At my ultrasound last week, baby #3 was 13 weeks along and looking healthy and active. He or she was moving around so much the tech had to work extra hard to get measurements. Is this an indication of what to expect later on?

The first trimester is behind me now, thank goodness. So far I’m still exhausted and nauseous, but I expect these symptoms to wane in the coming weeks. Did I mention how T-I-R-E-D I’ve been? By 2pm I just want to crawl into bed in the fetal position, but there are still hours left until Jonathan’s home, then there’s dinner, putting the boys to bed, and by the time we finally hit the hay, I can’t fall asleep! So I toss and turn like a rotisserie chicken until at last sleep comes. But even then I wake up several times in the night, never really getting that sweet REM sleep… and then it’s time to get up and do it all over again. Okay, I’ll stop complaining now. I had it easy the first two times around, I should be thankful. And really, it could be a lot worse. On the up side, I get to spend my days with the two sweetest little boys in the world!

Major cravings: Apples and cheese & crackers
Other notable developments: I swear I can feel the baby moving already!
