I guess it's time to let my bloggy friends know that I've made it past week 13 of this pregnancy. If you are disgruntled at not knowing before now, get on FB more often, and if you're not on FB, get over it. I'm not going to waste my time announcing to everyone that I'm 6 weeks pregnant only to have to remember who I told, then track down everyone when the pregnancy ends spectacularly ugly-like. Btw, I'm in a mood today, sorry. And this was supposed to be such a nice happy post. Sorry again.
Anyways, we hit 13 weeks about Tuesday, which means we'll be out of the first trimester early next week. We also had a visit from our Midwife, who I love, but I'm not sure if we'll keep her since she lives a good 40 minutes away, and it would be silly to pay all that money if she can't even make the birth on time (the last midwife only made it with 11 minutes to spare, and her office was next door to the hospital!). Also since this labor will probably be quite fast (and a host of other reasons too numerous to discuss right now), we are aiming for a home birth, which makes our choice of providers a short list. Point was: we got to hear a heartbeat, in the 150s. I should be past worrying now, right? But for some reason I am still on pins and needles. I can't wait for the quickening, and I have a daily reminder that this baby is alive and well. I imagine I will appreciate those rib jabs much more with this one.
Overall, I am a hormonal roller-coaster. I'm too tired to do much, and I'm lonely. I haven't been to all 3 hours of church in over a month, yet noone has called or come by in weeks, except the Priests to pass the Sacrament. I KNOW I'm supposed to be happy with who I am regardless of what others do or say, but it sure is a blow to the self esteem to feel friendless, especially when this should be a happy time. And now I am feeling all wallowy and will only get worse if I continue to dwell here, so I am going to work on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Let's see if I can beat Angel, who has gotten ahead of me since I've been playing spider solitaire too much)...
A travelogue and a place to vent (for me)

Isn't it funny how you can be surrounded by people (family) and feel left all alone? I am with you there, but hopefully the funk ends as the hormones transition, or at least by the end. CONGRATS!!! This is good news, I'm sure of it.
Congratulations! You are the third friend I've found out is fairly newly pregnant this week!
I'll be praying that all continues to go well.

Congratulations April! Don't worry, I'm not offended for finding out later on the blog, I'm just happy to know! We will be praying for you and your family during this time.
Okay, that's it, next week we have a playdate somewhere! No sulking when you have such a wonderful friend (ME)!! I love you and miss you!
Congratulations, April! I'm very happy for you. I hope you get your energy back soon, it's tough being pregnant. I'm thinking of you and I hope you have some visitors soon. If I were closer, I'd stop by and visit. Hugs!
Hi! Congratulations on this pregnancy! You are the best mom, and such an inspiration to me. Good luck with everything. Your family is beautiful!!
Congrats you guys! Let us know when you're down in san diego! Maybe we can come meet you at the beach sometime?! Miss you guys!
I just got my internet up and running yesterday so I just read your wonderful news. Congrats! Hope the pregnancy goes well and you and the baby are healthy.
I'm glad that everything is still going well with the pregnancy.
Miss you!
Woop! Woop! I am so happy to hear your good news! How are you feeling these days?
April Dear, two things:
1) CONGRATS on the pregnancy!!! You guys are so far ahead of us!
2) I'm sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. It's funny to me that we both live on Houston, but I feel like we live states away from each other. I know you're in Spring and we're right in the galleria area, so about an hour from you.
