12 weeks!

Well, I have hit week 12 in my pregnancy.  The best part about week 12 is knowing I only have 1 week left until the end of my first trimester!  WOO HOO! 

I am surprised by several things right now.  1) just how quickly the past 12 weeks have really gone.  2) how pregnancy is NOTHING like I thought it would be :)  and 3) how my husband is MORE amazing than I thought he was already. 

The past couple weeks have been really rough.  My migraines have only gotten worse and it's made the nausea even worse.  Poor Paul has taken over pretty much everything that I did before the symptoms started.  I can honestly say I have folded 1/2 a load of laundry the past 2 week, we have a brand new vacuum that is apparently amazing... I say apparently b/c I have yet to use it.  He's done all the dishes and makes sure that I come home from work to a nice clean apartment.  I could not ask for a more supporting and loving companion.  How blessed am I?  I know so many husbands out there who would (without being asked) take on most of the household responsibilities.  Thanks babe for all you do!

We have our next Dr. Apt 2 weeks from tomorrow.  I am so anxious to hear the heart beat again!  I believe we will find out the gender at our apt the end of June.  The first ultrasound looked like a little spot.  I am so anxious for the next ultrasound so we can actually see a baby :) My sister is currently 32 weeks pregnant and is STILL throwing up several times a day.... crossing my fingers that is not me!  I would like to point out though that my "baby bump" is bigger at 12 weeks than hers was at 22 weeks, lol.  What in the heck am I going to look like at 22 weeks! 

We bought our crib today!!!!!  It's funny b/c I have really had no desire to buy baby clothes or anything baby related yet.  I think once we find out the gender we will both be on the hung for the "perfect this" and "perfect that".  Although I was going to hold off a few more months to buy a crib, I found a great deal on Amazon.com yesterday and Paul and I both thought it was a deal we could not pass up. 

Our BEST news of this post is that we have settled into our new apartment.  I have pictures on my phone and will try to get those posted sometime this week.  The apartment is wonderful.  We have new furniture for the living room and we have a new kitchen table and chairs.  It's like being on vacation.  Even though almost all of our neighbors have dogs, we never hear them unless we are in the stairwell area.  This apartment was such a blessing.  I am excited to see what our time here holds!

Well all, that's all the news I have to share for today :)  Until next time!
