I decided to blog today because no matter what book you read or which doctor you speak to, I'm officially in the second trimester....no ifs, ands or buts.
Speaking of butts, I'm happy to say mine isn't growing any bigger YET. Woohooo. That is not to say that I won't be sporting the maternity jeans to Thanksgiving dinner tonight. I'll be more than pleased to have all that room in my pants for the fully belly I'll be rocking later.
Pregnancy Highlights
1. We announced to the world at 11 weeks. I just couldn't take it anymore. Of course we had all positive reactions! Everyone is super excited for the first grandchild on both sides!
2. I made it through the first trimester with ZERO morning sickness. Sometimes at night I would feel super icky but I was usually in bed by 8 anyway. Now ladies and gentlemen, I can stay up until the late hour of 9:30....the exhaustion hasn't quite passed yet.
3. Heard the heartbeat at 12 weeks. This was super exciting as I still wasn't convinced there was really something in there! Now I've been lent a home doppler so I can hear it anytime I want. I'm trying to limit myself to Thursdays only as that's when my week changes.
4. Broke out in a NASTY rash all over my legs. I've never itched so bad in all my life. Thankfully, 1 doctor's visit, some steroid cream and a claritin later, it was all cleared up.
So there you have it. First trimester highlights.
5. My jeans are officially getting too tight to wear. I bought a few maternity things but I'm not ready to go there just yet. I see a baby bump in my near future.
