12 wks today!!!!

I can't believe it - the 12th week mark has come so quickly to me. I have been doing really good the last few days and feeling much better!! :) I still get tired, but that is even starting to improve. I can actually stay up later now and I don't feel as tired throughout the day while I'm working. :) However, my skin has started itching occasionally, but I'm sure that's because my body is probably starting to change - I can see a little bit of a difference. At my last doctor's appt - I think 1 1/2 wks ago - I hadn't gained any weight at the point, but I can tell that my body is changing in the way it looked. I am so excited about when I'll start showing - to me that is just so exciting AND cute! I love seeing prego mommies and their bumps - each baby bump is so different and unique and even different from pregnancy to pregnancy. :)

1 week from today and we'll be entering into the 2nd Trimester - WOW! I am so excited to go and see my doctor, but that's not for another 3 1/2 wks. I want to know that our baby is still doing good and developing correctly. I hope that at the appt also, we'll be able to find out what the sex of the baby is going to be. We're hoping for a boy, but if it's a girl - that's great too! We'll take whatever God gives us and run with it.

However, whichever sex we have - we will grow it up appreciating the outdoors, animals, etc. I don't want our child to have to have TV, gaming systems, etc. now they will be able to enjoy both activities, I don't want this to be the sole entertainment for them. Les and I talk about how we were as kids and how we were always outdoors playing, fishing, hunting (this one is him), riding bikes (this one is me), etc. - you get the picture of how we grew up!

However, I do want to let everyone know - we will not be telling the names that we choose for the baby until the baby is here. We have decided to let that part of the pregnancy be a secret - we have started narrowing names down, but that's it. We will be referring to the baby as Baby C till the little bundle of joy makes its appearance into the world. I know that this will probably make a few people upset, but this is how we are choosing to keep part of our pregnancy private and just between the 2 of us. Thank you to those in advance who make this easy on us and don't give us any grief over the matter. :)

Well, I'm going to grab a snack to eat - I'm getting hungry - almost lunch time!!!

Hugs to everyone!!
