Easter was a really nice time. I was a little sick (AGAIN!!) I got a sore throat the day that we got there.
We left on Thursday and got there right when Cyd, Scott, Jewel, and Natalie arrived. It was great to see them, since we haven't seen them in a long time. The girls are getting so big and talking so much. It was nice because they could play more on their own and didn't need people quite as much. Which was nice because I wasn't feeling too hot. I was tired from traveling and my throat hurt.
Thursday we just hung out, had pizza for dinner, then went to church.
Friday, I woke up early. Scott went to meet with some counselors from MATC. I went with my parents to stop by their tax place, then drove to my great grandma's house to take a picture with her. But apparently, since she is catholic, she couldn't talk to us until after 3 pm. Apparently, Catholics don't talk from 1-3 on Good Friday. We arrived at 1:30 and since we had a lot of grocery shopping to do, dad wouldn't let us stay till she got up. It stunk. Grocery shopping seemed like it took FOREVER. I was NOT feeling well. My throat was sore, and standing that long was taking its toll. My back hurts and my hips were sore. So I went and sat at the front of the store waiting for them. We went to church that night too.
Saturday Cyd and Scott went up to Oshkosh to visit the outlet mall, and my mom and dad went shopping. I stayed home and hung out with the girls. That afternoon, Cyd, my mom, and I went to Babies R Us and registered for my baby showers. It was fun, and overwhelming. I enjoyed seeing all the new stuff. I can't imagine I'll get near that much stuff...but its fun to look at it all. We went home, had dinner, I watched some tv, then we did some crafting.
Sunday, we went to early church, relaxed for awhile, had Easter dinner, and relaxed some more. The girls did an egg hunt, my mom and scott hung out in the craft room, dad cooked. I set the table and did dishes. I got to wear my new dress and I loved it.
I have some great pictures of my growing belly from that weekend but I forgot to upload them from my grandma's camera before we left this morning.
All the soreness I was feeling last week and the pinching and pulling must have been some major growing pains. I feel like between friday and sunday I really popped out a lot. It made me happy to hear that I was starting to show. I felt a little more pregnant and not so fat.
I can't wait to upload pictures!
AND on WEDNESDAY I AM OFFICIALLY OUT OF THE FIRST TRIMESTER! Week 13 was a little iffy because some websites will say 13 is the end of the first trimester and some say week 14. Well I'll be fourteen so...no matter who you ask, I'm DEFINITELY out of the first trimester! I can't wait till my next appointment! It is officially two weeks from tomorrow!! YAY!
34 weeks!
Your baby now weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Her fat layers — which will help regulate her body temperature once she's born — are filling her out, making her rounder. Her skin is also smoother than ever. Her central nervous system is maturing and her lungs are continuing to mature as well. If you've been nervous about preterm labor, you'll be happy to know that babies born between 34 and 37 weeks who have no other health problems generally do fine. They may need a short stay in the neonatal nursery and may have a few short-term health issues, but in the long run, they usually do as well as full-term babies.
