Weeks 13-16 : Early Second Trimester

January 20, 2011 - Week 13

My mood swings are: nonexistent (I'm not really a moody person... never have been.)

We've started making plans to set up the nursery. We don't know what we're having yet, but I have chosen a gender-neutral jungle theme. The walls are already painted a kind of yellow-beige color... so the color scheme that goes with jungles will fit perfectly.

I can't wait to pick out furniture and start getting things set up! My mom and dad want to buy the crib and changing table - and it's rumored mom has already picked out the perfect bedding ensemble for the nursery.

January 26, 2011 - Week 14

Only 26 weeks left, it sure seems like time is flying!!

We've begun to get things organized so we can make the house safe for a new baby. We've cleaned the closet in the nursery... and started working on how to rearrange the furniture. The next step is to clean the carpet... but we can't do that until spring finally rears its head so we can open the windows for the carpet to dry more rapidly.

February 3, 2011 - Week 15

Now that the hormones have really kicked in, my hair is: lustrous and full (it seems even moreso than usual.)

No huge changes as of yet. I have felt what I think were the baby's movements, but the midwife said new (first-time) mommies don't usually feel baby so soon. She's such a Negative Nellie... or as John would say, a Sally Cranberry... I hope we don't have to see her much more.

Feeling what I believe is the baby moving around is one of the most exciting and happy feelings! I absolutely love it, and it makes me smile every time it happens.

February 10, 2011 - Week 16

The baby is starting to move a little more. I find it particularly funny as it is trying to find a good spot and I feel the lurch as it flips over. :)
