1st Trimester is Almost Over!

It feels like almost yesterday that I was jumping out of bed and anxiously running to the bathroom to take test number 9,999 and now here we are in the 13th week!  In just a few more days I will officially be in my 2nd trimester.  I am enjoying every minute of this and in no way want to rush through it, but I am just so excited to find out if the future holds a sweet little boy or darling little girl!  I'm itching to start buying some baby things! :)

After several trips to office supply stores and failed attempts at finding chalkboard paint-friendly chalk, I was finally able to find some Chalkboard Markers on Amazon.  I am SO impressed!  I love them and couldn't wait to get back from the beach yesterday to start decorating my homemade chalkboard with our first Baby Flowe Update.

How far along? 12 Weeks, 2 Days
Total weight gain/loss: 0 lbs.  Last week I was up by +1 but somehow I managed to lose it this weekend between my double helpings of Ice Cream :)
Maternity clothes? Nope, not yet
Stretch marks? Nope.  I'm already applying Burt's Bee's Belly Butter so hopefully stretch marks will be a non-issue!
Sleep: Extremely tired..constantly it seems.  The fact that I have to get up to use the bathroom 2-3 times a night probably isn't helping.
Best moment this week: Sadly, when my boss just walked in and gave me a company Tervis cup.  I LOVE those things!
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything? There was a wine festival at the beach this weekend and it was a little sad not being able to go :(
Movement: Not yet
Food cravings: Eggs and Curry
Anything making you queasy or sick: My vitamins and water...not the best scenario
Have you started to show yet: No and I am so ready!
Gender prediction: Girl, but I would LOVE a Boy too. How about twins, one of each? :)
Labor Signs: No
Belly Button in or out? In
Wedding rings on or off? On
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!
Looking forward to: Our first Ultrasound this Wednesday on my birthday!
