13 Weeks!!!

Second Trimester Finally!!! I have been waiting for this moment because I don't seem to worry (as much) as I did my first few weeks! This is a milestone! Time continues to fly by. I have a had a rough start to the week. On Monday night, I went to bed very sick at my stomach. Then Tuesday morning came. I had to get up earlier than usual for an early meeting. I got up out of bed and got ready for work. I was almost ready to leave when I told Nick that I wasn't feeling well. I sat down on the bed hoping it would pass. Nick rubbed my back trying to get me to relax and hoping it would make me feel better, but it did not work. I ran to the bathroom and started dry heaving to the point it was very painful. I was crying of course and was burning up and sweating. Nick went and got our floor fan and plugged it up in the bathroom so it would cool me off. Nick said that he felt so sorry for me, but you know even though I felt horrible, I wouldn't trade it for the world because it will all be worth it in the end. I am just thankful that I have not been really sick like some girls that I know.

Anyway here are my 13 week photos:

I feel like I haven't grown a whole lot in the last week, but every one seems to think otherwise. :) I am sure I have. It is amazing to read about how fast this little one is growing. I read about all the changes that happens each week. It fascinates me. According to what I have read: The baby is already very active at this point (although I cannot feel it yet). I have felt a couple of flutters and I thought that it was all in my head but it has happened more than once so I am beginning to wonder. I also read that the baby has developed some interesting reflexes: touching the eyelid will make the eye muscles close, touching it's palm will make the hand close and tickling the bottom of its foot will make the toes curl. The baby's muscles lengthen and become organized leading to stronger kicks!! I cannot wait to feel that first kick! :) I love reading about all the growing this little one is doing. Isn't God amazing?!?

I hope to take some photo's of the things we have got so far and get those pictures posted. I guess that is all for now. Thank you to all of you that are following us through this amazing journey and thank you for the sweet comments those of you have made. I hope to share this journey with our little one when it gets older and show them how loved they were before they were born.

Love you all.

Nick and Amy
