First year of "school" down!

I can not believe my baby has finished her first year of MDO! It flew by! She has come so very far from that first day. She loved it so much and looked forward to it every week. She still says "school school!" when we drive by so I now avoid it because she gets upset. I didn't take the traditional first and last day of school pictures (definitely doing that next year) but I found these to compare.

Goodbye first trimester!

So long first trimester! I am very excited to say goodbye to you though you have not been that bad to me. I started out queasy and tired, then it just became tired and now I am starting to get the pep back in my step. I have just started getting horrible headaches and this is all too familiar. I thought I had started getting them much earlier with Elle so I was thinking I wouldn't get them this time around. But, oh no, they are back. I put in a call to my OBGYN and she got me back on the meds I took with Elle.
I have been showing since 5 weeks! That's right, a whopping 5 weeks. So, I am REALLY showing at 12 weeks and it is a little strange. I feel like I should already be feeling the baby since I am larger than I was with E. I am still trying to squeeze into my jeans with the bella band but think I will be in my maternity jeans soon. I love that I can wear loose dresses all summer! I think Miles is pretty sick of me asking if I seem really big for how far along I am. It is not the weight thing as much as just confusion! But, I have heard from some people they showed immediately with their second pregnancy.
I crave anything and everything...well I take that back. Anything bad for you! I do really well Monday through Thursday and then I am sick of cooking and just want junk. I am craving pasta, seafood, chips and salsa, cheese fries, which I have yet to get. I have got to get some...I crave them a lot! Iced tea with lots of lemon is my drink of choice. I am not a big tea drinker when I am not pregnant so this is odd for me. I make decaf tea at home and have lots of lemons always on hand.
I am so excited to find out what this little baby is! We still have a while to wait but hoping it goes by quickly.
Elle is really into her baby dolls and playing mommy. She talks to them, feeds them, changes them and puts them to bed. She kisses my belly and seems to be excited about the baby. I can not wait to see her with he/she!
