Almost There

Wow!! I am already 12 weeks and 4 days. Almost to 2nd Trimester (I think). I have had trouble figuring out when the 2nd trimester starts. Many websites have a difference in opinion. So I am just going to stick with 13 weeks. But not matter what, it is amazing. I absolutely can't wait to feel this little life inside of me kick and have hiccups. I have heard it frequently be described as "freaking you out" when it first happens.. however I am skeptical that those will be my feelings. I am so looking forward to that. I look forward to everything in my pregnancy. I need to work hard not to get a big booty though.. I kinda don't want that. But again, whatever Jesus gives me with this pregnancy I am greatful for.
My food aversions are slowly going away. I have mixed emotions about that. On one hand, now I can eat meat and don't have to worry about if Im getting enough protein. On the other hand, now I can eat almost everything. Now is when self control comes into play. I have pep talks with myself. "MaryBeth, I know that you are hungry ALL THE TIME.. but make wise choices. You can do it. Good job MaryBeth, an apple is a good choice". In reality, I don't really have too hard of a time making good choices because healthy food sounds really good. I continue to love and crave fruit and yogurt. Ooh, and on that note.. yogurt was on sale for 25 cents a container. Wow! What a mega good deal. You better believe that my frugal butt stocked up. Woohoo!! We also might be able to throw cottage cheese into the line up of yummy foods that sound delish. Man, I think I am making myself hungry. That doesn't take much.

In other news.. Beckys bridal shower was yesterday. I must say it was a success. Her cake was really cute. It said "Sweetest wishes for the soon to be Mrs". I think she really liked it. And she got a lot of amazing stuff. She gets married May 28th in the Bahamas. I must say I am a bit jelous. The Bahamas sound pretty amazing right about now.

Well, I must go eat now. I have made a photobucket slideshow of my belly growing. I know it is minimal growth at this point ( I feel as if it is mega growth.. but I see myself naked so...) I will continue to add photos every 2 weeks. Enjoy and don't make fun. :)
