First Trimester Complete!

I wonder at what point in history people started telling young women that pregnancy lasted nine months. Because that's a bold face lie.  Even before I got pregnant women who were pregnant would tell me that it was really 10 months, but I never believed them; I thought it was their overdramatic pregnancy hormones trying to make me feel sorry for them.  Well didn't that come back to bite me in the butt. So now that I am 12 weeks into this I feel a little bamboozled that I *think* I am one-third of the way done...what about those last four weeks! You're not fooling me!

Nothing much has changed in the last month...I have finally started gaining some weight (never thought I would use "finally" in that sentence and be happy about it) though; I am up 2 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight.  While I haven't gained much weight, as you can tell from the picture below, I am much thicker in the middle than I was in the beginning.  All my regular clothes still fit so I haven't had any freak outs wondering what I will wear to work.  I have had more headaches this past month, but that's about the only difference in the last few weeks.

I am still really tired but pretty much only in the evening. I haven't had any cravings yet, unless you count the fact that I am loving orange gatorade and didn't drink it before, but I don't CRAVE it.  I still can't handle scrambled eggs.  You would have to ask Robert, but I think I have been pretty good about keeping my hormones in check. Although, I did start crying in the car last weekend when we were running errands because I was so hungry and all I wanted was a tortilla and cheese. I am sure he will never let me forget that one.

My next doctor's appointment is this Friday so stay tuned...

The belly is a'comin... (and thankfully summer is too because this girl needs a tan!)
