Today I am 14.3 weeks along in my pregnancy. I also wore maternity jeans (not that i needed to) for the first time yesterday... I thought both these milestones deserved a blog post. :) Pete and I could not be happier to know that God has blessed us with a growing baby. We feel joyful, happy, joyful, and happy!
November 24th is our due date and it could not come quick enough. ALTHOUGH I do love being pregnant; despite a few pesky symptoms. I just feel like smiling ALL the time. For the most part, I have been feeling really well. My worst symptoms has been exhaustion and food adversions. I sleep or feel like sleeping all the time. The smell of asian food or seafood has me running for the back door. It is starting to improve though and I have only thrown up one time the whole first trimester. Pete has been great about making me countless peanutbutter banana protein shakes and has been more than accomodating with my odd food issues. One of my few cravings has been our neighbor dave's barbeque ribs. He made them for me last night..boy oh boy were they tasty! :)
We've started crib shopping, we've tested out strollers, and baby names are a daily discussion. We find out the baby's gender on July 2nd! We are not near as anxious to know the sex as we thought we would be. We both feel happy with either a boy or a girl and more than anything just want a healthy baby!
Thank-you family and friends for your well wishes, your prayers, and your continued prayers as we prepare to become parents. Let the next chapter and the journey begin! :) And cheers to the second trimester or as they say the "golden trimester"!
