here are some of the things that have come with the first 13 weeks of being pregnant:
- lots and lots of pickles at first... so stereotypical, but it was the only thing that always sounded good!
- only getting sick twice- i have been very blessed...
- starting to get a little belly pooch- the first time i've had any sort of belly... so weird.
- random cravings for pasta, salty things, fruit, chinese food, fish.
- my face breaking out like crazy. =P
- many, many, many trips to the bathroom.
- adjusting to sleeping on my side- interrupted by at least one nightly trip to the bathroom.
- squeezing into my "fat" pants and the buying of my first maternity pants for when i can't squeeze anymore. =)
- buying pregnancy books for me and for brad.... =)
- getting the weekly email updates from babycenter.com, finding out what kind of food our baby is the size of... watching it grow from the size of a poppy seed to the size of a medium shrimp like it is now. (woohoo!)
- seeing our little one for the first time on the screen of the ultrasound machine... one of the best moments of my life.
- starting to think about being a family soon... thinking in terms of "the three of us"... planning the baby room.... picking out names...
it's been fun so far- i'm looking forward to the next trimester! i can't wait to start showing some more, to get the ultrasound to find out whether it is a boy or a girl, to get the baby room painted and set up, to feel the first movements of the little one inside me. =)
HEY!! Congrats!! I noticed you said you were buying baby books and I'd like to recommend one to you: it's called What to Expect when Expecting. I used that book when I was pregnant with both my girls and I loved it. I also have now been using What to Expect the First Year...after the baby is born. Anyway, just thought I'd mention it to you if you're interested. Glad to hear everything is going smoothly so far and I pray that God keeps you both healthy. ~ Kacey
