13 Weeks - Second Trimester!

It's finally happened!  I'm out of that horrible first trimester!  Feeling great but I'm still sleeping a lot (like 12 hours last night a lot).  It may have something to do with being away in Sacramento all weekend being a bridesmaid in Jen's wedding.  It was a lovely affair and all went very smoothly.  I never knew standing and looking pretty in front of people was so tiring! I don't have many pictures, but Jake took this cute one of me and Charlotte before the wedding.  Charlotte made those flower bouquets!  More pictures to come when I can get my hands on them.  Jen looked fabulous as well. 

On our way home from Sacramento we stopped at Ikea to look at baby stuff.  We're not sure what to do with a crib - get something between $100-$200 at Ikea that looks okay (and quickly looks worn) or get something $500+ at a nice store (like Land of Nod) that will look great for years and can be converted into a nice toddler bed when the time comes.  I did get a crib duvet cover and baby blankets because they had an adorable vegetable pattern.  It's hard to see in the photo but it has tomatoes, artichokes, carrots and the like wearing pants.  They also had matching swaddling blankets.  The nursery might be veggie themed!  Ikea also had some great fabric for curtains but the pattern went the wrong way for our needs.  I've got awhile to deal with this so I can take my time deciding. 

Not much else to report but I'm working 5 days before I leave for Michigan on June 1st.  I really enjoyed getting out of town last weekend and am really looking forward to getting out of state for awhile.  It's been a long time!  Jake will be insanely busy over the next two weeks because he's hosting an academic conference at our house the first week of June, wrapping up his class and preparing for graduation stuff (friends are graduating). 

I hope to get some belly photos soon because my stomach is popping out a bit.  Especially after I eat!  Until next time...
