Hello there 2nd trimester!

In week 14, and my energy is slowly making a comeback...  Went to the dr yesterday. Got to hear the baby's heartbeat! It's my favorite part of the visit. Found out the pain I feel in my stomach is round ligament syndrome, from the ligaments growing to hold up my growing uterus!  Yesterday, my least favorite part was finding out that my sugar level was so high it had flowed over to my urine... which led to  my finger being pricked... now I have to go back next week and drink the sugar drink. ERR... The doctor didn't seem worried, but Brent and I freaked out when we got home and really thought about it. So we made a run to the Kroger and picked up almonds, apples, cheerios, and whole wheat bread. Brent googled me a diet and I'm going to try it out until I can get back to the doctor next week.

I have lost 6 lbs and put on 1. So I'm down 5, and with me currently being overweight, that's good news!

I'm looking forward to our next 'scheduled' visit. We'll get to do a full sonogram... if we decide to find out the sex we'll get to know that next month. It's so exciting I don't think I'll be able to wait. Brent has decided to find out the sex of the baby (which could change)!

I have to brag on him a little here. He has been so amazing. Brent has been very attentive to my needs, and very compassionate to my aches and pains. He started clearing out our "junk closet" to make room for the baby's stuff, and did all the reseach yesterday about my sugar levels, and he has been doing our crib shopping research!!!!! He's not a sideline Dad at ALL and the baby isn't even here yet. This process has just made me love him more and more. I'm so thankful to have a husband who loves me and prays for me.

Stay tuned for more updates! :)

She's Married!!!!

Well, I have to admit it was one long weekend! The Wedding is OVER! My sister is now Whitney Allen, she is finally stress free, and on her way to Jamaica!!! I did take my camera with me to capture all those sweet memories, but I forgot to take any pictures :( Don't worry I'll steal pictures I like from other bridesmaids! I loved her photographer! If you're in the area and need a photographer for wedding, engagement, maternity, or newborns check out Becka. http://www.bluegenesphotography.com/ or find her on Facebook: Bluegenes Photography! Check those sites for pics from Whit's wedding too!

Our 3rd doctor visit is next week! I'm excited to post about it. We're 13 weeks and counting. Almost one trimester down, 2 to go!

Skittles, anyone? Oh that's just me!

Fall weather has FINALLY reached me way down here in Mississippi! I'm loving it! I'm even more glad that I'll get to spend just about my entire pregnancy out of the reach of 101+ degree temps. Thank you Lord!

Speaking of pregnancy... we get to go to our 3rd doctor visit on the 19th of this month. Our 13th week is approaching Saturday, which is the day before my little sister gets married! A lot of people have been asking me the same questions... so I'll answer them here:

1. Am I sick? Yes, but it is not bad.
2. Cravings... Skittles and strawberry milk.
3. Oh my gosh I'm exhausted!
4. Not sure yet if we're finding out the sex, and no we haven't decided on any names.

Before I forget to mention it... If you get a chance this season check out the Biggest Loser. A guy I graduated from high school with is on the show. Look for Patrick House on the green team! He's a great guy. It's neat having someone from MS on the show!

Look forward to dr updates and Wedding updates (and if I can remember my camera, pictures)!!!!
