Our crocuses, snow drops and tulips are starting to come up!  In fact, the crocuses already have beautiful purple blooms.  I'm so excited!  These are the bulbs that we planted.  My first experience with bulbs and they look beautiful.  I have to take some photos and post one here, maybe for Foto Friday.  This makes up for the horrible day I had yesterday.  Yay!
And now I hear my dear daughter making noise in her crib.  I really should get her up.
Bye for now.

And so I started a second tri group.  Check it out here.
I'm still feeling all the 1st tri symptoms, like a bit of nausea, low energy, etc.  And to top off those things, I'm battling a sinus cold, for which I can only take Tylenol.  I'm just starting to pop out of my jeans, I've got an elastic on the button now, unfortunately they fall down a bit now too. 
Well, my dear daughter is looking for attention yet again, so that's all the time I have today. 
Have a great weekend!

I had my second doctor's appointment yesterday, a physical, which is certainly not my favourite thing.  It went okay and she did something really neat for me.  As she was doing an internal, checking my uterus, she let me put my hand on my abdomen and as she pushed it up, I could feel my uterus!  It was so neat, especially since I can't feel it all normally.  So that made the whole physical thing worth while.  She also found the baby's heartbeat very quickly.  It was on the right side this time.
While I was at Mom and Dad's, Mom kept joking that I was having twins because I was so tired and eating a lot.  That made me think again about getting that early ultrasound.  But the doctor only finds one heartbeat, although she's not looking for two.  I don't know, maybe it's too late to get one now since in about 6 weeks I'll be going for the big one.

I lost three pounds.  When I was at my parents' I ate a lot!  This week I've had a couple bad bouts of nausea and so didn't eat like I normally would.  I'm surprised that would have made such a difference.  The doctor suggested I take some Gravol to combat that so that I can eat properly.  I'm also going to start eating a morning and evening snack, even when I'm not hungry.  I think that should help as well.  Now if I can just find some really good snacks that I feel like eating ...

We had a wonderful visit with my parents and sister.  Arianna was so good and so much fun for everyone.  She has changed so much this past week, Chris commented on it this morning.  She talks more, if that's even possible.  She has picked up more words and has even started trying to say her name.  She says "A-nanna".
Chris came home early this morning and went to work about a half hour ago.  It is so nice to have him home.  He had a great time, although we haven't really had time to talk about his whole experience.
Anyway, I need to go.  Arianna is, well, demanding my attention.  I think she's going into attention withdrawal.
It's good to be home and back here.

I'm just writing a quick note to say that we're leaving for my parents house today.  I won't be back until Sunday evening, so may not get on here again until Monday.  Have a great rest of the week, everyone!  I'll miss you all.
Mwah!
