"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

13 weeks...

Iam really going to try hard this time around to document this pregnancy better then i did the last two times. with kaylin i hardly ever took a picture and with kiptin i was a bit better but still not like i would have liked looking back. so this time i will try harder!


How far along? 13 weeks 1 day
Total weight gain? 3 lbs so far :(
Sleep? not perfect but last night was A LOT better then it has been for weeks now. I wake up to pee in the middle of the night every night and i toss and turn all night cause its never comfortable, but last night i found my pillow wedge and had a much better sleep!
Best moment of the week? TODAY, waking up and feeling good and not sick was awesome for a change. also being able to feel the baby move..and i felt the first little TINY kicks yesterday!
Miss anything? I miss my pre pregnancy body (shallow i know) but i worked hard and now that i have the "bump" i wish i had a little longer to enjoy "my self" cause i was so proud of what i had done finally. I also know though i will get it back but its one of the hard things i faced giving up.
Food cravings? YES. Fruit is a big one. Bread, home made or rolls anything soft and warm. Pumpkin deserts.
Anything make you queasy or sick? Nicks Buffalo lunch meat, apple, pop tarts and orange juice.
Labor signs? No
Gender? we find out in 2 weeks!
Symptoms? Heartburn, burping, itching, nausea.
Happy or Moody? mostly moody is what everyone else would say, i have my moments where i just want to loose it, but when i feel good and im not sick im happy!
Looking forward to...? finding out if we are having a BOY or GIRL...the days cant pass fast enough. also finishing the painting in the nursery.
Realization of the week? I have A LONG WAYS TO GO.
Some interesting tid-bits about my baby body...

*The stretching hurts a lot more this time around.
*I itch to no end
*clothes drive me crazy, any where they are touching me i hate it.
*My belly button is almost an outti now.
*My skin is really sensitive.
*I cant stand my hair down.

good advice!

Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, & next to the heart to be loved.
