13 weeks today, and I am over the moon. This is officially the most pregnant I have ever been. With the second trimester only days away and being able to hear Baby Rhody daily on the Doppler, I am feeling pretty darn good.
Physically, I'm feeling great. My main symptom is still exhaustion, which I thought would slow down when I stopped taking the progesterone last week, but no dice. Mr. Rhody finally told me this weekend to stop expecting the exhaustion to go away so I would not have to get disappointed when it didn't. Other than that, I do seem to have a small bump. I need to get Mr. Rhody to take a picture when we gets home. (Edit: I did it!) Between my boobs any my belly, it's getting harder and harder to find shirts that still look decent.
This weekend, I had a bit of a breakdown because I was tired of being tired, prompting Mr. Rhody's comment above. I was upset because it's just starting to hit me all of the things that need to be done before Baby Rhody gets here--things I had been too scared to let myself consider up until recently. In the end, Mr. Rhody and I went out to a nice, relaxing dinner where I stopped worrying about the state of the house and, instead, we brainstormed baby names. It was just wonderful to relax and reconnect with him.
I told my siblings last week, and it is really nice to hear some congratulations. Work is going to find out this coming Friday, and I can't wait! Right now I just want to shout it from the rooftops. We're going to have a baby!!
