12 Weeks

I think I'm turning a corner! This week was a good one. My nausea is alleviating, and I might be starting to get some of my energy back. (Might.) There haven't been a lot of new developments, but:

~eating is getting easier. I can walk into the kitchen and find something to eat with much less trouble, and the mere suggestion of food (such as during commercials and everyday conversation) doesn't make me sick. I haven't even been wearing my trusty arm bands!

~I've been having wacky dreams. These aren't necessarily pregnancy-related dreams, like what I've heard I will have, but are mainly just weird and extremely realistic.

~sleeping on my stomach is officially uncomfortable. Over the past two nights, I've woken up probably a couple of dozen times, laying on my stomach, with the powerful realization that that hurts. I roll over (well, after getting up to use the bathroom) and all is well again....for a little while.

~pressure!

~Scott has been having what I believe to be lots of sympathy symptoms. He's having the weird dreams and craving for sweets, among other things I can't remember right this second. It's sweet.

Second trimester, here I come!

You look super cute!
And is that your writing on the 12 week sign? You have nice writing :)

Paul having his appendix removed less than two weeks before Wesley's birth was the worst thing ever ... lol. He tells everyone that we both "gave birth." Him to a 3 oz-er and me to a near 9 lb-er! HA!
Sympathy symptoms are eerily real and, to the husband, just as hard as "the real thing." :-p

With Judah Paul gained a bunch of weight right along with me! Made me feel better ;)
