14 weeks...The End of a Trimester...



This last Saturday marked the 14th week of my pregnancy, and the end of the first trimester. And I honestly couldn't be happier about it. I have no more nausea, except when I see, hear, or think of chicken. Also, I have most of my energy left. Not all of it though. I'm still pretty exhausted by the end of the day. We have another doctor's appointment on the 12th, and I'm excited to hear the heartbeat. Plus, it means that we are only one month away from finding out the sex of the baby, and both Mike and I are BEYOND excited for that!!

But I need to enjoy the energy and the 'normal' feeling while I can. I have heard that it all comes back during the third trimester. The only bad thing is that now that my nausea is gone, I feel like I could eat a horse. I'm trying to keep that under control, but I do love my chocolate.

Do not be confused by the picture. The bottom bump is the actual baby bump. The top "bump", however, is just fat. Before getting pregnant, I was a fat girl, so it makes me look further along than I am. But alas, it's just the cookies that I enjoy so much.
