14 Weeks

I have now officially entered my second trimester!  We had a very quiet New Year's where we stayed home and watched Netflix.  I know this probably sounds boring to most people but it was a perfect night for us and some neighbors were kind enough to light some (probably very illegal) fireworks at midnight that were pretty impressive.  I had a bottle of sparkling cider and J drank creamsicles (whipped vodka with orange juice- it literally tastes like a creamsicle).  The rest of the week has been pretty quiet.  J had to go back to work on the 2nd and I had the whole week off so I got some cleaning done and took care of some projects that I had.  I have really enjoyed the time off and I'm not feeling ready to head back to work on Monday but I'm sure I will be happy once I get there!  We decided to make our facebook announcement about the pregnancy out on New Year's Day since that was when I hit 14 weeks.  It is always nice to get encouraging messages from friends so that was fun!

 I  got a few prenatal workout dvds that I had ordered and so far I really like them.  I like doing cardio at the gym but especially after work it is nice to have an option that I can do at home that I know is safe for the baby.  I was happy to find that both of the dvds were somewhat challenging because I really didn't want something that would treat me like I was going to break.  Pregnancy is not, in my opinion, an excuse to get lazy but I also want to be sure that what I am doing is safe.
