Well TODAY is the start of my second
trimester. Officially 14weeks!! I can honestly say I'm not going to
miss a thing about these first three months. I got big early (showing at
6wks); had morning sickness all day, every day from 6wks-now (with some
actual "getting sick" happening these last 2-3 weeks); and just feeling
like I can't do anything. Whether it's because I suddenly have no time
to, no energy to, or just want someone else to do it... These first
three months were draining!
I guess I will miss the "firsts" though. This is my very first pregnancy so everything was new and/or unexpected. I got to hear the heartbeat at 9weeks and then again yesterday. It was a nice way to wrap up this first trimester. And seeing my boyfriend fall in love with our little one; he's always putting his hand on my belly and won't sleep unless he's touching it. If he wakes up in the middle of the night and I'm not there, he pulls me back and puts his hand on my belly again.
I finally started to look PREGNANT (as opposed to just fat) within the two-three weeks. Being 5'2", I was really worried about gaining a ton of weight fast and looking just fat. Well, I haven't gained an ounce! I actually lost 11lbs since finding out! But the "bump" is a full blown preggo belly now.
I think having these little mini-goals throughout the pregnancy has helped keep me from feeling overwhelmed or like I'm never going to see July 7th. I look forward to the next milestone and focus on that one until it gets here.

- 1st U/S= 9w - Done!
- 10w=25% there - Done!
- 14w=start 2nd trimester - Done!
- 17wks(ish)= gender reveal
- 20wks=Halfway there
- 28wks= third trimester
- 34wks=baby shower (Memorial Day weekend!)
- 37wks=my bday (almost exactly)
I still freak out about the fact we have a few things up in
limbo right now. We haven't decided which room will be the nursery, let
alone started decorating it. We don't have any girl names picked out; but
then again, we don't know what we're having either. I don't know who's
going to watch my baby when I go back to work after Labor Day (funny
timing, I know) or what my work schedule will even be like. Plus all the other things that come after having the
baby. So I think I'm more freaked out about the "post-pregnancy" than
the actual next 6 months. lol
Any guesses yet? :)
