Today I am 13 weeks pregnant. According to the weekly pregnancy update e-mail I received, the baby in my belly is about the size of a medium shrimp (3 inches long and weighing about an ounce). Really? A shrimp? What happened to comparing the baby to nice piece of fruit or a tasty vegetable? Odd.
Anyway, luckily I am starting to feel an end to the nausea. I'm still tired all the time (I definitely look forward to Charlie Jo's naps much more than she does) but I'm hoping that will also wane over the next few weeks. This pregnancy has felt so different than the last one (which some people claim means I am having a boy this time), but Charlie Jo has kept me distracted from my misery with her goofy antics. She's really becoming quite a silly little girl.
We have two long weeks without Joslyne and Zoey to play with, but we're excited that Grandma Jo and my cousin Abbey will be coming for a visit a week from today. After that, Great Granny and Great Grandpa Taylor are scheduled to arrive. Soon after, we will be heading up to Ohio for a sailing weekend for NanaB and Granddad. Whew! We had better rest up!

I'm totally with you in the shrimp comparison . . .let's change it to the size of a dried apricot or something less creepy. WE MISS YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!!
Baby Stringer is a shrimp! That will be the only time we can say that and it's not an insult. Man, I wish a visit to Lisle or a visit from me & Sosi in Franklin was on the agenda.... We are always in need of some Niki & Charlittle time!
