Hello Everyone! So I am 13 weeks and so so close to the 2nd trimester! Hallelujah! This 1st trimester has been quite hard! I'm sick everyday, and although Zofran keeps me from actually throwing up, that queasy feeling is still there. I know it will eventually go away, because it did with Lyla...but I just can't wait to feel like myself again. Anywho, my obscene hunger has subsided a little...just a little. I feel like I don't have to eat as many snacks throughout the day so that's good I suppose. As far as cravings, I don't know if I've had any as of yet besides the normal, "I need ice cream NOW". Nothing unusual though, at least not yet. Let's see, I'm still sleeping well. I do have to wake up probably 3 times a night to pee but hey, I go right back to bed after so I can't complain. On to my growing stomach, and yes, it is already growing. It's crazy, because when they say you get bigger faster during your 2nd pregnancy, they ain't kiddin'. At 13 weeks this go around I look like I did at 20 or so weeks with Lyla. I will be very interested to see just how fast I get big. It's okay, I don't mind it...I'm embracing it. I love the bump. I really just can't wait to feel this little baby move! My friend Lauren (who is 23 weeks along and having a little girl named Autumn) just recently really started to feel her little girl and it makes me excited for that moment to come for me as well! I can remember that feeling with Lyla and it was my favorite! I loved not just knowing she was there, but also feeling her too! I know I have a few more weeks before I can feel this babe, but I am excited nonetheless. Tuesday is our 2nd doctor's appointment and I'm not real sure what's gonna go on...hopefully we'll see the baby again and hear/see the heartbeat! I can't wait for that! Rhett has been a sweet hubby and helping out extra around the house because this Momma has zero energy. Lyla is of course still stoked about the baby. She's always asking me, "When's the baby gonna come". Bless her heart, she just doesn't understand the concept of "a few more months". I really can't wait to see her as a big sister.
So y'all, don't laugh at me but I did go out buy one of those gender prediction tests! Let me just say, I know that I know this is in no way accurate at all...mostly it's just for fun and to
see if it's right when you actually find out what you're having. Haha! My friend Lauren did it and hers was right, so we will see if mine is in a few more weeks. :)
