Baby Wotring - 13 Weeks!

Don't you love the blocks?! A gift from fabulous Auntie De to help track the pregnancy and Baby Wotring once he/she arrives! Thanks Auntie De! 

Hey 13 weeks! Baby Wotring is the size of a lemon this week and his/her movements are becoming more fluid-like and less jerky when he/she repositions arms and legs. 

13 weeks

The best part of this week by far was getting to see our little nugget! We had genetic testing done (it's an optional test we decided to do) and not only got to see the baby but hear the heartbeat for the first time too. It was absolutely amazing and I was so glad Ray could be there to see the baby since he had to miss our doctor's appointment last week. It almost doesn't seem real when you see the baby on the screen but it's just so exciting every time we get to see Baby Wotring especially now that he/she is looking like a baby and not just a little sac!  The test results came back today and everything looked great the nurse practitioner said. She put our odds at one in greater than 10,000 for a genetic disorder which is the highest you can score on the test (clearly Baby Wotring takes after his/her momma)! 

Our baby!!

There basically wasn't any "down" this week but if I had to come up with one I guess it would be this whole running to the bathroom nonstop thing. I've been getting up at least once or twice a night and running to the restroom what feels like every hour at work but I read that should be ending pretty soon which will be welcomed!

Getting my fitness on

My energy seems to have returned for the most part and I've been getting in some good workouts this week, mostly on the elliptical but I really want to get out there soon and make my (hopefully) triumphant return to running.  I did three elliptical workouts this week and got in a lot of walking which felt good after 6 weeks of virtually no exercise! 

Chipotle deliciousness

All that exercise has sure worked up an appetite! Ray's out of town for our friend Evan's bachelor weekend in Nashville so I decided to treat myself and Baby Wotring to a delicious burrito bowl from my beloved Chipotle.  Thankfully the little nugget is a big fan of Chipotle so I see many more of these bowls of goodness in my future!
