The first trimester blew by so fast, yet it was slugging along like nobody's business.
Its already almost over though!
I've enjoyed many not exciting side effects of being pregnant:
nausea
migraines
tender breasts
frequent urination
exhaustion
lower back pain
light-headedness
dizziness
extreme bleeding of my gums
are those stretch marks?
are those stretch marks?
oh.. and did I mention that I ALREADY have a little pregnant bump? No more buttoning up my pants... Going to have to hit up the maternity wear!
Seriously, you name the side effect - I've had it!
It has been a good ride though. Mike has been very helpful in making sure he does some extra chores around the house, gives up his usual spot on the couch, and allowing me to sleep in most mornings. He is right my by side EVERY time I'm headed for the bathroom to ...bond with my toilet bowl.
I'm tellin' ya -- this man that I married is the absolute best!
By the way... Here is a picture of what the baby looks like at 13 weeks!
What a cutie!
I TOTALLY feel your pain - I get it all every time too. Hang in there! It does get better though, and you do have a great man by your side to get you through it. So happy for you guys! :)
ReplyDeleteYou are going to LOVE your second trimester. :) It's positively wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHave you had your first Ultra Sound yet? That first one (we had our first one at 7weeks, check out the blog, it kind of explains a little bit more about why) was so crazy compared to the 16 week and even the 20 week u/s!
I'm so very excited for you and your little family. :) You're going to make an amazing Mom!
