Pregnancy: Week 12

Finally!

I am officially in the 2nd trimester! This brings such a relief to know that the chance of having a miscarriage drops tremendously.  I wasn't really concerned about miscarrying anyway, but just reaching this goal makes me feel so much better. Not sure if you do this, but I set goals for dates and times especially when pregnant. Every event that passes I feel better and better as my EDD gets closer and closer.

This week has been fun! But I also haven't really been doing anything. The days have been going by so fast and I am thankful that the entire first trimester just flew by! I mean, yes I was sick and tired and couldn't keep much food down, but it went so much faster than the first time. I wonder if this just happens when you have more children. Maybe the kid(s) you have keep you so busy running around in circles, that you don't have anytime to think about your pregnancy? Either way, that's OK with me!

Alright, let's get to the pregnancy update for week 12! WOW! :)

I added a new category.

 Things I'm looking forward to this week?

Today is Ben's birthday! The big 25! Tonight his parents are taking us out to dinner, and I'm going to try and attempt to make him his favorite cake(German Chocolate).

Not something to look forward too, but what just happened yesterday was that Ben passed his test for the electrician apprenticeship program. He gets an automatic interview if he passes. He pretty much knew that he passed, but seeing it on paper, is reassuring. Hopefully he can get hired as an apprentice somewhere so that he can get some school going so that he can do something that he actually enjoys. Prayers are much appreciated at this time. :)

Symptoms?

Not many, cause now I'm actually feeling good and I am finally catching up with the housework. My poor bathrooms have been neglected long enough.

The only one that I can think of is that I'm a little more easily agitated. I'm controlling it, but some days it is hard!

Cravings?

Chocolate. Cereal. PB&J sandwiches. Spaghetti. Fresh salads. Berries. Peanuts.

Maternity?

Pants are starting to be hard to get into. I've been doing the rubber band trick for this week. I have been struggling to find shirts that are loose fitting and not hugging me at the waist. My husbands t-shirts and shorts have been my attire for everyday wear until I go out of the house. I have a few things that look nice, but I want to save those for when I actually see people. :)

I have been doing video logs lately. I want to keep both my blog and videos for myself to look back on one day and see what I went through and remember what pregnancy was like for me. Some women that are in the same week as I am like to compare and talk about their symptoms as well. So I post for them too. :) I cover everything from symptoms and sometimes a belly shot at the end if you're lucky. haha.
I will start including these every week with my blogs.
