During that week, my appetite grew exponentially though - MAN, I was eating all the time and taking naps {thankfully} during the holiday and days I had off. It was so nice to eat and then nap for a few hours {ok like 4 hours} and eat some more. I've been really worried about my weight gain; first time for everything, right? I had lost at least 10 lbs overall with the nausea and all my pregnancy books were saying I should have gained at least 3-4 lbs by that time. Again, luckily I had the appetite! Also this week I had started to show! {YAY!!!} My uterus was definitely letting me know it was there. Had a few cramps here and there - things are surely stretching, but for the most part I was comfortable. I was still tired however {hence the 4 hour naps}, but finally happy that I can show off my semi belly :)
EXCITING news that week was about finding out the gender - our friends from the ward mentioned a place in Costa Mesa-Ultrasound Me, where they are able to detect the baby's gender as early as 13 weeks! I wanted to wait just a bit {hard, I know!!} for the 15th week at least. All about that in the next week's post.
