12 Weeks!

Finally, the 2nd trimester mark! I'm actually feeling more energized, which I read would happen. The other day I went to my family doctor because I had a cold, yet decided against the antibiotic he had prescribed me. A ton of vitamin C and rest cured it within days! I cried for the first time that day. NOT because of the amazing realization that I'm going to be a mom, but because I peaked at the scale. Being a fitness freak and this being my first child, it was hard to see that number go up! But, I got over it and can't wait to meet my little monster.

Kyle was able to request leave from the Army and come home for 4 days in April. I called my OBGYN to schedule an ultrasound because I will be 19 weeks by then. They got me right in, and we are going to go TOGETHER (finally) to an appointment and find out what the sex will be!

This is the most amazing/strangest feeling I've ever had in my life. On one side, I'm absolutely terrified of what is to come. The other is screaming with excitement and joy. I'm actually going to nurture a beautiful human being that the love of my life and I created. Chandler (my puppy) will be extremely jealous.
