3 months :)

Well, we have officially entered the second trimester! :) Hooray! Here is the latest picture of our little baby:
We saw the head and limbs, but right when the picture was taken, we got this lovely picture of his or her back. Isn't it precious?! :)

My fave website says the baby is now the size of a lemon! Yum! I've loved those throughout the pregnancy! The site also says:

Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo(thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth.

I am still feeling well. My energy is coming back little by little. I can now last until around 8:30 as opposed to 6:00 like usual. :) My likes and dislikes are still similar... except I really love Mexican food. Not so fond of the heartburn that I've gotten to experience, though. Eric even got to run to Kroger one night around midnight to get me some Tums. He's so sweet. :)

I'm hoping to get back to a normal exercise routine this week. The weather is simply amazing now that all of the rain is gone! It is fall and we are loving it! :) Hopefully, I'll get some belly pictures on here before too long!

Mommy's Likes and Dislikes

So, our appointment yesterday went very well! It was just a check-up, but we did get a quick ultrasound pic that I'll have to scan to put on here sometime... although Baby J. did turn sideways right before Dr. Tom-Tom took the picture so we didn't get a good picture of the head and arms. Camera shy? I sure hope not! :)

I got to thinking last night that I haven't really kept any kind of a Pregnancy Journal, so I've decided to write things on here when I get the time so that I'll have them for later. :)

So far in this pregnancy, these are my likes:
-sleeping
-Blue Bell mint chocolate chip ice cream (in a cone... well, in a cone, in a bowl, off the floor... whatever! :)
-vegetables (but not salad)
-ranch dressing
-soup of any kind
-sleeping
-Nutty Bars :)
-popcorn in a big bag from Kroger
-sleeping
-crackers
-maternity skirts and pants (a true Godsend)
-chocolate malts from Marble Slab :)

Some dislikes:
-not sleeping
-pepperoni
-baked/grilled chicken (crazy!)
-salads (another crazy!)
-the fact that my taste buds sometimes make me not like things that I normally would like

All in all, things are going great! No morning sickness... just exhaustion! I feel a bit queasy sometimes, but crackers and Sprite fix that right away! I know everything will be worth it when this little miracle arrives in about 6 1/2 months!
