My Ovens Makin' a Bun!

There has been some changes since I last posted! First, I will announce my pregnancy! I am two days away from being 15 weeks along. We found out right before Thanksgiving; my 1st trimester has flown by! I wouldn't say it was "planned" per say, but it wasn't not planned at the same time. So we weren't really surprised, but are very excited! I was a little sick here and there, but from what I hear, I was pretty lucky. My 6th and 7th week, it was all day morning sickness, then it came on at night, which was good cause I was able to work like normal. Although, I never threw up. I had nauseous moments throughout the day, but nothing a few saltines couldn't tackle. I had a bad few days during my twelfth week, but I contribute that to not eating anything but cereal one night for dinner. That was a bad idea; I was down for about three days. It was one of those things where I didn't feel good, so I didn't want to eat and so the vicious cycle began of the baby taking all my nutrients and I was left hangin'- haha! But I learned my lesson.

My next (third) appointment is this Wednesday. I think I could find out the sex at this one, but I don't think I'm scheduled for an ultrasound until my Feb appointment. We do want to find out the sex, for planning purposes. I have a strong feeling it is a boy. I'm feeling back to my normal self (for the most part) so I'm really going to enjoy the second tri. Although, I'm not showing through clothes, I can see a small bump when I am bare-bellied, right under my belly button. We keep saying we are going to take pictures, but keep forgetting...we've got to though! **Update: We took a picture last night and here it is:

I've noticed that I really have to watch the portions that I eat. If I eat a large meal, it is really hard on my stomach and I feel full and bloated for most of the day/night. In addition, I get heartburn. I had heartburn issues before, but now it is definitely magnified. The frequent, small meals they talk about is a good idea because of this. It's just hard cause I don't get hungry enough to have a small meal. I'm sure the hunger is coming though. My "official" due date is July 22. I will continue to keep you updated. :)
