YAY for being Pregnant!

It's been a long time and I know most of you who follow this blog are family and you already know our exciting news but for those who aren't WE'RE PREGNANT!!!  Baby number 2 will arrive sometime in March.  According to my calculations the due date is the 12th but according to the doctors ultrasound it's the 18th.  I think I know a little more than they do when it comes to when I had a cycle so  I'm sticking to my due date!

Here's a fun little survey that my SIL's fill out each week and I thought I would continue the trend.

How far along? 13 weeks...almost done with the 1st trimester...thank you LORD!!
Total weight gain/loss: down 1 lb.  I've been sick this time and have had to go to the ER for dehydration...not fun...I have a huge bruise on my left forearm from the IV site.  I was down 4 lbs but they pumped me full of 2 bags of fluid.
How big is baby? about the size of peach
Maternity clothes? Some...because I've lost weight my pants fit again.  Plus I never fully lost all my weight from being pregnant with Nataleigh so my clothes fit pretty good still.
Sleep: Pretty good.  Just wish I could sleep a little longer in the morning instead of getting up with Nataleigh....I have to retrain her to sleep to 7am...I don't do well at 5:30 am.
Best moment this week: almost done with 1st trimester and got to hear the baby's heart beat today....it's music to mommy's ears!
Movement: None yet...a few more weeks till I'll feel anything.
Food cravings: this might be weird but McDonald's Sausage, Egg McMuffin...YUMMY!!  besides that nothing...food doesn't sound that good in general....thank you nausea!
Gender: just a guess....girl.
Labor Signs: NOPE
Belly Button in or out? In
Stretchmarks? No new ones...but I have many from Nataleigh...thank you my dear little girl!
How are you feeling? Pretty much like I could puke at any given moment everyday for the last 6 weeks.  HOPEFULLY....it will get better.  The midwife gave me some tips...I'm going to switch things up a little and I'm praying I will start feeling better.
What I am looking forward to: Going up to Caseville next weekend, meeting my new niece and nephew...both of my SIL's are pregnant.
What I miss: Not feeling good and having enough energy to keep up with Nataleigh.
Weekly Wisdom:
Stay hydrated and eat every 2 hours...small meals are the key...we'll see.
Milestones:On Saturday I start my 2nd trimester that means I'm a third of the way through this pregnancy...how did that happen?  Glad I'm entering it though because that means some exciting things are coming up....finding out the sex, getting more energy, feeling the baby kick, and much much more...looking forward to all of the exciting things soon to come!

I'll add some pictures later of my "bump" if you can call it that.

That's all for now.  Till next time!
