Bye Bye 1st Trimester

It is hard to believe that the 1st trimester is over!!! I have been very fortunate with not having any morning sickness!!! Since I have been back to work, I also find that I don't really need a nap. I don't know if it is because I am so busy, or if I am finally over the hump of being completely exhausted. I am thinking that I might finally be over the hump. Don't get me wrong, by the time 9:00 gets here, I am ready for bed. I actually went to bed at 9:00 last night and was asleep by 9:15-9:30. I sure felt well rested this morning. I hope everything is well with everyone. Fill me in on what is going on in your world!!!

Did you know the babies vocal chords are developed!!!! The little bean can cry!!!!
