Update

So I am now just barely 13 weeks and it feels like I've put on a FAT belly! It's at that awkward stage where people kinda stare at you and think "is she pregnant or just fat?". So it definitely isn't the best stage to be at. I was told by the doctor to get off my progesterone supplements and I was so scared because that's a really important part of the growing baby. It preserves and maintains the uterus in order for the baby to survive. So when they said it was ok to get off, you've just gotta trust them. But they said the placenta has taken over now so it will all be ok. YES! onto the 2ND trimester!!! So it has been about a week now and i seem to be doing fine. I don't have many cravings at all really. The one thing that I do eat ALOT of though are clementines. (there the little Cuties you get at the grocery store) I hate orange juice, and oranges are o.k. i guess, but clementines, man! I can eat those for every meal it seems like! So other than that 'small' craving, there really isn't anything else that I prefer. So I know it's still early, but I was laying in bed the other night and I had to sneeze so bad. So when I did, it was like 4 times in a row and I have to hold my stomach because it feels like I push EVERYTHING out each time I sneeze. So I was laying on my side when I sneezed, and all the sudden I felt like something was kicking me. It was the weirdest, yet coolest feeling ever! But I'm still not sure if it was the baby or not, cuz I've never really felt a baby kick inside me before! But if it was, it was an awesome feeling. When I told Ben about it, he cuddled up next to me and put his arm around me and his hand on my belly just waiting to see if he/she would do it again, but they didn't. So we will see in a couple weeks if I do start feeling some movement. That is the one thing I can't wait for. So that's all for this week! (and yes tina and amanda, I'll put up some "side profile" pics soon. I promise!!) =D

  2. People say you can't feel the baby kick that early, but I don't agree, because I could feel my baby at 14 weeks, so I'm POSITIVE that what you felt was, in fact, the baby kicking. How exciting!! Congrats to you! It's so much fun being pregnant, isn't it??
