Cafe' Preggers

I found this in a magazine called babytalk *mom-to-be and I thought it fit me pretty well with how my appetite has been growing now that I am getting into my second trimester. Everyone always tells me how the second trimester is the best and I can definitely say I am loving the energy I have now and how food actually sounds good to me.

WE'RE PREGNANT!!!

We just went to our doctor's appointment and got to hear the heartbeat for the first time-it was AMAZING! We are soooo excited! I have been pretty lucky not being too sick. I was sick for about 4 days right at 6 weeks and then the queasy feeling went away. Of course I still have other things that I went through for the first part of this trimester-
I hiccup a lot when I eat and even when I wake up in the morning. I of course have to eat about every 3-4 hours. At the beginning I didn't really crave anything because I never felt like anything, I just knew that I needed to eat. Smells did kind of get to me there for a bit, opening the fridge and also our soap that we use I ended up having to find a different scent because it bothered me when I would wash my hands. It really helped that Logan can cook though- some things just didn't look too appetizing to fix (raw meat for example :) Anyway we just wanted to share the exciting news with everyone. I'm 12 weeks today and the estimated due date is July 28th. We can't wait!

Sorry no ultrasound yet, just a picture of me in my gown at the doctor's office

Thanks Mom and Dad we are LOVIN our new camera! (:
