Nervous

Well, it's been 2 weeks since our last appointment. And another 3 weeks till the next one. I've been pretty confident about this pregnancy since we hit week 12 but all of a sudden, I'm scared. I'm at that in-betwen stage the doctor told me about. Barely showing, unable to feel the baby move yet, but the symptoms have all but disappeared. It's scary to feel un-pregnant. I know it is normal to feel this way, she WARNED me about it so it sounds like everyone has this worry but it sure is an unsettling feeling. Let the countdown to the appointment begin. Oh! And, this next appointment we get another ultrasound so that should be fun! Mom and Chris will be there for this one. Mom hasn't seen the baby yet in person so I'm super excited about that. Our last ultrasound right before Christmas, Corrie came with Chris and I which was so cool. I missed out on her pregnancies because I was in NYC so it's really special to be able to share this with her. And we got the results of our screenings last Tuesday and all looks great so I'm really not sure why I'm so ancy! Hopefully I'll keep myself busy enough so that I keep my mind off that ticking clock!

2nd Trimester!!

According to my calculations I was done with my 1st trimester at week 12, some places say week 14, so finally by EVERYONE'S count I am in my 2nd trimester!! Woo hoo we made it! I know the risks are still there but they are so much slimmer now I fell totally relaxed and positive about this go 'round. It is true that you start feeling better. Not that I was ever sick (lucky me) but I am much less tired now, able to exist with just 8 hours of sleep and no naps. Unfortunately my sense of smell has drastically increased. I can't handle the smell of the bathroom after someone has brushed their teeth, you know, that hot breath/mint smell. Yuck. And I practically need to sleep in the other room when Chris comes to bed after having ANY alcohol. Even though he brushes and gargles it is just too much for me. Ha! I've started sleeping with a sports bra on as well, they say you get less tender as you go deeper in the second trimester and I can't wait to put this particular symptom behind me.
But all is going great!
Only 6 more months to go!!
