Week 13!

Tomorrow, Tuesday, kicks off week 13 of our pregnancy, and I'm excited! I know, it doesn't take much, huh? I'm excited because I remember not too long ago, we were at 9 weeks, and looking forward to this week, because now Jeremy Jr is...

"about 3 inches long crown to rump — roughly the size of a jumbo shrimp — and weighs just about an ounce. Despite the small proportions, there's a fully formed baby inside your womb now. Much more proportional than it was a few weeks ago, his head is now only about a third the size of his body. His tiny, unique fingerprints are already in place. His kidneys and urinary tract are functional, and he's starting to urinate out the amniotic fluid he's been swallowing. As you start your second trimester, most of your baby's critical development will be completed, and your odds of miscarriage will drop considerably."

So, of course, I'm like, "WOW! Time's flying by!" And then I look at the calendar and see that December/Jan is still very much a ways away, but that's okay. We've made it through another month, and slowly but surely, our baby is making himself/herself and will be here in no time (or at least I hope so!)

Right now, I'm taking curtains down from our old apt, and waiting for the Chinese delivery to get here. I had Chinese for lunch, too, but my choices were limited to that or pizza. We're gonna be having pizza all day wednesday and thursday, probably, so I said, "What the heck!" and ordered sweet n sour chicken combination plate, fried dumplings, wonton soup, and I think I ordered crab rangoon, too... Not sure. I figure I've got one week left before we hit Trimester #2, and I've only gained maybe 2 lbs so far, which means LAST CHANCE TO EAT JUNK! Next week starts a healthier Wilcox clan. :-)

Jeremy's playing poker with the guys right now. The gals and I went out earlier for lunch, and then to Kris' for tea. So I couldn't give Jeremy too much of a guilt trip for leaving right after he got home from work--I got a quick hug and a kiss and that's it. He'd better win something! (And then use that money to buy something for me!)

Alright, back to work. :-)
