End of 1st Trimester!

I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going- this week I am 13 weeks, which means the end of the 1st trimester/beginning of 2nd trimester! Hopefully that also means that the morning sickness will be done soon! Since the "lettuce incident" (see post below) I have done a good job at keeping my emotions in-check. The morning sickness is still pretty bad; I have been on Zofran, an anti-nausea medication, for about 6 weeks now. I swear it is a miracle drug! Even with the Zofran, though, I still have a few bad days. I have found that "morning" sickness actually rings true for me; I am sickest in the morning. I have also found that pregnancy nausea is very counter-intuitive- when I am starting to feel nauseous, it is best if I eat something. Peanut butter toast has become my new best friend! Also, thank the lord for jello and crackers!
I had a few pre-natal appointments since my last post. At my last appointment, they took my weight and we realized that I have actually lost weight since I got pregnant. They told me that this is actually quite common since nausea is so dominant in the first few months of pregnancy. They lovingly reassured me that I will gain it all back, and then some! I will post my first "belly" picture later- although there really isn't much to see. I also still need to post the first ultrasound picture.
