Second Trimester Here I Come!
Yipee!
I'm 13w tomorrow (Monday) and I'm starting to see the light... almost no nausea, peeing less often, not quite so tired (except tonight, I don't know what my problem is), feeling a little less first-trimester-ey. SO happy about that! I also felt definite kicks (strong ones) early this week (I felt them last week at 11.5w but they were much, much lighter). I LOVE this part of pg... I never tire of it or wish it wasn't happening at the time that it is - I always treasure each tumble, kick and flutter.
Well, I lost my job due to the previous postings going ons... the woman I e-mailed was my manager and axed me that Sunday... nice eh? It was fine though really, she was making working there a living nightmare and in the end, I have been having a very happy time with my Sat's and my family. She also said that she didn't do anything wrong and would do it again so we are avoiding that play group and her like the plague. Too bad really as I feel certain I did the right thing and she just wasn't able to see that her tone was not appropriate, but that's alright... the biggest lesson my life has taught me thus far (through difficult church circumstances, etc.) is that there are FEW things I ever regretted saying when they were on my heart, but there have been MANY I have regretted not saying. I would rather be the voice for my young son and reap some negative consequences than let it go. God put me in the position to be his voice and I'm just going to do it. I should have probably waited to talk to her in person but oh well. I'm not sorry I said something, at all.
It has been birth-city around here, I've been to 5 births just since the beginning of Feb. and that is a record for sure! It has been interesting, quite a few babies have had some initial breathing problems, I went to a homebirth-transfer, 4 homebirths and two of those home-waterbirth (that was unintentionally done in her hot tub). They have all been good learning experiences, I've seen some neat placenta-stuff, learned why blood-gasses are done in the hospital and have seen various styles of pushing (which, I find so facinating!). There are still 4 more births planned for Feb. and as it is the 19th today (leaving 9 days left in the month... it'll either be stretching into March, or I am going to be not home at all). On that note, I miss my family. I miss hanging out with them - the quantity time of our relationship all together. I miss my husband, I miss just chilling out. (Oh, baby kicks!)
Anyways, that is a small update from our neck of the woods...

Well everyone does it really different... it's so cool. I don't know if a Mom does it the same each time or not, but so far I haven't seen it the same twice.
Sometimes a Mom gives a push as her ctx starts, pauses a few times, pushes again and then waits for the next one... sometimes a Mom gears up in her ctx and pushes the last 1/2 of it... sometimes a Mom pushes the entire ctx all at once, sometimes with a few breaths between. :)
