13 Weeks

Yay! I am officially done with my first trimester! I am so excited for it to be over and to move into my second trimester. They say that this next trimester is the "feel good" one:) I am excited to start feeling the baby move.
Most of my symptoms have ceased even the heartburn. I am on a prescription for it and it took a few days to kick in, but it has helped so much. I do occasionally get slight heartburn still, but nothing like it was before. I have been able to eat more and keep it down a little bit better, which is good.
This week I started to get really nervous about becoming a mom. I am sure that I will have days like that again as I get closer to my due date. I just don't feel like I am a good or nice enough person to become a mom yet. I have this pit in my stomach and it makes me want to throw up because I get so nervous. It is the feeling I used to get when I competed in track. Hopefully I will grow a little more confident by the time baby gets here and just learn to trust myself when the baby is finally here.
I have been told that this next week you should be able to start feeling the baby. My mom said she didn't really feel me until she was about 20 weeks, but mainly because she didn't know what it was supposed to feel like. I have read in my magazines how some women say it feels, so I am prepared, but I am not going to get my hopes up that way I am not disappointed.
I have been pretty active this week between walking with Brooklynn and then the bike ride Matt and I did on Saturday. I am feeling "fat" and I don't want people to see me:) I am hoping my belly starts to pop out here a little bit soon!
