So many of you saw my Valentines Day Announcement:
I will be 14 weeks on Friday and cannot believe how fast the first trimester has flown. We found out a few days before Christmas and couldn't resist telling our parents! We acted like we had a special Christmas gift for them. In the bag was a frame with this photo:
Their reaction was priceless! But of course I had to swear them to secrecy since I was only about 5 weeks along at that point.
So far I have felt pretty good - As long as I eat first thing in the mornings and don't get around any nasty smells, the nausea has been to a minimum. I was expecting to be a lot more tired but that hasn't been terrible either - granted going to bed at 9 pm should help with that.
So here are the 'typical questions' - Oh and I am due August 30 (yay for a Big, Hot Summer!)
How far along: 13 weeks
Total weight gain: none
Maternity clothes: my work pants are tight and my friend, Karlla gave me a box of her maternity clothes- so I have been wearing a few pair of pants. They are so comfy I may never go back to normal pants again after the baby is born.
Stretch marks: nope not yet but I am using Burt's Bees Momma Bee Belly Butter to *hopefully* prevent some of that.
Sleep: great. get up 1 time to use the bathroom.
Miss anything: Wine! - and deli meat (although I have had it a few times)
Movement: not yet
Food cravings: Nope!
Anything making you queasy or sick: I was having an aversion to Salad but that seems to be better now. Pork was not appetizing but that has been a few weeks ago.
Have you started to show yet: I have a 'mini' bump but if you didn't know me you wouldn't see it.
Gender: We find out March 27
Labor signs: No
Belly button in or out: In
Wedding rings on or off: On
Looking forward to: March 27 to find out the gender!
