Wow.... 14 weeks. This week the nausea is definitely gone. One major change is the amount I have to use the bathroom overnight. I had forgotten how annoying that was! Last night it was 6 times!

This week I will stop my prometrium as the placenta should have taken over by this point. I've been trying very hard to manage my anxiety. I try not to count how many days along I am and more or less am trying hard to ignore the fact that I'm pregnant. My belly is starting to get bigger and I'm getting more uncomfortable at night. i also get out of breath more quickly when I take Colson upstairs and I have to take a break when we get to the top of the stairs. :-)

Colson is about to walk. I am so excited!!!! The past 3-4 days he has figured out how to use his little walker and he is zooming around the house with his cute little toddler walk! I love that kid so much!

Almost out of the first trimester! The last week has gone by so fast. This time around, pregnancy is just flying by! I think it's mostly because I am so focused on Colson instead of just counting down the days until our next doctor appointment.

This week the nausea has gotten so much better. I am still having food aversions and can't stand the sight of meat, but other than that, my energy is beginning to return. I THINK I have been feeling the baby this week. I have felt random flutters here and there. It turns out I have a posterior placenta this time which means that I will probably feel more than I did with Kailee and Colson. I'm sort of looking forward to that!

I have been terrible about blogging while pregnant this time. I hope I don't regret it and I'm going to try and blog weekly from here on out.

I am currently 12 weeks pregnant. SHOCKING. We were able to go to the doctor on Feb 24th. I was supposed to be almost 10 weeks at that point. I had an ultrasound and she took all the measurements and said that the baby was measuring so far ahead that we would be changing my due date by a week. I guess I did blog about that in my previous post. I'm still dumbfounded. When people ask, I can't bring myself to say September 15. I just say that I'm due in September.

The days leading up to the ultrasound were hard. My morning sickness had started to taper off and I was preparing myself for bad news. I had actually planned to wait until Spring Break at school to try and schedule a D&C if I had to.... that's how "prepared" I was to hear bad news. When she put the ultrasound wand on my stomach, the first thing I saw was the fluttering of a little heartbeat. It made me smile.

Week 12 has been interesting. We've announced to everyone that I'm expecting. It's still odd hearing people congratulate us. My first reaction is "we'll see what happens." A terrible reaction, I know, but it is my reality. I try not to say it out loud. I try just to sit back and say thank you as I tell the little voice in my head to shut up.

I'm starting to feel better. I'm still having food aversions. More specifically, meat. I hate the sight of meat. I hate the smell of meat. Yuck. Brent cooks bacon in the morning and the smell alone makes me want to vomit. Thankfully he has begun to wait until I leave for work to cook his breakfast. One of the many reasons he's so awesome. :-) I've also started feeling the aches and pains of pregnancy. I feel stretching this week and Brent said that he noticed my belly pooching out a bit more than usual yesterday. :-) I've also begun the multiple bathroom trips overnight. (I hate this part) Last night was 3 times. :-(

Overall, I feel good. My next appointment is in April. We don't have my 20 week ultrasound scheduled yet, but I'm hoping she will let us take a peek to see if there's amniotic fluid at our next appointment. Even though the chances are very, very small, I still worry.
