On to the Second Trimester!

I am now 14 weeks along, and into the second trimester! Despite reports that I would miraculously feel better and be more comfortable as I went into the second trimester....I have not seen this. Well, the morning sickness and heartburn have eased up for sure, but my constant struggle is HEADACHES! All the time, just about everyday. I have followed all the "things to try"....drinking huge quantities of water, cut back on sugar, eat protein regularly, exercise, get sunlight. My Doctor prescribed something to try and help, but it is not so helpful. I see the Doctor again on Tuesday (My Dad's birthday!), so I am hoping for a prescription for a prgnancy massage. Then my insurance will cover it! I also can feel the sciatic nerve thing in my right hip, which I thought was just me having slept funny or something, but my expert preggo sisters informed me what this is! Who knew!

The baby is now the size of a lemon! Getting big! I am definitely seeing a change in my belly, which is a little scary! All the organs are formed in baby French, now he/she needs to do lots of growing and brain building.

I won't know if Baby French is a he/she til the middle/end of July, but there is much speculation! I am told the headaches mean its a boy by some, and mean its a girl by others. Apparently, pretty much everything means its a boy to some, but a girl to others, lol. I am told to ask a 4 year old, because they can just tell. I am told to pee on Drano to find out. I had a dream its a girl, but then am told that really means its a boy. I think I will just wait til the ultrasound.

Ryan and I are all signed up for childbirth prep class in October! We are touring daycares next week, so we can get on a waiting list for next year. I bought a pack n play, it was on-sale and I had a 15% off coupon....I love a good deal! Stay tuned for a baby update after my appointment Tuesday!
