Second Trimester!! And ITaly!

So we heard the babies heartbeat for the first time. I am also officially past my first trimester. :-)

I've starting getting a little morning sick. I just can't eat breakfast until 10:00-11:00 otherwise breakfast was a waste of money. Coffee makes me want to gag. I hate even the smell of it now.

I've been pretty emotional lately. I feel like if I watch a sad commercial it makes me wanna cry. As a matter of fact, i miss my old car- my Mazda3- and starting crying over that. I'm forgetting everything lately. I sometimes forget where I'm going, forget to turn in a customers order and I've even forgot appointments i set.

We're finally going on our honeymoon March 19th-March 29th.. .I'm so excited to see where Nathaniel grew up and where he played ball. More importantly i just cant wait to spend time with my hubby and not have to worry about anything except for what we're dong next.
Fetal Development:
Third MonthAs our baby continues to develop, the vocal cords begin to form. The face is looking more and more human each day as the eyes begin to move closer together instead of being on the sides of the head and the ears move to a normal position. It would be possible now to determine the baby's sex by looking at the genitals if we could only get close enough. (We usually can't "guess" via ultrasound until around the 16th week.) The intestines move farther into the baby's body; the liver begins to secrete bile and the pancreas begins to produce insulin. A very busy week indeed!
Maternal Changes:
Welcome to the second trimester! This is the most comfortable and enjoyable stage of pregnancy. Most of the difficult early symptoms are over (or soon will be), and your tummy isn't getting in the way yet. If you're still feeling tired, listen to your body and REST. It's working hard right now!

As your uterus stretches, you may feel some abdominal achiness. The ligaments that hold up your uterus stretch to accommodate your growing uterus. This is called "round ligament pain".
