I am gaining weight like a hot tamale - so far its all in my belly and my boobs. So far so good, a little bit of Gaggy-ness here and there, and boy they don't kid around when they say your tired in your first trimester - but now that I'm in the second trimester I'm feeling 100%! It's nice! My husband would probably tell you that I have had a couple (and I admit to one or two) "somewhat odd, maybe uncalled for" hormonal moments - especially when it comes to poor Weston and the amount of hair he leaves in my house!! I just don't think I am believer in large inside dogs, and I know that I am not made out to be a large.inside.dog.owner. I have yet to find someone who can keep their home hairless - and whoops besides that rant, lets just say come spring Weston will discover the LOVELY BACKYARD at our house:) However, we have purchased a Roomba and while it wouldn't do the job of SOLE vacuumer at my house, its a nice addition and helps out quite a bit keeping the main floor hair-free!!!
Here is a picture taken at the beginning of my 13th week.
We're pretty excited. Our Fetus-name that we have been referring to the baby as whilst in Utero has been Barry Manelow! It's pretty catchy! Ha ha... and no, Lola is not on the "Baby Name List".
I've been busy still curling, and still commuting the hour and a bit each way to work every day - I'm looking forward to not having to drive next winter:) We have our curling bonspiel this weekend coming up, and then its play-offs for league play. It's funny because usually I am the most competitive person and usually play only to win, but with curling, I really enjoy the social aspect and don't have that drive every week to dominate. Hmm....maybe I am mellowing in my old age! Ha! I need to find a new Tuesday night passtime for next winter though!!
Ty has been working alot...and alot of overtime. Great news for us once it comes time for the baby to arrive - he has tonnes of OT banked, so he'll be able to take off some time and just relax. I know he's hoping to Farm (the guy REALLY loves to drive tractor etc...who would have thought!) this fall again, so between harvest and the baby he'll get a nice break:) Hopefully the baby holds out till the end of harvest:)
We're headed back to Florida in May again for our last family vacation as a duo - crazy! Its nuts to think that we leave in less than 60 days for holidays (yes, I'm counting - its March and winter is still in FULL swing!), and then when we get back, I only have 90 more days until I am off work -CRAZY. When I think of it in that perspective, it feels like I don't have much time at all!!!
The end of this week Barry Manelow will be the size of a:
Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth.
