Hello Second Trimester : 13 weeks

It is hard to believe I am on to my second trimester!  The first month of this pregnancy went so slow but as time goes on it seems to be going faster and faster!  After having my second doctors appointment earlier this week we were told that we should be able to find out the gender of our little peanut sometime around New Years!  Nick and I are both very excited to find out what baby Gehrts is going to be, as long as he/she is healthy we will be happy with either a boy or a girl.  Once we find out, I'm sure I will be ready to get that nursery going :) 

I think I had my first experience of "pregnancy brain" this week.  After reading all about it, I was still skeptical and didn't believe it would happen to me..yea right!  I had to fill out some insurance paper work before my appointment on Monday so I had called our health insurance to get some questions answered.  The lady asked me to verify my address and phone number so she could be sure it was me that she was talking to.  I quickly drew a blank and had NO IDEA what my address was!!!  I stalled by giving her my phone number hoping it would give my mind a minute to come up with our address.  It finally came to me but once I told her I honestly was not sure if it was even correct!  If this is what is to come the next 7 months, I am in trouble!!!!! 

Other than our appointment this week and hitting 13 weeks, there is not much more to report.  Oh yea, except I am REALLY looking forward to Thanksgiving this year, not just for the warm weather out west but anything involving food these days, is such an excitement! :)
