Week 13

Hello Peoples!
Lil Newton and I have made it through week 13 :)
Here is what we've been up to.

*Physically*

Baby: So I got my finger prints this week. I worked hard on making them super awesometastic :) Also spent my week doing some laps around mommies tummy.

Mommy: I reached out to several lovely sisters in the the Lord this week to pray about my reluctance to eat. My morning sickness has been by no means severe but because it has been so sporadic I don't know a safe food anymore. Now that we are in the second trimester my food intake needs to increase a bit but the last few weeks have made me pretty terrified of every meal. But I do feel like things are turning around for the better. I was only "sick" once this week and the nausea is slowly being replaced by overwhelming hunger. I actually WANTED something in particular this week. The first trimester was a mad dash to the fridge just to keep the morning sickness at bay but this week I had a desire to eat. And boy was that Proni's spicy Italian sausage sandwich AWESOMETASTIC. It was one of those beautiful moments in life :)

*Emotionally*

Baby: Just chilln 

Mommy: I found myself a bit anxious this week. All the pregnancy symptoms of the first trimester may be annoying but they serve as a daily mental conformation of pregnancy. As those fade and the fact that it's to early to feel the baby move I feel a bit detached from the situation. Lil Newton is minding his/her own business and my hormones are leveling out. I'm starting to feel better...which in turn makes me NOT feel pregnant. *not sure if that makes any since* I wake up in the morning feeling just like I did before we got pregnant which is a little un-nerving. The fact that my baby bump is smaller in the mornings doesn't help the situation lol.  I'm greatly looking forward to the next ultrasound just so I can see how our little one is doing. It feels like it's been forever since I've seen our love muffin : ) 

*Spiritually*

Baby: Chilln

Mommy: The Lord saw fit to make sure that right next to my mommy app my Bible app keeps bringing up scriptures about not worrying. I don't think anything could bring more comfort than that. I've been thanking the Lord for the wonderful out pouring of loving advice and prayers from the many women in my life. Distance has not kept them from constantly sending love our way. I also can't help but thank the Lord for Carlos *who has developed a hand that automatically rubs my stomach when he thinks something is wrong with me* (meaning if I say "Carlos my head hurts." He rubs my stomach as if it will automatically cure my issue). He is a constant blessing and this week of worries and anxiety has been greatly brightened by his craziness.
