the first trimester

Well its been over three months since I found out I am pregnant with baby #2. Since then blogging has had to take a backseat to a growing toddler, a tired mama, a blogger image uploader not working, and an increase in work hours. But hopefully I can keep up a little bit more now. Here is a week by week account of my first trimester:
6 weeks:

up 3 lbs This week we told our families. I already look "chubby" especially in my gym clothes but everyone tells me its not noticeable.

7 weeks:

no weight gain:), up 1"

Released the news in the online world. First doctors appointment but too early to hear the heartbeat. Very tired.

8 weeks:

up 0.8 lbs, up 1"

Purged what will be Cohen's room so we can start working on the nursery for baby. Drank lots of water. Worked out 6/7 days. Jason suprised me the A&W Chubby Chicken's:)

9 weeks:

up 1.5 lbs; down .5"

My Birthday:) Exercised every day. Super duper tired. Jason's birthday. Went swimming and ate yummy Mexican. Did I mention I'm tired?

10 weeks:

up 0.4 lbs; no "s

Starting to feel my hips loosen up. Got the flu. So not fun when pregnant and have a toddler at home. Ate taco salad..yum!

11 weeks:

no weight gain; no "s

Celebrated Valentine's Day with my parents (heartshaped pizzas). Unseasonable warm day so took Cohen for a long walk. Second dr's appointment. Got to hear the heartbeat. No better feeling. Cohen lifted up my shirt and said "hi, baby!"

12 weeks:

up 0.4 lbs; up 0.25"

TIRED. Pants are starting to feel tight. Crave watermelon. Drove over 4 hours for a friends wedding. Hips are sore.

a wee bit personal

I woke up this morning feeling slightly sad and lonely. I have a house full of people that love so that shouldn't be a problem..right?

I start to feel overwhelmed with life.
I start re-pondering a lot of the choice that I've made.
Some of those choice have changed my whole life. Without them I wouldn't be who and what I am today. Not that I regret those decisions, but whenever you choose something there's always a sacrifice or something else left behind.

Does anyone else ever get this way?
I need to get out of this funk before its time to face the day...
