Well, week #12 is almost over and tomorrow at week 13, a number of my sources say I'm in the Second Trimester, beginning week #4. I plan to savor and enjoy this time as the nausea has eased, my energy is getting back up pretty good and the baby and I are still very small. Well, the baby is.
More and more I take some clothes out of the rotation as they now longer fit. But, much of my maternity clothes still don't fit. I did invest in a stretchy band from one of the materity clothes stores that has paid for itself by making big maternity pants fit for now. Thank goodness for the advancement of options for women today.
I am not sure if I have felt baby movement yet. In the last few days, I've had more than one occasion that I have felt kind of like a pushing sensation as I know I did when Caleb was much larger and I was further in my pregnancy. I know that the baby is still quite small and yet I've had somewhat a lopsided feeling as though the baby were leaning more to one side of my belly. As many have said, with the second baby, I'm sure to feel things differently since my body has been through this once before.
Caleb is still pretty oblivious to the fact that he is going to be a big brother and that a baby is joining our family. We've tried to mention this from time to time. And he's often been told that he's too big for Mommy to carry since she has a baby in her belly. Guess there's still lots of time for him to adjust to the idea. He's been displaying a streak of independence lately and seems to be starting the "I do it" phase. So, this could be good to give him some more freedoms and responsibilities since he's such a big boy now.
Hope everyone is doing well. Will try to get a new picture up soon! Been meaning to take one but just haven't had a chance.
Talk to you soon.

P.S. The Crispy Spring Roll craving has continued and must be satisfied about once a week. Daddy has been sent at least once for a run to get them but not late at night (they close kind of early).
