Baby Update

I just figured I hadn't posted anything in awhile so since I had a minute I would do that.

Lately...and going to be for the rest of my life...the biggest thing on my mind is BABY. Everything is baby. Of course I don't mind that, it is just a huge change in my life and it just gets bigger everyday...literally!

I am now 14 weeks pregnant meaning I am in my second trimester and 1/3 of the way there!! According to the books the baby is about the size of a lemon now. And I'm just wondering how it fits in there! I am starting to show a little bit, but not much. I'm pretty sure the only people that can tell are me and Jake and my close friends. It really just looks like i'm a pig and ate a really big lunch! I love that my belly is actually starting to stick out now. I can't wait until I look really pregnant.

As far as "How are you feeling?" which I get on a regular basis....I'm feeling good. I never get morning sickness (in the morning that is) but I have had a little evening sickness. It really isn't too bad, though. It's mostly just loss of appetite or heartburn. Speaking of heartburn... I really hope this kid has some hair. I really doubt with my genes it will but they say Heartburn=Hair and I've had it from almost day one. I really love that I'm in my second trimester now because I can tell things are starting to get better. I am not as tired and I don't feel like I have to eat every 3 seconds.

In other, non-pregnant news: Jake and I went on a mini vacation last week. We went to Vegas with my friend Courtney and her boy Alec. It was a lot of fun. We all really needed a little get-a-way.

We stayed at Excalibur. (And just for anyone planning a trip to Vegas soon, I'd stay in the Golden Nugget, that's our favorite cuz they are always clean and friendly and it's not crowded. Excalibur was ok but let's just say it's hard to please a girl who does housekeeping for a living.)

Looking out the window of the CocaCola Factory. We took this same picture 3 years ago, right before we got engaged (as in literally, he bought my promise ring just hours after).

At the Cheesecake Factory. And of course this just had to be one of the nights I had no appetite. I got a pizza thinking it would just be something semi-cheap and easy to eat. It was delicious! I ate one slice. I feel really bad about that one but what is a pregnant woman supposed to do?

At the CocaCola Factory we got an "Around the World" which is drinks from all over the world. Let's just say I'm glad I live in America because I only liked about 3 of them. We also got one for floats...but those were actually good because they were things like Coke and ice cream (my favorite!) and orange, cherry, and grape fanta and stuff like that. Nothing too weird.

Courtney's favorite picture from the trip! Haha I know what it looks like but they did not get hooked in Vegas. Courtney was looking for a dice ring (like the one off the movie What Happens in Vegas) and we tried just about everywhere and thought maybe one of the wedding chapels would have one. They didn't :( and we never did find one, sadly.

And of course a sunset picture Jake took on the way home (while driving).
