Today is our 12 week mark and the end of the first trimester. This means the end of the nausea and all-around icky feeling according to all of the books, other parents, and even a few people that know nothing about pregnancy. Not personally experiencing the morning sickness, I cannot say for certain, but Missy seems to not have had it as bad as some other people we know. The waves of nausea came and went but nothing like some of the horror stories I have heard.
Missy has started to show, and she looks just as beautiful as ever. I worry about her due to the size I was when I was born. I don't see how a 12lb-9oz thing can fit in there (Mom, I am sorry...). I believe missy was only around 8 or 9 pounds when she was born so hopefully the baby will take after Missy in that respect.
Missy had a check-up a couple of weeks ago. It was just to do some tests and bloodwork, everything came back good-to-go. Our next ultrasound should be somewhere around the 18-20 week mark, in which time we should be able to determine the sex. That has been a question that many people have been asking. We are going to find out if it is a boy. I continue to tell everyone that if it is a girl, I am taking it to Walmart (since they don't require a receipt)...just kidding. In all seriousness though, I will be happy with either.
Well, until next time...
