Week 12

This week is going much better.  I am about to start my last week of the first trimester.  Everyone says I will feel so much better in the second trimester.  I am looking forward to having energy.  I am going on four days without getting sick.  That doesn’t mean I haven’t wanted to get sick, but I take this medicine the doctor gave me at night, that’s when it is the worst, and it makes a world of difference.  I have to travel for work in two weeks and I am hoping to be completely over this first trimester illness stuff before going.

I am looking forward to my doctor’s appointment next week.  It will be nice to hear the baby’s heartbeat again.  I guess it is reassurance that there is something inside.  I am not really showing.  So, sometimes it is hard imagine that I am actually pregnant.  I guess if I didn’t have tons of others symptoms I wouldn’t even know.  I saw this cartoon the other day of a woman with her shirt up and she was stick thin the caption said “If you look really, really close, you can see that I’m showing.” Now that about sums things up. 

I have actually been doing more things.  Shopping outside of the internet has been fun.  I think Michael and I have actually decided on our baby’s furniture.  I am going to order it on Friday.  I know it seems early, but it can take 12 weeks for furniture to arrive.  Michael has also decided he wants to paint the room.  I was just going to leave it the light brown color it is, but he wants it to be some color.  I want it to be green or blue.  We will see! Maybe after I share the pictures of the furniture (maybe Friday once it is ordered) then I can start planning room colors.  The room needs to be painted prior to the furniture arriving.  Wow that all seems really real.
