13 Weeks

We made it through the first trimester without a glitch! Adam was shocked, but then was all aboard the baby express within no time, book marking pages on his iPad for articles on things I should/shouldn't eat and should/shouldn't do.. (basically if it were up to him I would live on lentils, flaxseed and water... and "burnt to shit meat".. don't think I'm going to be following any of those rules any time soon.) Parents & grandparents were told. Some were super excited at first, while others will take some time to adjust to the new life plans that we have. All in all, Adam & I are thrilled that we made it to the second trimester, but still want to wait a while before we tell people that aren't absolutely necessary.. due to the fact that we still have that preterm labor cloud hovering over our heads.

We went for our first trimester screening this week... but our not so little nugget measured too big to perform the tests! I was supposed to be 13w2d, but nugget was measuring to be 14w4d! over 1/2 in longer than expected! Holy COW! We were also told the sex of the baby.. but have to wait until at least 18 weeks to have it be "definitive". (Sorry.. keeping it a secret until then!) I really need to upgrade this chalkboard.. this tiny one just isn't cutting it.
