15 Weeks And A Weekend Trip

Well, today I am 15 weeks pregnant! Only 175 days to go! I know it sounds like a lot, but that 1st trimester went by so fast I assume the rest of it will too. This week Bean will get up to the size of an orange! (4 in, 2.5 oz) All four limbs are now functional and are moving like crazy! To my sadness though, I cannot feel it yet. :( I have started to get my energy back a little bit, but I have had a nasty cold for the past few weeks so have still been sleeping. The nausea went away, minus yesterday when I ate something for dinner that Bean did not like and decided to tell me that quite meanly. Which we are going to have to have a talk about in Sept. because I enjoyed that dinner very much! Tonight after dinner I am feeling a little nauseated as well, so who knows. My baby bump is starting to show, but still feels/looks bigger to me than it does to anyone else. lol Your picture is posted below. :)

This weekend Carey and I had the privilege to travel to Macon to visit with family and friends. We were very excited as we have not been back in 2 years. It was wonderful to see so many familiar places and faces. :) We were able to relax and enjoy time visiting with his parents. We had a great time and definitely will not let it be another 2 years before we visit again! ;)

Tonight we went to Target to get some groceries and decided to check out the electronics section. Carey's birthday present from his parents was a video camera, but the one we looked at this weekend was out of stock. :( So we decided just to check at Target to see what they offered, and much to our surprise, there was a camera and on sale! :) You know we can't beat a good sale! :) We are super excited and feel very blessed to be able to record our child growing up and share all those moments with family. :) Thanks Mom and Dad! :)

I had a rough night last night with coming in late and then getting sick, so I couldn't sleep at all. Needless to say, it was a rough night and this morning was quite difficult. So my sweet husband decided to bring me home some beautiful flowers. :) He loves me. :)

12 Weeks!

Today we are 12 weeks! Woo-hoo! Everything really still feels the same. LOL I am pretty excited that we have reached the "glorious" second trimester! I am hoping that it is as wonderful as everyone says it is. I'm ready to feel somewhat "normal" again, but also get to where we can actually feel Bean moving around. I am so looking forward to that day! We have another Dr's appointment next Monday afternoon to check and make sure everything is still doing well. We will be at 13 weeks then. Hopefully we'll get another picture! :)

In other news, I am traveling to Florida this weekend for Caitlin's wedding! YAY! The only downside is I will be taking this trip solo as Carey as class all weekend. I know. Sad. :( I'm excited to see everyone though, BUT I am not looking forward to the train ride that I will be taking to get there. I have taken the train to Florida in the Fall, but I was not pregnant. I am hoping that the lovely sensitivities that have been gladly showing their pretty faces this first trimester will give me a break this coming weekend so I can just enjoy the ride and then my time with family and friends! Here's hoping!

Here are some belly pictures for those of you who want to see! The first one is from 7 weeks, just to document. The second one is from today, 12 weeks. I feel much bigger than I look and that I am gaining unnecessary weight, but I guess that goes with the territory. lol We'll see, hopefully I can keep the weight gain down!
