Feeling Better!

So I've finally been feeling better :) My appetite is coming back (after being down 14 lbs now) and I can eat usually twice a day a small meal. I am glad this time I don't really have any aversions to food like I did with Tricia. With her it was mostly meats but I'm lucky I don't have that this time!

Ben was gone all week in MI so I'm glad to have him home today. I've been working all weekend on getting our closets cleaned out and specifically  our computer room that will be the new baby's nursery. I think it's coming along pretty well so far. I have a bit more to do but most of the stuff in that room can be moved downstairs now. Although we are doing some new drywall down there right now so we will probably wait until that's done in a few weeks before we move that stuff.

The plan for our basement is to make it in to a big playroom for Tricia. Since I'm going to be home in the winter time on my maternity leave I want to make sure she has plenty of room to play and lots of toys to keep her busy. So we need to pick up a few toys for down there and we are getting a new couch and TV also. I think Tricia will enjoy having the room to run around down there in the winter time.

Today we have some shopping to do at Sams Club and Toys R Us. I have another baby shower coming up for a friend that I am helping with so I have to pick up some stuff for that and we need a few things ourselves. Hoping to just enjoy and spend some quality time with hubby today!

Ohhh and I should mention - my sisters shower was great! I will have to come back and do a post on that!

13 Weeks

How far along: 13 weeks
How big is Baby: Size of a peach
 Maternity Clothes: Still losing some weight (or at least haven't gained any) so nope not yet. I bought some though since mine were mostly summer clothes
Sleep: Getting some sleep at night but still hard  to get comfortable and up a few times a night
Movement: I'm thinking I've felt the baby a few times, not flutters but more of the "rolling" sensation
Food cravings: Still not much, mostly potatoes any way they come
Food aversions: Doing better here, not really anything in particular at any given time. Just here and there things are gross. 
Gender: Unknown but strong feeling it's a girl again
Symptoms: Nausea, boobs, acne
Nursery Progress: None whatsoever!
Best moment this week: Starting to feel slightly better with the nausea that I have been. Hearing the hearbeat on Monday at the doc office
What I am looking forward to: Going back to the doc in a few weeks and my nausea going away (hopefully!)

Doc Appt

So had a doc appt yesterday - everything looks good so far. Took her a minute to find the heartbeat which started to freak me out! But she found it but the baby didn't want to stay for more than a second so we didn't get to hear it for long. I don't remember them having that hard of a time finding Tricia's. I know she moved a lot but they were always able to find it pretty quickly if they lost it. After talking to the doc I get to keep my original due date which was Feb 16th. So only 4 days but I'm sure towards the end of this pregnancy that will be a big difference to me :) Also, I'm down about 12 lbs at this point due to the nausea. Not good but they don't seem concerned. Hoping that fades REAL soon. Now I go back in 4 weeks - the day after my birthday!

We will be announcing the pregnancy in about 2 weeks to everyone. I still haven't told to many people, some close family, a few co workers and maybe 3 friends. The others I wanted to tell I haven't be able to see so I guess they will find out on FB with everyone else.
