13 Weeks, Bring on the 2nd Trimester

Sorry I haven't updated in a while...I haven't made time with all the busy-ness and tiredness. We have been to the doctor twice in the last 3 weeks because of bleeding, but the doctor says everything looks okay. Our last appointment was last Tuesday after heavy bleeding for a little over 24 hours. The bleeding started right after sex, so we weren't too alarmed this time and figured that's what caused it. The doctor said there was some bruising near the placenta, so no sex or exercise for me until our next appt on March 9th.
I have still had some nausa and fatigue, some sickness like a cold as well. I definitely am starting to show a little, but I know that I have probably gained some unneccesary weight also, because I'm eating a good bit, still hard to stay full all of the time, but I'm still craving sweets like chocolate very often.
My friend Leah who had a baby last year let me borrow several shirts and pants that I can start wearing now and where until I get a good bit bigger, she lent me 2 baby books as well that have some good information. Our baby is the size of a peach, almost 3 inches and almost 1 ounce. Yesterday Allison (Mackey) Smith had her baby boy, 6lbs, 13oz and healthy w/ red hair. I also found out today that Sabrina, who I was in my graduate school class, is also pregnant. So me, her, and Heather (who was also in our class) are all due w/in weeks of each other. That's pretty cool, but none of us get to go to ABAI in TX this year because we all need to save money.
For our next book club meeting we are reading "The Help", I borrowed Julie's copy.
I took our Husky to the dog park today since it was sunny and not too cold...can't wait for Spring. Right now I have a really stopped up nose, that runs off and on, with an off and on headache as well. Not sure if it's a cold, allergies, or what, but hopefully it will go away soon!
I promise to update more often, so that I can capture these very unique moments in my life. Can't believe I have to wait 6 more months to meet our little one! At least the 2nd trimester is supposed to be the best!
