13 Weeks!

Hello second trimester! I believe with a certain amount of chagrin I need to say that the belly I thought I had like a month ago was actually bloat. LOL.

But now there is a REAL belly! I popped about 12 weeks, as usual with the other two, and am to the no button OR zipper stage, usually with a belly band now. Wilma, one of my good friends, is going to let me use some of her little button things I think, its a tab that goes inside your jeans and buttons to them somehow that lets you leave them undone. Never tried those, so hoping I will like it better then the belly band. It can be annoying sometimes.

Also! Pretty sure I have been feeling the little munchkin moving for a week or so now. It's still in those, wait...was that the baby?? Or gas? stages, haha, but I have a suspicion it is the wittle one! It is about the size of a peach this week :).

Let's see, finally last week I got rid of most of the nausea. But I'm still having trouble finding something I want to eat. And if I don't eat quick enough when I get hungry, I do get nauseous. Fun stuff!! Also sitting down has becoming a slow, easy affair. Otherwise I feel like I'm pile driving my crotch up into who knows where. It HURTS. I remember this with my Shelby pregnancy as well. But other then that I've been good! Not overly tired, no heartburn really, headaches, etc. Yet, lol.

My 2nd appointment was last Wed, listened to baby's heartbeat and took measurement of my tummy. All was good and on track! Weight was 130. Next time I go in I will be 16 weeks, and then I'm hoping to talk him into letting me go back the next week, or latest the week after for my gender ultrasound! :D He seemed fairly amiable about it when I asked, lol.

I have been trying to walk at least 3 times a week at the park a mile at a good pace in the morning before work. I did awful last week but plan to pick it up again this week! I'm not going to be a lazy lay about like I was with Shelby.

So Labor Day was last Monday. We all went out to mom and dads lake house and had a really fun day boating, swimming and grilling. Here are a few pics!

The girls had a ball! It was perfect weather too. We have actually cooled off this weekend and week. In the 70's! Its been heavenly. Not sure if it will last, but hopefully!

Thats about it! Tata.
