A little miracle!

I've been really bad about posting out here. As a surprise to me, pregnancy makes me VERY tired and somewhat worthless in doing extra things. :) I'm starting to feel somewhat better and I guess that puts me right on track, because this starts my 12th week which means I am almost in my 2nd trimester. YAY!!

I went to the doctor last Tuesday and heard the little heartbeat. It was the most amazing thing I've ever heard in my life. Incredible. I still don't really believe there is a little tiny baby inside of me, but the doctor said that yes there certainly is! :)

I've been experiencing all of the typical pregnancy stuff...and a bunch of stuff that no one ever really told me about. I'm looking forward to the holidays and some relaxing time at home.

Things I like right now:
  • Grilled cheese sandwiches
  • Elastic band pants (really wish we had a loose dress code at work because I would never get out of my running pants).
  • Raspberry Crystal Light
  • Anything sweet - chocolate, ice cream, candy, etc. (this is not really new, but just letting you know.)
Things I don't like:
  • Meat of any kind, especially chicken. Ugh just thinking about it makes me want to throw up.
  • Anyone who asks me either 1) was this planned? or 2) is Tim excited? Um seriously people?
  • Women with children who assume that every pregnancy works the same for every person....trust me...every single woman is different and just because you "never had morning sickness" or "didn't show at all until 5 months" doesn't mean that is how it will work for me!

The sickness continues...

I apologize for my lack of posts...it has been a rough last few weeks for me.

I really hate people who tell me they had *no* sickness when they were pregnant. Really? Because I can't stop throwing up. Sorry if you are one of those people, but I really hate you right now. I'm sure in the next few weeks I'll learn to love you again! :)

At least everyone keeps telling me that this means we will have a really good child. I hope so!

We have our next doctors appointment in one week and should be able to hear the heartbeat. I'm so excited!
