14 weeks!

Excuse the typos... This is coming live from the parking lot at Zoe's while I wait on Brent for our weekly Wednesday night before church meal. I'm finally starting the second trimester. I hope it brings relief. The first has been, well, crappy. I'm so happy to have baby Thomas growing away like a weed but have been So frustrated at the throwing up and feeling sick all the time that or really let it steal most of the joy from these first crucial weeks. I weighed at work today and we are up to 4.5 lbs of weight gain since day 1. That's good, I guess?? I know nothing more than my "what to expect" book and websites tell me. I've decided thy I really want to get the crib in the next month. I think that will help get the ball rolling on all the other things little peanut needs. My next appointment is Monday. We probably won't get an ultrasound so it will be my first non ultrasound appointment. Brent will not be going with me either. I told him he could sit this one out. I did go to market in Atlanta and buy baby his/her first few thins. I'll post on those later. Just wanted to let everyone know that we are still here. Still shell-shocked by the magnitude of destruction that ripped our state apart a week ago but fortunate beyond words that we were not directly impacted. Hope everyone has a good rest of the week. It's chicken salad time, yay.
