August 26, 2008 * 13 weeks 5 days

Wow.... 2 days until the big 14 week mark! 2nd tri-mester.... here we come! I imagine that I'll be putting on some weight this coming week as I'm getting hungrier and hungrier all the time. I'll make up for that 1 pound weight gain in the first 12 weeks.

My belly is getting bigger and bigger.... hard to believe it's a 14 week belly for Zach and I but strangers are still not able to tell that I'm pregnant. I had one woman ask me yesterday after I told her that I was expecting... "What are you... 2 weeks!?" So... that just goes to show that strangers just think I have a beer belly.

I'll post my 14 week belly pictures on Friday afternoon. It seems much bigger from 12 weeks.... but I usually can't tell unless I compare the pictures so I'm anxious to see how the pictures look.

We celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary yesterday! It was wonderful. Zach and I are so happy.... I just wish we had more time to spend together before the baby comes. Unfortunately school is making it impossible for us to get too much time in this semester.

Hopefully, over Christmas break~ we'll have a lot of quality time.

I'm going this afternoon to pick up our bedding for the nursery! I'm so thrilled... it's beautiful. I wish it wasn't quite so expensive but I'm hoping that we'll be able to use it for a while. I'm buying the toddler quilt along with it so that we can use the quilt on the toddler bed. We should get at least 3 or 4 years out of it anyway.....

I started school yesterday.... it's going to be a long & very very busy semester. I have a lot of studying to do, lots of reading, and lots of class time. So- the good news is... I graduate in December and it will all be over! And... the pregnancy will probably move pretty quickly with me being so busy. Although- I don't know if it can move any quicker than it is already!

Can't believe we're going to register for our baby shower in just 8 weeks. That seems ridiculous!

I think we'll be going for another ultrasound this Friday at mom's work. I'm so excited about that.... I can't wait to see our little one bouncing around again.

I'll keep updating.... hope everyone is having a lovely week so far!

Monday September 1st: 14 weeks 4 days

I feel so happy and so fortunate to be pregnant..... and sometimes I get very emotional about it.... particularly when the baby moves. I just get this "this is really happening" feeling. When I imagine what it will be like to hold this precious little on in my arms... the tears just fall and fall.

My husband must think I'm nuts sometimes because I get teary eyed right in the middle of something... and when I feel the baby moving around, I'm completely stopped in my tracks. I'm just in awe of everything. I wish I had more time to just enjoy this pregnancy and enjoy the little one but school is terribly busy.

Last night I was up late doing school work and just as I started to grumble about it, the baby started moving.... he or she is my motivation for working so hard through this semester. It's wonderful to have that little moving reminder now and then that everything is just as it should be and that it's okay that I'm struggling with school. In just 26 more weeks... I'll be a mommy, school will be a thing of the past, and when I do have to go back to work~ I'll be helping the sick.

Happy times are ahead. I'm so excited. And just incase you wondered if I was amazed at how fast time is passing me by.... I am! I can't believe I'll be 15 weeks pregnant in just 3 days. I'm amazed! In just over a month, I'll be half-way through this pregnancy! Why does it all have to move so quickly? I'm really looking forward to having my baby but I just know that I'll miss being pregnant so much.....

Well hubbie and I are going to enjoy a couple of hours together before bed and then it's back to school tomorrow! Wish me luck. I'm hanging in there so far but I have a feeling that the hardest part is yet to come.....

God bless everyone! I hope you're all doing really well and that those of you who are ttc will get those bfps before you know it! I'm saying a prayer today that each and everyone of you will have the desires of your heart. :)

Talk to you girls again soon! ~ Jamie

September 7, 2008: 15 weeks 3 days

Well.... my emotions are on the fritz again. I've lost my mind completely. I've been a crying lunatic for the past hour. My husband left to go golfing.... and it's good that he did because he doesn't have to deal with me.... and I don't have to deal with him being stuck dealing with me. I'm very happy spending a few hours alone today to just freak out by myself.

I'm not quite sure what my problem is.... I'm just very impatient and easily aggrivated. These mood swings are amazing.... I'll be so happy & positive for an entire week and then all of a sudden a bad day creeps up on me out of nowhere and with no warning.

I feel terribly inadequate. I'm exhausted, struggling to get all of my work done today for school, and I'm frustrated because I don't have time to do simple things like the dishes & laundry. Thank goodness I have a wonderful husband who is more than willing to help out and clean up for me because I'm so busy.... but at the same time- it's very aggrivating when it's 3 o'clock in the afternoon & I haven't worked out, I haven't showered, I haven't done a bit of anything for myself really..... I look like a total mess & my husband is stuck cleaning up the house because I'm tied to my school books. My to do list is pretty overwhelming today and what I'd really like to do is take a shower and try to look pretty just for one day of this pregnancy. I feel very frumpy because I very rarely have time to fix my hair the way I used to and I tend to dress down a lot because none of my dressier clothes are fitting anymore. Here lately.... it's jeans and a tee-shirt, which is hardly very sexy if it's an EVERYDAY thing.

I'm very excited about the pregnancy and the baby.... problem is, with school being so busy & overwhelming~ I very rarely have time to think about it and just enjoy where I'm at right now. I'm constantly having to fill my mind with other things.

I only wish that just for a few weeks.... this pregnancy could be a priority and I could relax and read parenting books. Sounds like a dream. Hopefully I will have that just after graduation in the two months before the baby makes his or her grand appearance.

I've been pretty snappy lately and complained about a few silly things to my husband. I think he's beginning to get a little fed up with my being so different than usual and probably wishes that I would move away until the baby is ready to come out. I suppose that's why he's probably out spending the day with friends. He doesn't have to worry about them crying & complaining about his things taking up too much room in the garage. :)

I want to crawl under the covers and forget about all this school work I have to do.... and I think I just might. I'm off to bed for a few hours. I have to have a break or else I'm likely to stress the little one out. A nice nap & a hot shower will surely have me feeling better~ and who knows- maybe I'll actually fix my hair and put some make-up on before I start on that homework again. Wouldn't that be nice..... ?

I don't even know what it's like to feel pretty anymore.... and I certainly don't know what it's like to feel like I have some control over my emotions. Things are a bit crazy in week 15.... I'll be honest. But- hopefully tomorrow will be a new day and I'll feel much better. It seems that the bad days don't ever carry on too long and I'm super grateful for that. :)
