First trimester updates

Hello All,

Since I am now in my second trimester, I thought I would do a first trimester wrap-up. So my heartburn and nausea went away (finally), and I got my appetite back. The baby started moving a good amount after week 15. I am now 17 weeks and the baby is around the size of a large onion. Cravings have gotten less specific lately. The picture below was taken at the end of my 1st trimester. I won't be taking week-by-weeks photos. I figure once every month is sufficient to see change. We've been slowly creating room for the baby's nursery in half of Johann's office, which is pretty roomy. We got a crib and dresser set from Johann's parents. I can't wait til we get them put together.

I got a job as a nanny 3 days a week watching our friends' 4 month old baby girl. She is such an easy baby to care for, very happy and cooperative. Johann's glad to have the extra income, and I'm happy to have the baby practice :)

We've been to 3 holiday parties so far this month, and that's on top of two Thanksgivings. It's sure feeling like the holidays (to our stomachs) and we are looking forward to seeing Johann's parents for Christmas. Then, we plan to head to Orlando for the new year, and on to Boston for the Joint Meetings (math conference). Things will finally settle down again after the second week in January, and I will return to work.

Hope everyone is well!
