The Pretty Portion of Pregnancy

We have made it to week 14 and I am already liking pregnancy a whole lot more. The first trimester= no fun! My appetite is back, and I feel like the baby is hungry, not just me. I was saying to John today, it is the strangest feeling to eat a complete meal and still feel like you've eaten practically nothing. Oddly enough, I've only gained about 6 pounds; you'd never know the way I eat and the size of my belly. I have a new feeling of calm, I've settled into my new pregnant body and new pregnant mind. Being a "high-risk pregnancy" and being emerged in a world of developmental disability and "diagnosis" all day at work, I think I may have been a more worrisome mommy-to-be than most, but I've had three months to analyze all the possible outcomes and I'm ready to enjoy the experience, whatever it holds for us.

I've read that the second trimester is the "honeymoon" of pregnancy, I believe it!

Side-by-Side: week 11 to week 14

The Big Reveal

This week will be the week we let everyone, well almost everyone, know that we're pregnant. I still do not want to go on facebook and announce it to everyone on the planet, but I would like to tell the people that will appreciate our great news. I won't have to make excuses not to go out anymore, I won't have to pretend I'm "sick" and I will not have to lie about why I do not want a glass of wine- I can't wait!

Still do not look too pregnant, and some days I wake up and don't feel too pregnant, but everything seems to be fine. Next doctor's appointment is this Thursday; I will keep everyone posted! :-)
