Q. Hooray! Our baby’s first ultrasound photo… …So beautiful.  It made me tear.  Such a miracle.  Thank You Lord for your love and trusting us to raise your beloved. When we saw our baby on the ultrasound, we felt so humbled.  In love.  Expectant with the possibilities.  I love my two girls so much and see their different personalities and strengths, so it’s exciting to see who this baby is going to be.  Perze was amazed to see up front the reality of new life inside me.  He has a new responsibility.  He was carrying Zienne while we were looking at our first ultrasound. Q. I think is it going to be… …a boy. Q. I’ve been feeling… …a little nauseous but nothing serious.  I’ve been eating regularly. Q. The foods I dream about eating are… …FRUITS! 

size of a poppyseed: Q.  When and who we told first… We told our girls 1st after we found out we were pregnant.  Emma was already expecting a baby since she would pray for it every day, sometimes even crying for it.  Zienne was a little more hesitant at 1st but was happy to become an Ate.  We told Perze’s family 2nd then that night, we told mine after dinner.  They were excited to ask the girls what they thought and felt.

I turn green at the faintest whiff of… …meat cooking, strong meat flavors. I feel the worst… …in the evening.  My husband thinks it is going to be… …a boy. Our official date… …August 29. When I saw it was positive, I… …laughed. When and where I took the home pregnancy test… …Perze and I were in our bathroom, Dec. 26th, right after Christmas.  We took the test which affirmed our suspicions, We were elated and I teared a little knowing we’re waiting for thie little one who will complete our family.
