Second Trimester!

I am 14 weeks and 2 days pregnant and officially made it to second trimester!

Since my last post, we have moved from New Jersey to South Carolina, so it has been bit busy! We are finally starting to settle in to our new apartment and it is amazing to have 3 bedrooms and 2 bathroom to spread out in and it's exciting to have a room designated for this baby Seahorse now!

I am behind on my chalkboards, so I will post those first:

At some point, I will attempt "bump" photos along with my chalkboards, but right now, the bump I have is mostly from bloat! I expect it won't be too long for that to change, though!

As we settle into South Carolina living, I have been trying to think of ways to meet people, since I don't know anyone down here and would like to make some friends. I have joined a local moms forum, so I am hoping they have a group activity planned soon, so I can meet some of the local ladies around here. I also bought a Groupon for some pre-natal yoga classes at a yoga studio down the street and the girl at the maternity boutique I checked out the other day, said that there are about 15-20 women that attend that studio's pre-natal yoga classes at each time, so I hope I can make friends there as well! I feel like I'm going to look desperate because I want to be able to socialize with other women at that same stage as me, but I can't just go up to every pregnant woman and ask her if she wants to be my friend!

We are also going to be touring the two hospital options on Sunday, to get a better idea of where I want to deliver, so maybe we will me a few couples during that! I should just get a t-shirt that says "Pregnant and in need of friends!".

As my procrastination from unpacking, I have been researching things for a registry, so I can get an idea of what we need and trying to keep all of that in a budget. I won't be having a baby shower since I don't know anyone here, so we won't even get those little things that you might normally get from friends and family. I have picked out the stroller/car seat system that I want and we have also picked out baby Seahorse's crib (nothing purchased yet!). While we were at Babies R Us this past weekend, looking at these things in person, I went through the clothing section and there was this little set of burp cloths that had seahorses on them! They were sooooo adorable, so J got them for me, to make sure we had them for the baby! I love them! Baby has things of it's own now and that's exciting!

Anyway, I think I have updated everything that I have missed in the last few weeks. I will try to be a little more on top of my chalkboards, especially since there should be a bump included in those, soon enough!
