12 weeks

Totally thought I was done with my first trimester.... 12 weeks, 4 weeks in a month = 3 months = 1 trimester. NOPE. Since pregnancy is 40 weeks. I still have another week. Bummer. The good news is I am starting to feel better. I haven't thrown up in the past 2 days. This is HUGE! I'm still feeling nauseous, so I am taking my meds still just to make sure I don't throw up. I am also trying to drink lots of water since my doctor said I was a little dehydrated last time. The only problem that comes with this, is I have to pee ALL THE TIME! It's really annoying. Like last night we went up to bed and were watching a movie and I swear every 45 minutes I had to pee. I am also still napping at least once a day. I'm so ready to have a renewed sense of energy!!

Anyways, this week the Peanut will be the size of a peach. It is rapidly growing!! Already about 3 inches long. Up until now the baby's intestines have been growing in the umbilical cord. Crazy, right?? Now they are starting to move into their permanent spots inside the baby. The placenta is also growing. It is about an ounce now, but will be 1-2 pounds at the birth. The vocal chords are also developing this week. Let's hope this kid's vocal chords take after mine and not Matt's =)

Matt and I are trying to stay in more to save money and try to get things finally accomplished around the house. So far we still haven't gotten much accomplished, but we're working on it. As soon as we find out what we're having, we are going to do a total overhaul on the nursery. Just 33 days!!
