Third one... new rules?

Am I smoking something or something? I mean. I've been pregnant twice before and I always THOUGHT the 2nd trimester started at 13 weeks.

Uhhh... not so says Babycenter.com

I get these email updates every week about my pregnancy. You know, how big the baby is now, what it's doing, how now in my 14th week I should just start showing.. HA! Oh and ALSO how 14 weeks is the start of the 2nd trimester? Como? Whhhaaat? Hold on, hold on. OK so maybe I just assumed with the other two that you know, after 12 weeks, when 3 months is passed that I'm no longer in my 1st trimester. I mean I know I know, 40 weeks, but still... dude. Way to throw a mama off! Did I never notice this before with my girls or did someone all of a sudden decide that 14 weeks is the NEW 2nd trimester?

What the heck. So TODAY I am now in my 2nd trimester. Not last week like I thought. Whatever.

I still feel like barfing so it doesn't matter anyway.

Yay for D!

So proud of my husband. D was officially sworn in last night. He got a nifty little badge that I got to pin on his very expensive Class A jacket. haha. He was so cute. The whole family came. My parents, his parents, siblings, kids and all. It was wonderful.

He was so nervous before the ceremony that I thought he might pee or something. He couldn't find his badges (left them at his station) then he had the wrong hat, got a patch sewn on his jacket that wasn't supposed to be there, but he was such a good sport. Grinned and bared it! The guys in the department are seriously WONDERFUL. They are all so friendly and welcoming, and their wives and families are awesome. It's a perfect fit for D, and us. He absolutley loves it!

It's taken him such a long time to achieve his dream and I could not be happier for him. He's so supportive of everything I want to do, I hope I haven't been too much of a pain in the ass. Being a firefighter's wife is freakin fantastic. He's an incredible guy. I absolutley adore him. I am very proud.
