How far along? 13 weeks
Total weight gain: 5 lbs. (obviously feeling better and able to eat) Although...compared to my first pregnancy..doing MUCH better on weight. 5lbs for the first trimester with this one...15 with my daughter.
Maternity clothes? Same as before....using them for the most part...but still trying to hold on to what is left of my "non-maternity" wardrobe.
Sleep: horrible....which doesn't say anything good about the next 6 months.
Cravings: never got my donuts...but honestly right now..fresh fruit! I can not get enough fresh strawberries.
Best moment this week: Well...this week has definately had it's ups and downs. I have to say I actually have two best moments. One...we finally heard the baby's heartbeat....and I melted. The second doesn't come from the pregnancy...it comes from my 2 year old. I got a random kiss and an "I love you" just for the heck of it. Love that girl!!!
Movement: Sometimes...but nothing consistent.
Gender: I still think it's another girl...but we won't find out until the end of May/beginning of June.
Labor Signs: None!!!
Belly Button in or out? Still very much in although I swear my belly button is getting bigger. Like...I just may be able to fit a nickel in it.
What I miss: My breath. I remember being easily out of breath in the beginning of my pregnancy with Isabella and this one is no different in that regard.
Weekly Wisdom: The ailments that come along with pregnancy can really stink, but the outcome is definately worth it.
Milestones: I made it to the 2nd TRIMESTER!!!!!! Woooo Hooo!!!!
Favorite Moments: When I'm driving to work and I remember that I'm not alone. And when my mom rubs my ever growing belly and says "Hi baby...Gram loves you!"
(no pictures this week...again.....not much of a difference...really. It seems as though I've leveled out for now.)

Healing is In Your Hands...Christy Knockels
Today marks week 12 for me. Yep..officially 3 months and although I have felt significantly better lately...this morning has not been so great. Even though I'm not thru with morning sickness (and am starting to face the fact that I never will be done) I can only think about a wonderful song that I heard a few months back.
I was driving home from work one day when this song played on the radio. During the time, I was in the midst of the worst morning/noon/night sickness. I had NEVER in my entire life been that sick and honestly didn't know if I was going to make it through. This song spoke to me then and has brought me to tears ever since.
Although I was struggling withy my own issues, I know that there are people out there suffering much worse things than me. So to those of you reading...I hope you find some encouragement in this song...no matter where you are in life.
P.S. - I felt the baby kick last night....and for some reason...it made throwing up this morning just a little bit easier.

10 week update
How far along? 10 weeks (well tomorrow)
Total weight gain: Surprisingly nothing. I must have lost a bit of weight being sick because when I had my first appointment on March 1st, I was at my "pre-pregnancy" weight.
Cravings: Donuts from Duck Donuts and sadly...that's in the OBX. That and my grandmother's pizza bread (which I hope my sister will make one day)
Best moment this week: I took Bella to swim classs and on the way out we ran into some people we have not seen for a while. The woman immediately asked if that was a "baby bump." I was very happy to have someone notice that I was pregnant...and not just fat.
Movement: At times I think yes, but I think it's a bit too early for me to feel movement.
Gender: Well....I initially thought boy....but the other day I got a strong feeling it was a girl. We will have to wait and see.
Labor Signs: Thank God NO! That would not be good.
Belly Button in or out? Still very much in.
What I miss: Days without throwing up.

Maternity clothes? In them for the most part. Even though I have not gained any weight, my stomach suggests otherwise. I heard this happened with the second, but didn't think it would happen that fast. I can get away with a few things that are not maternity, but they are not as comfortable at the end of the day.
Sleep: Some nights are good, some nights are bad. Depends on the 2 year old more than the baby in my belly.Cravings: Donuts from Duck Donuts and sadly...that's in the OBX. That and my grandmother's pizza bread (which I hope my sister will make one day)

Weekly Wisdom: Don't be afraid to ask for help.
Milestones: I'm not quite as sick as I was a few weeks ago.
Favorite Moments: When my hubby wants to "hold" the baby at night and simply holds my belly as we lay in bed.
This was taken at 8.5 weeks, but I have not changed much from then.
