14 Weeks (2/22/12)

Sorry I did not post anything last week but it was a busy week for us. It also happened to be the beginning of the second trimester! I am so happy to be leaving the first trimester behind. Though the morning sickness isn't completely gone it is so much better. I have actually had the energy to cook and it is safe to say my appetite has come roaring back.

We went down to Florida this past weekend to visit family and attend the beautiful wedding of Drew and Nikole. It was great getting to spend time with friends we haven't seen in a while and celebrate with them. We haven't been home in over 8 months and I was definitely starting to get home sick. Though my energy level is pretty low, it's just nice to be able to hang out with family and just relax. It also reminded us how much we miss Florida and can't wait to be back.

Matt noted that Baby Sheldon has been on an airplane in both trimesters and will also be flying in the third. I don't particularly care for flying and am always paranoid that I will get sick in the so called "box of germs." Now that I am pregnant I am especially wary. One advantage of being pregnant is that Matt lets me have the window seat. Unfortunately Matt did end up getting sick and I am currently avoiding him like the plague. So there is no 14 week picture but I am putting up week 13.

It is official that I can no longer button any of my pants due to a definite pooch. In light of that, I decided it was time to tell work. We also made it Facebook official this week. It feels great that it is out there for everyone to know. The past couple of weeks I feel like I have been hiding it and now I can fully embrace it!
