Hello Second Trimester!!

Today I have reached 13 weeks! I have read different places the second trimester starts week 12, 13, and 14, however I am going with week 13. I am very excited and grateful to have made it this far, and I hope my baby continues to stay put and grow. The last couple weeks have been pretty uneventful, with the exception of a few days last week. Wednesday and Thursday were not too nice to me. I had a very hard time eating lunch both those days. I felt like I was going to gag with each bite I took. So, I ate what I could and left it at that. Dinner time I was completely fine, and no issues eating. So, I am not sure what that was all about.
I have noticed that it is a lot harder for me to eat what I am used to at one time. I get full pretty fast, but then hungry again a couple hours later. I think I am learning to just put aside the rest of my dinner or lunch for when I am hungry again to finish it. Pregnancy has a lot of things to get used too. I never realized just how much things do change, for instance sleep! I have always heard the last trimester is the worst for sleep, but no one ever told me you have trouble sleeping the WHOLE time you are pregnant. It has been a good 13 weeks since I have slept ALL the way through the night. I wake up either because I have to pee, which is on average 2 times a night, or because I have some sort of crazy dream that wakes me up. Then, I usually have a hard time falling back to sleep. I think this is why pregnant women are always tired, they don't get any sleep at night.

Well here are a couple pictures for you guys, my 13 week belly shot which I think is starting to round out at the bottom and the six week to compare. Enjoy :)

11 weeks!

Two more weeks in the first trimester! My time flies. This past week has been pretty uneventful for the most part. I had one day where I wasn't feeling very well. But, the big news is that we had another ultrasound! I was sad that Jake wasn't able to go, and I think he was a little disappointed too. The ultrasound tech was awesome she was so sweet and told me everything. The baby has grown so much in the last 3 weeks. It actually looks like a baby now. I was able to see the baby moving and wiggling around. We saw the baby stretch out his legs and moving its head up and down. It was moving so much the tech said she was having a hard time keeping up with the baby. We were able to take a listen to the heartbeat and it sounded so much stronger and faster than the last time. I think this last ultrasound made it even more real that I am actually growing a little person.
Here are some pictures from the ultrasound.
