14 weeks and counting..........

Can you believe it? I am through my first trimester already? It seems like only yesterday that I found out that I was having a baby, and now I only have 2 more trimesters left. Whoah, how time flies! I just think you all should know that I feel fantastic. Energy came out of no where the past few weeks, and now I am feeling just plain ecstatic that I am going to be a mom! The only nasty side effects that I have been getting lately are quite nasty headaches and some wicked HEARTBURN!!!!! Oh dear, the heartburn……but I have to consider myself lucky. I skated by my first trimester without any morning sickness and I think I might have gained ONE whole pound altogether. Not bad, considering some of the women that I have been chatting with on thenest.com have told me that they have already gained 5-10 lbs!!! I have to consider myself blessed ALL OF THE TIME, because that is just how I feel.

Well…..the most exciting news that I can muster up is that at 14 weeks, I swear that I am starting to feel the baby move around. It usually happens when I am sitting at my desk at work or lying on the couch watching TV. It is usually 4-5 little “pulses” in my lower abdomen. It is very noticeable to me and sometimes I catch myself jumping when I feel it, but I LOVE feeling it. It make me feel like everything is going OK and little Baby Thompson is trying to communicate with me (especially when I eat something that he/she doesn’t like for lunch or dinner). I am just loving being pregnant!!!! I know I kind of look like I have a beer belly vs. actually being pregnant, but even my new beer belly is just reassurance that everything is going as planned.

I feel a little anxious every now and then about certain things (especially about getting my house the way that I want it before the baby is born) but all in all, my life seems right where it should be for now.

More to come……………24 weeks til Baby T’s due date!
