13 weeks

I'm 13 weeks pregnant now and that means I'm already in my second trimester! I feel like the time is flying by! I am finally starting to look pregnant and not just chubby, which is great.

The fatigue does not seem to want to go away. And with this being the last two weeks of the summer semester and final papers are due as well as regular homework assignments, I find myself falling asleep randomly everyday. Not good! This fatigue is a big pain in my butt and I can't wait till it's gone!

I have noticed I now have that 'pregnancy glow'. I always heard people talk of that 'glow' before, and now I am experiencing it. Although, for me, that 'glow' is oily skin that has a lovely shine to it... I have always had nice skin, never any pimples, ever! And now with this constant oily gloss on my face I have up to three pimples at a time. This is not what I expected when I heard of the 'pregnancy glow'...

So far my cravings have been pretty healthy. Yesterday all I wanted was spinach sauteed in lemon and garlic, it was delicious! I've also been eating a lot of fruit! And have been going through a gallon of milk every couple days.Some pretty healthy cravings so far. I did cave in last week and got McDonalds. Gross, not a good choice when you're pregnant. It was completely unsatisfying.

A new thing I get now are dizzy spells. I apparently have to move like a snail when I get out of bed or out of a chair or else my heart begins to race, I get out of breath, and the room spins. I thought I was going to hit the floor the other day it was so bad.

I feel like I have a lot of complaints when I'm pregnant, between, fatigue, dizziness, peeing, and eating. But honestly, despite all that, I feel really heathly. I try to eat just heathly foods now, I certainly don't drink alcohol, and completely cut out caffine. My body is feeling pretty good since I'm treating it the way it should be treated.

27 weeks to go until the baby! A week and a half until the wedding!
