13 weeks

I'm 13 weeks as of Sunday, which means I am officially out of my first trimester and into my second! Hopefully this means I will start to feel better soon. I already have more energy, but it is being counteracted by the horrible cold + hip pains I've been having. Apparently congestion can be a problem during pregnancy, and holy cow, am I experiencing that. It sucks that you can only take so many different meds while pregnant...I could really go with a dose of my Flonase right now!! Honestly, I feel rotten and I hate to complain about it, but it blows. Crossing my fingers that things start to level out soon! I got a prescription for my tension headaches, which have been a nightmare to deal with since I can't have my muscle relaxers or vodka :p

We did have a great appt on Friday, where we got to hear the heartbeat and were told that all my blood work came back ok. I found out my blood type is A+, which is something I never knew. Doctor said my blood pressure was good, and my weight is good..but I don't believe her on the last one. As of today I'm up 11 pounds at week 13...a bit more than I'm supposed to be. I've started keeping track of my calories, not to diet, but just to make sure I don't overeat. It's easy to when I'm this hungry!

My belly is starting to look like a baby bump and less of a bloat, which is pretty cool. Matt is taking such good care of me and the house that it's ridiculous. I've really slacked off on cleaning and cooking, and he has taken over without any complaints. He's an awesome husband. :) I feel guilty about it, but I know I need the rest...
