Best Moment of the week: This is the last week of my first trimester. I went to the doctor last week and heard the baby's heartbeat, which always makes me smile.

I'm so thankful that this is the last week of my first trimester. When I compare the first trimester with this pregnancy to my other two pregnancies, it doesn't even compare. The only thing that is similar is being tired and the heartburn. I've had no morning sickness or nausea. Taking Vitamin D supplements (required by my doctor) and eating small meals every 2 to 3 hours that include lean protein and complex carbohydrates are the only things that I have done differently. Either way, I'm not going to complain about not having morning sickness. I absolutely hate throwing up.

I'm starting to show. It's still the awkward stage where you don't really look pregnant, but more like you are just gaining weight. I took a picture today. I have included a picture of me at 13 weeks pregnant with Mason. I don't have one from Taylor's pregnancy.
