13 weeks

Happy Valentines Day my tiny lovebug!  Today felt like the right day to publicly announce your existence.  We were showered with tons of well wishes and even found out that an old friend is also expecting a baby right around the same time!  So we will have a buddy to go to Mommy and Me with.  :)

We’re also happily in the second trimester!  I’m fairly certain I already feel my energy returning.  Thank goodness!  We have a big weekend ahead of us: attending a wedding in Orlando and also visiting Disney World!  I can hardly wait!

This week I also remembered that I have several pairs of pants and jeans tucked away in my closet that are a size up from my normal pre-pregnancy size.  I can actually button up the waist and sit comfortably!  Amazing!  I look a little sloppy in the leg and butt area because the pants are still too big for me in those spots.  But it saves me from wearing that darn belly band thing at work, so I deal with it.

I’ve been sleeping great, thanks largely in part to the Snoogle pillow that Amanda lent me.  It keeps my dog from crowding me off the bed and kicking me in the back all night.  So that’s a big win.  I forgot to weigh myself this week, but I’m hoping I’m still right at the 3 lb. mark.  13 weeks… 3 lbs.  That’s ok, right?  It probably shouldn’t be as big of a concern to me, but I can’t help it.  I really don’t want the weight gain to get out of control.  I still feel great and baby is doing great!  So that’s what matters most.

So now I’m just counting down the days until Bobby and I find out if this precious blessing is a boy or a girl.  18 days!!!!!!!
