12 Weeks...1st Trimester Done, Yippee!!!

We made it through the first trimester! Although it wasn't too bad really, it was worse than with J so I'm glad it's over. I had my checkup today and everything looks perfect! I didn't gain any weight, go me! My blood pressure was perfect and the baby was wiggling around like crazy in there!
When we made the appointment, we didn't know James would have orientation so he wasn't about to go but we did get some pictures and the nurse said we could do another ultrasound next time for him! Crazy! I don't remember getting an ultrasound everytime with J! Anyway, the baby is measuring at 13 weeks and I am supposedly at 12 but hey, I told the doctor a week early would be great since that'll be spring break! The heartbeat slowed significantly from the 160s to the 130s! Cissy claims that to be a boy and the doctor said not to start painting anything but he has suspicions of a boy. At one point he did change his mind to a girl but still suspects a boy. It's still so early and we won't really get a good picture for 8 more weeks so I guess I'll have to wait until then to really know anything.
My nausea and tiredness is all gone and I'm feeling great! I found out they have an awesome rewards program at HEB pharmacy, I paid $5 to join and ALL my prenatal vitamins are now FREE! The doctor said the vitamins they have are really good ones too so yay! My belly seems to have grown a little but I can mainly only tell at night. The weirdest thing about it is my belly button is already starting to poke out!! Since things seems to be stretching at a faster rate, I'm religously lathering on Cocoa Butter...which smells heavenly anyways.
I guess thats really it for now. I did post a 12 week picture of the baby. Enjoy!
