May 2nd
It's hard to believe that the last week of the first trimester is here! I feel like time is flying! Baby is the size of a jalapeno or clownfish this week! Growing so fast! Baby has fingerprints now and the bones are starting to grow big and strong :D
Baby is the size of Nemo! haha
How's Mama? I'm still a little nauseous and completely exhausted, but I can tell the nausea is starting to lessen more and more. Thank goodness! PHEW! I gained a good chunk of weight this week too. Not sure if that's good or bad? 2 1/2lbs! I'm back at my pre-pregnancy weight now. I also grew 1/2inch in my belly and waist. This week was the first week John noticed my bump. We were in Asheville, walking to get a snack, and John looked over at me and was like oh! You have a bump! lol. It made me happy :D Hopefully, I start to move past that- "Is she fat or preggers? stage soon". My belly has hardened A LOT. It's so neat to see the transition happening. I did have to start using a hairband on my jeans- I guess it's time to start looking for maternity wear!
This weekend was also mother's day! My first :D John was super sweet and took me out for brunch and bought me a pregnancy pillow and the softest stuffed wolf for our baby. He's just the most thoughtful guy.
How's Daddy? I think he's starting to pick up some of my pregnancy symptoms! He doesnt agree, but this weekend he could smell a lot of the same stuff I could- which I dont normally think he could. Time will tell if this is true tho! :D He's also busy with work! But doing a great job of taking care of mama and baby. We went to Asheville this weekend for a trip he had. Even though he had to work, it was still a nice get away for us both! I know John and I will both be glad when his work slows down a little. :D
This week: It was a nice short week in the office for us! We both still worked all week, but Thursday around lunch time we headed up to Asheville for John's job. We stopped for some BBQ on the way and both ate WAY too much. I offered to drive after we ate lunch since he had been up late doing work the night before. We were almost to Asheville and I started getting nauseous. I think it was a mix of eating too much and getting car sick. I made it almost 13 weeks without throwing up in the car! I commute so far each way to work that I figured it would happen but it didnt- until this trip. Luckily, I had doggy bags I could use. Then I pulled over and we were on our way.
Asheville was a little chillier than we anticipated, but still nice. We unloaded the car and I helped John set up his equipment for awhile. Then we headed off to explore and get dinner. We shared some delicious mac and cheese and truffle fries! We called it an early night since John had to be downstairs so early the next morning.
Friday, he was up and at it EARLY. Which was fine, because it allowed me to get up and get some work done early too. After he was finished we went out exploring again. We went and got a yummy lunch and then headed to check out the New Belgium Brewery! It had just opened and it was GOREGOUS! Right on a river. The weather was perfect and it was such a lovely time together. Afterwards, we stopped by Burial and then Funkatorium. Then we went to dinner. Mellowmushroom for the win! haha :D I was pretty picky about my food because I ended up getting too hungry too fast :(. John ended up ordering me an appetizer fast (meatballs!) and while I didnt want them, I ate one and felt SO much better. The pizza was delicious as always and then he ordered me dessert to go :D He didnt realize the dessert I wanted had ice cream, so they brought me a whole thing of ice cream to go on my brownie. haha. whoops!
Saturday, John had to work again in the morning and then we booked it to South Carolina for Kallie's wedding!! We made it just in time to check in at our hotel, meet up with the Kinlaws and ride to the wedding together. It was a beauitful ceremony and a fun reception. I expected nothing less though!
