13 weeks (and some days)

We are officially in our 2nd trimester! I keep thinking that the first went by so fast, but since we didn't know until 4 weeks, of course the first is going to go by fast!


I really want to take weekly pictures, but I haven't yet. I hope I can get my act together now. I can't believe I'm doing this, but I'm really going to post belly shots with no shirt. I always think it's cute when others do it and you can really see the changes when the belly is bare. I personally think a pregnant belly is one of the most beautiful things ever.


I do plan on posting belly pics here and there on here, but I should warn you that I have stretch marks from when I was pregnant with AJ. I have the cheap Irish skin. They could be much more worse, but they are there. At first I was really depressed about it, but I finally embraced it about a year ago. It's like when a rapper gets shot, he is proud of his bullet hole. I am proud of my 'battle wounds'. I have a beautiful little boy to show for it. Sorry if it offends you, but it doesn't bother me and that is all that matters!


I finally have a small (very small) baby bump! It was pure bloat until now. I think I'm showing way earlier then AJ because I'm smaller this time and it's my second time! It's true what they say, your body remembers being pregnant! Sorry for the poor picture quality, still no replacement lens (working on it though!):




I'm also feeling really great (right now at least)! Except for the pregnancy symptoms that are totally manageable like heartburn, shortness of breath, and tiring easily, it's been great for almost a week. I did have a severe migraine from Christmas Day to last Wednesday, but it went away.


I have now gained back the 4 pounds I lost (not sure how I lost them considering I'm eating so much these days). So now my total comes to 7. My breasts already grew over a cup size, which means shirts are getting shorter on me. I am a ways off from wearing maternity pants (not even wearing a belly band yet), but I might have to switch to long and baggy shirts or I risk showing everyone my belly!


Other then our NT scan on Tuesday, that is it! Thanks for reading!
