13 weeks and 0 days today...hello second trimester!! (I think that starts about right now)
How's Baby J?:
well our little sea monkey is growing like a weed! I decided for humor I may mix up my size comparison charts, I found a great guide to for dad's to be..according to these guys our little guy/gal is the size of a gas cap on a car..hahaha. We had a check up this past Thursday 8/8/11 and go to hear our sweet heartbeat and fell in love all over again. Still a fast one with 160bpm. I wouldnt expect anything less from a James baby. If it's anything like it's dad it will do everything fast!!
Hows Mom? :
Hello world! I thought I wouldnt ever feel this good again! So I'm guessing the second trimester has brought me love!! Other than headaches and dealing with allergies (without my good steriod meds) I feel great!!! I knew my energy level was back when I can handle the first few weeks of school and not fall asleep in my cozy reading corner in my classroom during planning or right after school. I won't lie I'm still exhausted at the end of the day but what teacher isn't. Blood pressure has been perfect and no tummy issues really..yet!
Food Situations: If I see something or think of something that sounds good, I'd like to have it, but I wont go to the ends of the earth to get it..at least not yet. Still on the picky side a little. Not really raving about red meat, or grilled chicken still. Haven't really found my pregnancy food yet I guess. I do love some cereal though!
Things to buy: being the over pre-planner that I am, I want to buy it all. NOW! Man it's so hard to wait but for now I'll start stocking up on some winter maternity clothes, and guess what..more bras! (the girls are stupid big)
Belly Button: Still in! :) But stretching a little..
Weight Gain: Well I had gained 3lbs, but lost it all after the week school started back. With my appetite returning a little more, and the lack of geting on the scales the last two weeks, proved that I gained 3lbs back and 2 more and my Dr. visit. So officialy gained 5lbs. (yay) I didn't go over my goal!!!

Favorite Memory of the Week: Getting my first flutters these days and we we went to find the heartbeat, sure enough he found it right where I'm feeling my little flutters...I was wondering if it was just gas, but it's always in the same place and always the same feeling. So that def. confirmed for me it was my little Baby J!
What I'm looking forward to the most: Two weeks from today! We will hopefully know if we are team pink, or team blue!!! woot woot! don't forget to vote on our home page!!
