End of First Trimester

OK, First of all there will always be room for family sleepovers...I keep telling Jim we need to put a bed in the nursery. Regardless, there will always be a place for guests.

So it is the end of the first trimester. Yeah! Although I am definitely feeling better than I was, I am still looking for that little switch that you flip and suddenly you have all of your energy back and you don't have to use the bathroom every 20 minutes....it's not happening yet.

All is well. No need for materinity clothes yet. For those of you who have done this before, does that happen all of a sudden? I'm afraid I'll wake up one morning and I'll be wearing sweatpants to work.

Some cravings.... lemonade, orange juice, and protein...beef, chicken or Arby's Roast Beef. : ) Then there is the occasional craving for french fries. Not sure where that one comes from being that they have no nutritional value whatsoever. We try to ignore that one (sometimes).

We have had a little talk with Shadow and Socks and I think they are going to be ok with the additional family member. Although they are already staking territory. Sock will not leave my side when I am home.

That's about all. Next ultrasound is at 20 weeks (in about 6 weeks). More later.
