I'm out of my first trimester and am feeling pretty good.  The exhaustion has went away for the most part.  The best news of all is that I'm off my Crinone and Estrace medicine!  I feel like a "normal" pregnant woman now, only taking my prenatal vitamins each day. 

I had my monthly doctor's appointment on Thursday.  The heartbeat was in the 160's and sounded good.  I gained 5 pounds last month, but I had lost a lot of weight when I had the flu a few months ago, so I'm only up 1.5 pounds overall.  That's a lot less than where I was at this point when I was pregnant with Ainsley!  I think I had gained close to 15 pounds at this point with her.  Check out my 12 1/2 week belly picture with Ainsley.  WOAH!!!

My body is definitely changing.  I'm starting to get a little belly (or bigger belly if I'm bloated, stick it out, or after I eat) and my legs are getting bigger. 

Potatoes have been my go-to food over the last few weeks.  Popeye's mashed potatoes and gravy are the absolute best and I've just happened to be in Springfield a few times to pick some up!  We've also been eating quite a few baked potatoes, which we normally never do, but they just sound so good!

I can't believe I'm even going to type this, but Joel went out last weekend to get me Taco Bell.  We were sitting at the house and nothing sounded good for supper, except Taco Bell.  I thought there was no way that Joel would go get it, but I threw it out there, and the next thing I knew, he was putting on pants and asking me what I wanted!  He's never done that before!  Not even when I was pregnant with Ainsley.  He went into town and got me my bean burritos and nachos and came back home.  He didn't even get anything for himself!  That's true love!  (Or, maybe he was just trying to get out of giving Ainsley her bath for the night, but I'll stick with love.)
