14 WEEKS - 2ND TRIMESTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!  We have made it to the second trimester!!!!  The trimester that is supposed to be its best!!!  I took it a little far with making things "their best" while pregnant with Brooklyn.  For instance eating a cheesecake or having a milkshake about everyday.  Yikes, I loaded on the pounds.  Not this time!  No way Baby!!!  I am vowing to stay fit and comfortable this pregnancy!!  My goal this holiday season is to be careful, continue to workout and remain steady on my weight gain, if thats even what you want to call it!!!  I'm really liking thus far how i'm losing weight everywhere except gaining a belly!  Which is definitely what i'm doing!  It seems like ever since thanksgiving I have woken up with a bigger belly!  I'm definitely showing faster this time than I did with Brooklyn!  But the good news is since i'm staying healthy, I am not even in maternity jeans yet!  YaaaHooooo!!  This is good news for me, because at this point with B I was already well into the weight gain and the swelling. 

We officially making our news PUBLIC, anyone who didn't already know, now does!!!  And we are more than happy to have you all reading our blog each week!!  Stay tuned for more exciting news about our life and the journey of Jalapeno!!!!

13 Weeks

Whoa, already?  Seems like I was just hoping to get thru this 13th week, and i'm about there!!!!  Finally almost into the second trimester!!  But of course, this is the week where I wake up with morning sickness and nauseau every day...  Blahhhh.  I am feeling so sorry for the girls that experience this in full swing.  Yikes, its irritating, really takes up your day feeling like that.  I have been so lucky to not get sick with either pregnancies and was really hoping to keep it that way.  Now lets just say i'm really looking forward to the second trimester to see if this goes away for good, like its supposed too.

We are currently in Kentucky for the week spending time with Papaw and Mimi and the rest of the family!!!  We will be leaving on the 23rd for Texas!!!  I'm doing a lot better on the road trip this far.  A lot better than I thought i'd do.  Shaun may disagree a bit, but i'm proud. haha. 

12 Weeks.

Not much to report for this Dr. Appointment.  He basically tried to find the baby's heartbeat with a doppler.  Which since the baby is still so small it was found difficult but doable!!!  He was pretty quick to turn off the machine, and of course my hubbs asked him to turn it back on for us and let us hear for a few minutes!!!  Thats all we have to look forward to right now so I was happy Shaun did that :)!  I had a few questions for the doctor, but part of the norm.  Mostly about my running!  To make sure my fitness routine wasn't causing any issues for my growing baby!!  And of course, I have nothing to worry about!  I'm just really happy to have my energy back!!  Running and working out and eating healthy makes such a big difference in my life rather i'm pregnant or not, I can't stand when I allow myself to get off track, even if it is a week or two max at a time.  I love staying on track!!  Needless to say i've not really gained any weight, YAY!!  I've only gained about .2 oz.  haha.  I'll take it!!!!  Like I said before, and i'm trying to get it out there for accountability too!!  I WILL BE HEALTHY THIS PREGNANCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Hope you are all enjoying my posts, they're a little short a sweet for now, but they will get better as the weeks come!!!

Love to All!!
