13 weeks: 2nd trimester

Yeah, I made it through the first trimester so smoothly.  I cannot thank everyone enough for their prayers.  I know that I could not have survived my two jobs and the first trimester without God's grace and your prayers!  Thank you!

Yes, so I'm starting to feel like myself again.  My belly is not feeling as bloated these days, though it is growing.  I am starting to get my salt tooth back again and am not craving fruits and sugar like before.  Pizza always sounds good, but I keep it healthy!

The last few days I struggled with a dull, throbbing headache.  For any of you who get headaches or migraines, I am so sorry.  I could barely function and mine was so mild.  I asked a lot of people to pray and last night at work after drinking a lot of water, they started to dissipate and I have not had a headache today!

So, today I'm 13 weeks and am in my 2nd trimester...whose excited?  ha ha...I'm thrilled!!!  I am also extremely overwhelmed by all the information that is out there.  My friend lent me 7 pregnancy/baby books and we talked to another couple about different ways to raise babies and all the controversial topics that are out there (sleeping through the night, nursing, natural birth, etc.).  I'm just trying to be a sponge and take it all in and hopefully I choose what is best for us and not pass judgment on others and hopefully vice versa, though people are a bit crazy when it comes to parenting.

Overall, I feel happy and am missing family and friends.  Thankfully we have met a lot of people here and our church family is very supportive.  I'm so happy we are in Bloomington!  God does know what He's doing!

This was before work in my scrubs.  They're much more comfortable than jeans!
