14 weeks and counting!

So I officially made it through my first trimester, although my doctor said I was done with it way back at the start of week 12.  The discrepancies between my baby book, which says things like the trimesters are 14 weeks and that the first 2 weeks of pregnancy are just your period and then the week before you ovulate, and my doc, who says the first tri is 12 weeks and that you're pregnant when you're pregnant--all this is confusing.  I'm trying to just listen to the doc but it's tempting to not let myself have the security of being into the 2nd tri until 14 weeks.  Oh well. 

It's been nice being at home.  I've gotten some sewing done--3 pillows for the couch (although Pablo ate one of them already!) and hopefully a pouf ottoman before Thanksgiving.  I'm also starting to pick things out for the nursery!  I really haven't felt like shopping for anything baby until the last week or so, which has correlated to slooooow-ly feeling better.  The nausea is now pretty fleeting and I don't have it every day.  I still have a pitifully small appetite and crave mostly carbs, but I'm getting better at eating fruit & veg.  Meat is still pretty nasty to me, unless it's in small pieces.  Dan made some chicken for breakfast a couple mornings ago (I know, it's weird) and the smell of it alone made me sick.  Ugh.

Not much else is new...a pretty boring post today.  Can't wait for my next appointment so we can hear the little bee's heart beat again! 

Oh, here's another crib I'm thinking of:

 It's not very eco/non-toxic, I'm afraid, but I'm having a hell of a time finding cribs that are and that don't cost a million dollars.  The few that I've found that are affordable just say stuff like "solid wood with veneers," which means they're still using glue with formaldehyde and other yucky stuff.  The truly green ones are well over $1,000, or I think they're ugly.  What's a mom to do?
