13 Weeks!

Hurray! I'm 13 weeks along which means I'm about 1/3 of the way through! So far this pregnancy's been a bit difficult but still vastly easier than my pregnancy with Alex. The Lord has truly blessed me! When I got pregnant I was 178 lbs. Now I'm 173.6 lbs! And remember- at this stage of the pregnancy the average weight of the baby, water, blood and other fluids is 3-5 lbs. Pregnancy is the best weight loss plan I've ever had! Also, that was without being able to exercise more than twice a week (some weeks not at all). I should be able to exercise a lot more now that I'm not so sick.

Joseph is doing 100% better. No more wheezing or coughing. Thank goodness! I think it's high time I let everyone know how wonderful Joseph is! He loves his job but he isn't married to it. He always does his best to make time for me and Alex. He is an amazing father! He just has a way with Alex that's magical. Joseph, thank you for who you are and all that you do. I love you tons forever!

I'm glad he's better, and really glad that YOU didn't get sick! Pregnancy is hard enough without getting sick, too! No fair - the pregnancy diet doesn't work for me!! With Lizzy, nursing didn't help me lose any weight afterward, either, so I began this pregnancy 30 pounds heavier than my pregnancy with Lizzy. Bummer. I'll go to weight watchers and hit it hard after this baby is born!

Wow! You made it out of the first trimester! I'm so glad that you are feeling better. I love what you said about your husband, Melissa it is so great that you can see God's hand in everything around you. You are truly blessed and deserve nothing less. Congratulations!
