Pregnancy Update

This is week 13 or 14 depending on who you ask (like my doctor).  That's 3 months and 1 or 2 weeks for all you layman. 

I've gained 8 lbs so far and I've had 2 people tell me that I look like I've lost weight, which means it's all repositioning.  No baby bump yet, I just feel fat.  My lower belly is getting bigger and it's pushing down all my jeans.  I can wear my pants unbuttoned but it really only works if I'm wearing a long shirt. 

More nauseated this week than in all my 1st trimester, I don't know why that is.  Dry heaving and gagging more than anything else.  Starting to have trouble breathing.  My midwife tells me that's normal because my body is producing 40% more blood than usual which makes it less oxygen and nutrient rich.  Finally picked a birthing center!  After visiting Bay Area Birthing Center, a midwife and Rite of Passage, I decided on Rite of Passage.  Bernadette Olivier is so great, she's authentic, truly cares about woman and babies and is still very professional.  We feel like it's a very good fit for us. 

I've never been one of those women who go to the bathroom all the time, but now I have to tinkle all the time!  I guess that's good cause I'm supposed to be drinking more water. 

Fatigued and fighting a minor cold but all is well. 

So far, I don't hate being pregnant.  Louis has been great at taking care of me.  Can't agree on a girl's middle name or a boy's name at all!  This baby might be nameless. 

Anywho, for all those who think this is too much information, I'm sorry.  I want to write all this down to document it for my sake.
