Getting Closer to the End of the Trimester

First of all, thank you to everyone who read our first blog post last week as well as those who left us kind comments/messages/emails!  We really appreciate everyone's support and encouragement!!! 

I don't think we have too much to update everyone on this week...I think my pregnancy is a little backwards :-).  In many of the books I have been reading and websites I have been glancing at, they usually say nausea and morning sickness starts to die off towards the end of the first trimester/early second trimester.  I am going in the opposite direction.  Although I haven't gotten sick again, I have felt more nauseous. I am HOPING that it may have been partially due to another prescription I had to take for 5 days...I have been off it for two days now and today I didn't feel much nausea.  I feel it mainly when I get super hungry (there is no KIND OF hungry...it goes from not hungry one minute to starving 1 minute later!)  Sensitivity to smells is also getting worse.  TJ has taken over permanent trash duty as well as the dishwasher because it, too, smells terrible...I am SO LUCKY to have such a great guy! 

Last week we booked our maternity/newborn pictures, well, tentatively and am very excited about them even though they are months away.  Our photographer is so talented and is a good friend of ours from high school--Missie (Collins) Lafrenz.  She took our wedding pictures and we are thrilled she will be capturing another exciting, memorable time in our lives. 

Another thing I started working on this past week is a pregnancy journal.  But, not an ordinary journal (which I know I also should start...my friend Lexsea has an awesome one that I need to investigate), but one through Shutterfly.  So far, I have obtained 4 different $20 off coupons from Shutterfly that don't expire until next December, so I thought one would be best used to document the pregnancy.  Plus, Shutterfly has a template specifically for pregnancy, which makes creating an album much easier. 

Well, that is all for now! 

 13 weeks, 1 day

Now you can see it better...I LOVE that a belly is forming...I am ready to get HUGE!!! :-)

  2. I was the same way with Tate…fine for the first 12 weeks and miserable until 22 weeks…but then I felt great. My doctors had me take unisom and B6 for my nausea this pregnancy ( I had HORRIBLE nausea) and it did WONDERS! You should ask your doc if they would recommend it :) Just to make TJ feel better, Ryan wasn't allowed to eat red meat, I could smell it on his breath and it drove me NUTS!

  3. Brittany, Paige saw your tummy pictures and wanted to know if you are having a baby :D I had to scroll down and show her the video. Then she wanted to know if was a boy named Warren. And, lastly she said, "I am excited, will we go see it?" I told her absolutely! So excited to watch your tummy grow!!!

    Love,
