It's a peach

Well, I am now 13 weeks and 2 days pregnant, and into my 2nd trimester (finally)! According to my Pregnancy Week by Week book, the baby is now the size of a peach! That little thing is getting bigger by the week. By now he or she can suck his/her thumb in the womb...how cute is that? I am feeling pretty good; my only complaint is that I wake up several times a night with sore hips, but as long as I roll over, it's OK for a while.

I go back to the doctor on Friday; I really hope we can hear the heartbeat. I think I am going to have to start wearing maternity clothes this week or next; I only have two pair of work pants that I can still stand!!

I am starting to get really excited. In March, we should be able to find out the gender. After that, we'll pick out stuff for the nursery and start working on it!

I am still having really weird dreams! Last night I dreamed I was a firefighter and I stopped an entire house from burning...only one corner burned after it started much bigger. The night before I dreamed I was on the SCAD swim team and was the star of the team (that is a dream!). In the past week I have dreamed about eating cake icing, being in labor next door to Nicole Kidman, and driving a bus for a living. Who knows where all this comes from???
