Its been a while!

I have to be honest...a lot of my internet time has been spent on a pregnancy website that has message boards. I have been learning a lot on there and its a good place to vent about all thats going on with my body too :) I am DONE with the icky nausea! It started to wane about 3-4 weeks ago and this past week I can say its totally gone now. In fact I have been eating like a piggy! That needs to stop, I need to just be sensible about things or I will become quite the cow. So far I am on schedule with my weight gain. I am only about 1-2 lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight, but I lost 5 lbs in the first trimester. So its safe to say I'm catching up!

The latest developments are that I have popped a little belly (kind of- it gets more noticable with food) and I can feel baby flutters! My first official one was about a week ago. A week before I kind of felt something, but wasn't 100% sure if it was baby or gas. Now its a lot easier to distinguish. I get so happy everytime I feel one, because I feel like our little son or daughter is saying hello to me.

The sex of little babe is still unknown; at our 15 week check up the baby was moving, bouncing, and wiggling around so much that our doctor couldn't get a clear shot! We were so amazed to see how active the baby was.

I had an amazing experience at Target in Gresham today. They had a better maternity section than the Clackamas Target, which meant a nearly untouched clearance rack. I got 2 dresses, a pair of pants (that actually fit) and about 7 shirts for a steal. My clothes are starting to not fit so well...so it will be a releif to wear clothes that aren't too short or tight.
