Inbetween

This week I am 13 weeks and we are the size of a peach or a nutter butter depending on what site you look at. That seems like a big difference, the peach seems so big and nutter butters just makes me hungry!!  Oh I also got another ultrasound right after Christmas!! It is SO amazing seeing the changes just from the last time!! My next appointment is right after Taylor’s birthday at the end of the month.

In this one it looks like the baby is sucking 'his' thumb!!! Too stinkin cute!!!

This one is a 3D image which is why the baby looks like a little alien!! 'He' has one hand up by his eye (which is how I sleep) and the other at his mouth!! Love it!!!

*Jason and I say 'he' until we know for sure. My oh so funny husband drew an arrow pointing to the umbilical cord and wrote "its a boy" on the ultrasound...I was about to strangle him but couldn't stop laughing*

I love the pregnancy sites and counters!! Its actually very comforting being able to read what other women in the same stage of their pregnancy are going through and most of the time I feel the same way! I'm not the only one who feels bloated and wants to be in sweats all day!!

I am sooo happy to be moving into my second trimester. The first one was filled with a constant sick feeling. I actually never got sick, except the one time I ate a bad brownie, but the constant nausea is almost worse! I would have rather gotten sick and been done with it than feel that way all day long. With Taylor I was only sick for the first hour after I woke up. If I ate anything in that first hour it would come back up but after that I was fine for the rest of the day. This time around I was just miserable ALL the time.

Some people lose weight due to morning sickness, that defiantly hasn’t happened to me but I’m still not really gaining yet either, I’m not sure how that’s even possible considering how big I feel!!

I was at an ugly Christmas sweater party a few weekends ago and when we told people everyone I was pregnant they all said I didn’t look it yet… I sure did feel it though especially that day since my sweater felt tight!! Most days I feel like I’m already six months instead of a measly 3. Thankfully my clothes still fit but I am defiantly in the in between stage!! Things are starting to feel tighter and my mom said she noticed I was starting to have a little pooch on Christmas.

On most sites people suggests the belly band but with Taylor I went the rubber band route, (you know where you put a rubber band around your pant button and loop it back around lol the cheap way), and then went with maternity clothes when I was big enough. I haven’t started maternity shopping yet but I did treat myself to a pair of express jeans that were a size big. I figure I can wear them now and then again afterwards before I get the weight off. I also got a few tops too!!

I have noticed I am short of breath doing simple tasks but that’s another thing I’ve read that other women are also experiencing.. I find myself out of breath at work more often. I keep telling myself I’m going to work out but other than playing Taylor’s Just Dance game she got for Christmas I haven’t really been sticking to that (although that game will kick your butt)

The girls are certainly enjoying this pregnancy so far!!!!!! I’m going to have to make a stop in to VS soon if we keep up this pace!!!! Normally this would be great but I was already right where I wanted to be in that department. However that’s defiantly not something worth complaining about!! I know my husband has no complaints!!!!  

My friends (and husband) thoroughly enjoyed having a designated driver for New Year’s Eve. It was fun watching all the drunkos being the only one sober, I didn’t even do the champagne toast, everyone tells me one glass of wine wont hurt but I really don’t see the point nor want to risk them being wrong. We had a good time New Year ’s Eve but I’m not going to lie, I will be happy when I can have a glass of red wine again!

Things are coming along great and I am super excited to see what 2011 is going to bring!! I know there will be a lot of changes this year and I welcome them all!!

Hope everyone had fun and safe holidays and HAPPY 2011!!
