I’ve actually felt pretty good this past week. Some days are better than others obviously. My appetite has not come back any, so it’s still a struggle to figure out what I’m hungry for. ANNOYING!

This is me and Lil D this week:

I can't believe how much a difference 4 weeks makes and this is only the beginning.

I'm looking forward to our Dr appointment on Monday evening. Yay! At that point we will schedule our next appointment (4 weeks out/end of February or early March), which will be the Ultrasound appointment where we find out the SEX! Hopefully, keep fingers crossed that baby cooperates with that.

I bought a belly band and a couple of new bras today. Much needed stuff. I can’t wait to try out the belly band.

I also cleaned a lot today and I think I over-did it. By the end of the night I was sore and super tired.

Both Wayne and I slept until NOON! I couldn’t believe it. Actually I can as this is not the first time. But at that point I knew I did too much the day before.

I am excited to have another 3 day weekend. I plan on getting caught up on sleep, TV and cleaning.

Happy New Years Eve. Wayne was at one of his appearances and being is that I can't drink OR stay awake too late, I decided to stay home. I actually ended up falling asleep at about 8:30pm. I woke up at about 1:30am and talked to Wayne on the phone for awhile. He spent the night at his Mom's instead of coming all the way home. He has been doing that almost every Friday night as he works so late and yet has to be back at the station early the next morning.

Wayne got home just in time for him to take me out to dinner. We went to a Mexican restaurant.
Lil D thought it was yummy.

Sunday, January 2, 2010

We celebrated Christmas with part of Wayne's family today. I am going to be doing a Christmas post soon, so stay tuned for that.

We had our Dr appointment this morning. It went so good. We met with Nancy Decker and went over my "status." We also got to hear the heartbeat. It was magical.

Welcome to the blissful second trimester, widely recognized as pregnancy's most comfortable and enjoyable. (Yes, it's a relative distinction.) Don't panic if you start noticing some lovely vaginal discharge. It's called leucorrhea and is totally normal. Though it might mess up your panties, it's essential in protecting your birth canal from infection.

This is me & Lil D this week:

 

I am super excited for Christmas this weekend. I have Friday thru Sunday off and it will be a great time spent with family and friends. 

What I'm looking forward to: We are scheduled to go to the Dr on Wednesday. We are super anxious now that I am 12 weeks and on my way out of the 1st Trimester. I just want to hear the heartbeat and know he or she is still moving and growing.

I'm also looking forward to the opportunity to get some really cute baby furniture. Through Green Grandma there is a woman that moved from the apartment complex into a fully furnished townhome. To our luck, there happened to be a full baby's room and she doesn't need ANY of it. At this point I am waiting to hear back from her.

Friday, December 24, 2010

I finally heard back from the lady about the furniture and Wayne and I went to look at. It's all great stuff and she wants minimal for it, so we are picking it up on Sunday.

Sunday, December 26, 2010

We went and picked up the furniture. A BIG THANK YOU to my Dad for the use of his trailer and helping that day. This is what we got.

Dresser



Hutch



Crib



4 neutral colored "artsy" animal pictures 
(Lion and Zebra pictured below, there is also an elephant and a giraffe)





We got all this "stuff" for $200.00. It was such a good deal we couldn't pass it up. Wayne thinks the crib is on the cheaper side, but we'll see once we get it together, and if anything else we can use it one of the Grandma's houses. LOL. I'm not sure what brand anything is. She asked the seller of the townhome, but it ranged anywhere from Target to Pottery Barn.

So the clinic called this afternoon at about 4pm and said Dr. E is sick tomorrow. Our appointment is supposed to be tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon. Now it is rescheduled to Monday, January 3rd as Dr. E is out until January 6th and we have to see someone else. I am a lot more understanding about this stuff. I know it is going to happen over the course of the pregnancy. Luckily, Nancy Decker, who is a mid-wife and who I have met with before is available. Wayne on the other hand is super mad. He was so looking forward to hearing the heartbeat.

Maternity Clothes: I decided to wait on the belly band for now and my pants have been feeling ok actually. I just have them sit below my belly and then I feel ok. I can deal with it for a few more weeks.

Sleep: Some nights are better than others. Sometimes I feel myself sleeping like a baby (no pun intended) and other nights I find myself waking up a lot.

Best Moment of the Week: Finding these SWEET VIDEOS online at Babycenter and sharing them with my Husband. It absolutely amazes me how a baby can grow into a human being from just a bunch of cells.

Movement: None.

Food Craving: Same as week 9.

Food Aversions: Same as week 9.

Morning Sickness: I found out that I need to take my morning vitamins with food. I never had to do that before, but apparently I do now. It took me a few days to realize this, but after I did I’ve been feeling much better.

Gender: N/A yet. There are a lot of people that think it's a girl. I happen to think it's a boy. We'll see.

Symptoms: Acne and constipation are the major two this week. My face has totally broken out. I guess it’s just one of those hormonal things that we have to deal with. I also feel like as soon as one symptom ends another one begins. I guess it's all in a days work and it's the baby's way of telling me they are OK in there.

What I miss: I am missing Caribou less and less each day (such a good thing for my waistline).

What I'm looking forward to: Same as week 9.

Not much symptom wise has changed in the past week.

What I'm looking forward to: Christmas and being closer to sharing our news with everyone.
