Week 13!

We have fingerprints! Or so babycenter.com weekly update tells me. So it's now 2nd trimester and I am feeling a helluva lot better than I was, even though I didn't vomit once! I was so very lucky! But some folks seem to think because I didn't get sick, it will be a boy... hmm... we will see.

Hormones have been definitely at work though, making some days harder than they need to be. I frequently tire within seconds of being active and other times I cry for pretty much nothing... it does not take much!

Did you know the baby is now making pee? and then drinking it because it goes into the amniotic fluids? The things you never needed to know about yourself right? There are all sorts of interesting things that I never wanted to know.

So I have finally found that sleeping with my teddy bear between my legs is the way to go, I can pee twice a night without it truly interrupting my sleep, I still get up around 0500-0530 which is good for work but not good for the end of the day when I can't keep my eyes open but it works.

Well my brother was in town this past weekend and we did my work, D.C. (Sea and Air museum, cherry blossoms, Japanese Festival, and Blessing of the Fleets at the Navy Memorial. We also went to Baltimore for brunch and people watching this weekend it was nice to see my brother and enjoy a couple spring days.

Ok well as far as pregnancy goes the picture above does not express how I feel though.. I feel so much bigger than that picture looks, but oh well.. guess the picture is not going to lie to me.

Ok, well more updates to come, I am visiting mom next week and can't wait!!
