Our 13th Week

Wednesday, June25th, marks our baby's 13th week that s/he has been in our lives. I'm feeling great too! I'm still tired but not as much as I was and I don't get queasy by smelling foods now. Except for green peppers - I still hate that smell!

July 2 is the beginning of my 2nd trimester which I am very excited about. I have a doctor's appointment on July 3rd and we should be able to hear the heartbeat loud & clear next week.

I hope to make my appointment to see the sex of the baby while I'm at the doctor next week, too. I know it'll be in August but I'm so excited to know one way or the other. And just knowing the date that I can find out will be exciting, too. Hopefully the little booger cooperates & shows off the goods! LOL

Chas (friend of mine from N.Ky) and Jeff (FIL) have a bet on what the sex will be. $20 goes to the winner. Chas is very confidant that it is a girl and Jeff is very confidant that it is a boy. LOL Jason & I just looked at each other & shook our heads.

I had a strange dream that I found out there were 3 babies instead of 1 the other night - That makes me tired just thinking about it! Of course, Jeff was happy about that dream & said that it would be perfect for me. (This coming from a person who only had 1 child!) And I keep dreaming that I can push on my belly and see the form of the baby through my skin - it's weird but comforting since I can "see" the baby in my dreams.

Tyson accidentally jumped on my stomach on Saturday evening which scared me and probably made me have the triplet dream. I kept reassuring myself that the baby is resting safely toward my back and was well protected from Tyson's paw. But, it's still a scary moment when something hits the stomach area. Luckily, it was only one heavy paw instead of his whole 21lb body.

Anyway, overall - I'm feeling great and my weight gain has slowed down for the time being. I'm sure it'll pick back up in the near future. LOL Please keep us in your prayers & thoughts and I'll post after my next Dr. appointment!
