13 Weeks

Hello second trimester! They say that in the second trimester, pregnancy is the most comfortable, you have the most energy and is also the most fun. During the second trimester you start to show, feel the baby move, and hopefully get to find out the sex. I'm excited for all of that!

I have been feeling a lot better lately. My energy level is definitely up and am feeling a lot more like myself. My symptoms are mostly gone by now. My boobs still feel sore and I spoke too soon about my skin clearing up because my face officially looks like a pepperoni pizza again. Still no belly although I'm still bloated, especially at night. I can feel my uterus with my hand just above my pelvic bone so its only a matter of time before the belly starts showing. The word is officially out at work, so now I'm just enjoying my pregnancy!

Also, if everyone reading this blog could please take a minute to say a prayer for my friend Jackie. She is 11 weeks pregnant with twins and has been hospitalized for a week with high fevers. Please take a moment to pray for a quick recovery for her and her babies. Thank you.

Weekly Update: Your fetus is forming teeth and vocal cords... savor this, their non-functional phase. Baby is approaching normal proportions, with a head now only one third the size of the body. Intestines are in the process of moving from the umbilical cord to baby's tummy. (Much more convenient.)
