Weeks 13-14

Welcome to Second Trimester!! I can say I felt a change and noticed a change in my whole being the past few weeks. I'm willing to do things and I have a lot more energy! That feels good to say. A couple nights I've even been found in the kitchen doing the dishes before I head to bed (the past few months that wasn't really happening).

Here is my 13 week picture. Ignore all the marks on my belly. I felt AWFUL the day we took these pictures so had been laying on the couch right before the picture was taken. Well, the day started out fine- went to church and actually stood the entire time of singing. That hasn't been happening much- I start feeling woozy about halfway through and needed to sit down. But that didn't happen this week. I felt great! Then we got home and I decided that we just HAD to move things around the house, so Jared and I started moving all the furniture around in our living room and then we ended up moving everything around in our bedroom. About halfway through, I couldn't even move without feeling like I was going to be sick. So, Jared kindly had to put everything back in its place. (thanks honey..) But, our rooms look great now!! So, I had to deal a little bit with morning sickness (?) for a day or so. Sunday was terrible- couldn't sit up or stand up without feeling awful (hence the marks on my belly), and then Monday I woke up feeling the same, so I took a sick day on Monday because I just wasn't feeling up for it. It only lasted a few days and I'm back to normal again!

Here is the 14 week picture. My clothes are starting to get a little uncomfortable but I'm doing fine. All things are going great, and we just can't wait for this little one to join our family! We're getting ready! Grandma already gave me a couple burp-rags yesterday and they're waiting in the baby's room! Thanks Grandma!
