TWELVE WEEKS - Pregnancy Update

I would like to say that it has been flying by........ but it has not. The good news is that I am not AS sick as I was before. I am still sick, it just seems to be getting more bearable. My moods are not getting more bearable. I seem to be more irritable. I think Jon and Lysh are ready to kill me. In my defense, they are really annoying people..... lol.

In two weeks I will be in my second trimester. According to my old blog posts, it is right about this week that the sickness goes away completely. I have my fingers crossed. (I was disappointed to learn 2nd trimester does not start til week 14, I was thinking thirteen.)

I am getting thick in the middle. All my shorts fit, but they are tight in the waist. I have noticed a pooch for a while now, and I know it is too soon to be a baby pooch. I was reading one of those pregnancy books in B&N the other day and it said that if you have recently had a baby, and get pregnant again, that your stomach muscles are all stretched out and you will see a pooch sooner. Basically, it is a pooch of fat. Nice......

I am unable to multi task. This was normal for my last one also. What is it about being pregnant that suddenly makes you unable to handle more than one thing at a time.... seriously?

I have been sucking down sweet tea like a mad woman. I cannot seem to get enough! Sugar is soooo good!! I think I am trying to make up for all these years of doing without it. :) Whatever it is, I am in sweet tea heaven!

I go to the doctor this week for a physical exam. :( Joy. Gone are the once a years. Now they have free reign to put you in the stirrups - at will. Let's don't and say we did.

On a positive note, I found lots of maternity clothes at goodwills and thrift stores in GA while I was visiting my favorite Aunt Sara. I got some cute little maternity dresses. This pregnancy I wanna look like those cute preggo girls that wear those cute dresses. I do not care how fat my arms are, I am gonna wear dresses!! I got 4! I also got some very nice jean shorts and tops. For 50$ I got a wardrobe for the next nine months. (Well, assuming I do not get HUGE.)
