First Trimester -- Check!

I am out of my first trimester!! Whoo hoo!  We didn't document my belly as much as I would wish..but we will do up this second trimester!

Although, I haven't had the same complications other people have had (and trust me, I know I am blessed).  I am glad to be moving toward holding this precious baby in my arms!


Last doctor's visit:  For my 12 week check up, I had Dr. Alarcon (um, can we say hottie!). I told Chris he better watch out b/c if Dr. Alarcon (aka Carlos, as I call him...or Latin Heat, as Chris calls him) is in my deliver room..I will do whatever that man says!  Anyways, on to the update.  So, my blood pressure was lower that usual. That was great!  I was able to hear the heartbeat -- 150 beats per minute!  Carlos said, "perfect, just perfect"!  I was able to FINALLY stop taking Prometrium (the yucky drug that made me sick).  AND I had lost more weight! (Don't worry, in the past month I have now put on 4 lbs..but I am still 4 lbs less than what I weighed before I got pregnant)!  It was a great visit! 

Side effects: Mostly I have been tired. Sometimes sleeping 10 hours a night.  But, people say to get the sleep now because once the baby comes I won't be sleeping much.  I only get nausea about once a week in the afternoon.  So that is nice!  My main side effect is irritability!  I am grumpy and rude to Chris all the time. I am working on that! :)

We are still working on possible baby names. I can't believe I am a few weeks away from finding out the sex! I think my pregnancy will be more "real" to me once I start showing more and know the sex of the baby.

Pics of me through pregnancy coming soon!!
