12 weeks and Merry Christmas

Zane and I are at 12 weeks and a few days. I can see the end of the first trimester, and I am excited for the second to start to be honest. I can't complain too much because I haven't been "sick", but the nausea and other uncomfortable symptoms won't be missed if I am one of those lucky pregnant gals that starts feeling better in the second trimester. We are looking forward to telling our friends and family in just a few more days. It has been so hard keeping this a secret. It feels like it has been the longest 2 months. I am definitely gaining weight which I am not thrilled about, but I know it is a necessary part of this whole thing.
The pregnancy felt more real when we had our first US right after Thanksgiving. We found out then that we are about 2 weeks further along than we thought. I will try to upload the picture to the blog. Everything seems to be progressing well.  We won't find out if we are having a boy or a girl until the end of January.
I haven't had any strange food cravings really. I do love cottage cheese-- it is always a safe bet for me. Frozen mango has been a good go to as well. I don't really miss alcohol, but I do miss sushi. I am also a little sad that I am not suppose to eat brie cheese this holiday. I have probably been eating a little too well this holiday though, so I can probably go without the brie.

Zane has been such a good husband. I haven't been the most fun person these last few weeks. I am trying to stay active, but a cold front came in and exercising outside does not sound fun. I continue to go to my Xtend barre classes (a mix between ballet and pilates), and I think that has helped. He hasn't complained once about me being a bit whiney and repetitive.
