So I am 14 weeks, 4 days- woohoo :) I am somewhat over the tiredness but I am working on other stuff! Since I have decided to move home to Atlanta everything just seems sweeter/easier/less complicated. Although I think its gonna be hard for me once I'm in their house, I know thats its really for the best. I am not gonna look forward to not being able to wear alot of my clothes and driving less, but it will be nice not having to compete in the daily grind of life for a while. I am gonna take a prenatal class and pregnancy yoga. Meet new ppl, etc... Try new things. I hope to go to Graceland when I am home but we will see how much I will want to travel but lots of options are open :)
So I will start feeling the baby move in about 2-3 weeks, thats gonna be a total weirdooo experience. B/c once the bebe starts moving around and I can feel its gonna be like someone kicking inside my stomach for 5 months! But I think it will be totally cool in the beginning :) I might be one of those preggers womyn where when the bebe stretches you can see the footprint of bebe- eek!!
So I am looking forward to that around week 17, then I have a genetic blood test at week 18, then I have my 20 week ultrasound in which I willl find out abt gender of bebe (if bebe is cooperative!).. So for the next 2ish weeks I get to chill and just enjoy!!
Hope everyone is well!

2nd tri
So I am in my 2nd trimester as of yesterday. I am officially 13 weeks, 5 days as of today. Goodbye 1st trimester, goodbye. What did you bring me? Well two weeks worth of waiting, multiple home pregnancy tests, 3 blood beta tests, ultrasounds, semi high blood pressure, multiple doctors visits, a brief trip to the ER, decisions, decisions, decisions and oh yes, a bebe :)
The bebe is somewhere right now btwn 2-3 inches, weighing in at abt an ounce. It took the OB abt 10 seconds yesterday to hear the bebe's heartbeat, which is always a comforting thing to hear. I hope to later on in the pregnancy to rent a stethscope to hear the bebe's heartbeat myself. I am thinking that maybe I might be more leaning to a midwife than an OB... I don't like the medical/clinical aspect of pregnancy. I really want the warm and fuzzy of it all.
What will this trimester bring? Well hopefully alot more growth, I know it has already brought me more emotions (2 crying sessions since Sat nite), more decisions, and hopefully towards the end a chance to relax.
I had been planning this uber mega trip in Dec/January, but I think for my sanity, I need to cut it down by half. So I am thinking the Caribbean and LA... That should still be fun.. I really want to get out to LA again, I haven't been in a while...
So thats it for bebeness right now. I didn't like my OB yesterday, so hopefully for my next appt I will get someone nicer...

12 weeks, 4 days
Well I just did a whole post then my computer shut off, so I am gonna do this rather quickly just in case that happens again. I had blood pressure for about 2 weeks which resulted in me going to the ER the day before Thanksgiving with very high numbers, since then I have 90% eliminated salt from my diet, took on a gigantic reduced workload, had my mother here to take care of me (awww) and I am back to normal now.
I had my 12 week, 4 day sonogram today and all was fab. Saw the bebe's head and stomach and toes and arms. And the baby was bouncy around- sooo cute. The nurse was kinda cold, but I think I am emotionally working around that.
I am most likely going to move back to Atlanta around mid- February until bebe is born then a couple months beyond that. Around the time I move back I will be at the end of my 2nd trimester, beginning of 3rd when I will need the most help physically, etc. I think it makes sense- why should I suffer and deny help especially when I need it most.
It's really interesting b/c I am now having to change my mindset about life. It's really no longer just me. Every decision I make now reflects on my baby. What I ate- how I rest- my living decisions- etc. For the next 18-20 years this is gonna be my new mindset, but I am only slowly/starting to learn that. Its an interesting path- this motherhood one. But G-d willing all will be well!! And I'm preggers!!! I soo can't wait to be out of this trimester then I can really start telling ppl : ) :) :) :)
