13 weeks

Well depending on who you ask, I am either out of my first trimester, or will be out of as of the end of the week. I only threw up once this week and it was because I had gone too long without food. I have noticed I am getting hungry every few hours and I find myself forgetting to snack before my stomach starts growling. I am pretty sure I will be gaining that pound a week they said starts about now. I just hope that is all I gain. I dread getting large because I am not exactly an avid runner or walker and I can't imagine I will somehow pick up the habit when the baby comes.
I did go for a walk this week, but only managed it once so far. I had an early morning dentist appointment today, which took so long due to all pregnancy related issues that when I got home it was already close to 90 degrees and super humid. This weekend I imagine I will be hiking a lot at my family reunion, so I will get some exercise there, and I plan on getting up quite often during the flights. Maybe when I get back I will have such Rocky Mountain high I will keep walking each and every day for the rest of the pregnancy. (I know, I giggled too.)
I bought a few maternity shirts and shorts for the summer this week. I don't want to get too many things, so I just bought two of each. There are some really cute things out there, but there are some really horrible things too. I found one shirt that was multiple reds, yellows and oranges in this weird pattern but looked like something a clown would wear. I am noticing that most of the maternity shirts are simply longer versions of the empire waist baby dolls that so many girls are wearing these days any ways. It has been nice since I own about four of these shirts already, so I just wear these and put a cami under the ones that show the elastic of my pants. Kind of nice to still be fashionable.
And finally, a picture of the baby bump. (I don't post pictures of myself on here, hence the cropping.)

Hey Carrie,
I see a little bump!
The camera we used for the dance video was actually just a tiny digital camera. It doesn't take long movies at all.
We do own a really nice digital HD video camera though. It is a Canon HDV 1080i. I wish I knew how to use it...
