HELLLOOOOO 2nd Trimester...

A little update on me...I am now starting my 15th week of pregnancy and I am safely in my 2nd trimester and so far I have to say, it is treating me MUCH better than the 1st! There are still days of headaches, exhaustion, and slight nausea but I haven't been full on SICK in a little over a week now and the annoying little symptoms I am still experiencing feel awesome compared to where I was, so crossing my fingers, but I'm hoping I'm past the worst of it!!!

This past weekend I went to Orlando for a 3 and a half days girl weekend. My friends from Orlando surprised me by buying me a plane ticket out there to see them for a couple of days and so I worked it out for my mom and ben to share aiden duty while I was gone. It's always fun for me to go back to orlando just cause it brings back all these memories of ben and I being newly married, away from everyone we knew, flat broke, but somehow these are sweet and cherished memories for me. It's where ben and I started out, it's where our first home as a family was, it's where aiden was born. So even though I consider texas home, Orlando will always be special for us.

Anyways we had a fun girls weekend. We went out to fun restaurants and went shopping, we went swimming and watched movies. It was nice to have a mini break but I am definitely glad to be home. I missed my boys sooo much! So here are a grand total of 2 pictures from my trip...my mom would be so disappointed in me. Whenever aiden's not around I completely fall down on my picture taking. These 2 pics were from my 1st night there, I have no pictures of anything else, no group pictures :( Oh well. I'm not big on getting my picture taken right now considering how huge I feel. Just take a look! Not to mention this dress isn't doing me any favors by being empire waisted.

Yep 15 weeks and I'm feeling pretty large and in charge. Plus I'm right on that border line of still being able to squeeze into non maternity clothes and needing maternity clothes. It's a dilemma. I would love to wear maternity pants/ shorts exclusively because they are more comfortable on my growing belly than trying to suck my gut into my pre-pregnancy pants BUT when you wear maternity pants, they come down lower and most of them have a belly band that unless you're also wearing a maternity shirt, the band will show (especially on me because I am long waisted) so it's a catch 22. I'm not really ready for full on maternity wear, I'm not comfortable in non maternity wear. I am just sticking to stretchy pants, skirts, and sweatpants! :)

So that's the update on me, Next I'll update on aiden. Some exciting stuff is about to happen!!!
