13 Is finally a Lucky number!

So, not much new to report, other than yesterday marked the beginning of my 13-week point! Praise God! :) Finally...the number 13 is a lucky (or should I say blessed) number! I still get confused though because according to my pregnancy journal and the doctor, I'm entering my 2nd trimester now; however, my baby center email notifications and my What To Expect book still count the 13th week as the last week in the first trimester, so I don't know who's counting is correct. I'd like to look at this week as another milestone and as the start of something new, so I think that's what we're going with.

The nausea has subsided a bit, but I still have plenty of food aversions that are definitely a day-to-day thing. I mean, since when have I been a picky eater? ;0) Ha Ha! I'm also still pretty tired, but even that is starting to get a bit better, probably because I really minimized my social calendar and have been trying to have more "off" days when I can relax instead of running all over town. Everything I read tells me that I'm right on track symptoms wise and baby wise, so that is reassuring to me.

Our next appointment is Wednesday, November 12th for the 15-week appointment. I'll have my first glucose testing done then (YUM-O from what I hear! ;0) ha ha), and I'll also have all of my 14 week blood work done at that time as well. From there on out I should be seen every 4 weeks until I get to the every 2-week visits. So, that being said, we should get to see the baby again via ultrasound at week 19 and find out whether we are having a boy or a girl...I can't wait...that will be the best Christmas present EVER! :)

Gotta run for now...I'll see if Jason can figure out how to load some recent pics soon. Please continue the prayers!

Hope everyone is well! Love and miss you all!
