First Trimester: Not as bad as everyone said. My mom was so sick with me and I was terrified that I was going to be so sick while pregnant. But for the most part, it was the complete opposite. I definitely had my moments. Mornings were a little harder at the beginning but never bad enough that I threw up all the time. I was definitely nauseas when I didn't eat. I learned very quickly not to let myself go very long without food or I would be miserable. I did throw up a couple times but nothing crazy. Everytime I went to the doctor, I lost more and more weight. Which was strange because I wasn't as sick as my best friend (who was constantly throwing up) but I was definitely losing weight.
Tired. Tired. Tired. Holy moly. I had absolutely NO energy to do anything. All I wanted to do was sleep. And that's what I did.
Second Trimester: So far, fabulous! 'Morning Sickness' is totally gone. and food has never tasted so good! I haven't had any weird cravings other than I need a Diet Coke every day. The only thing that sucks are the headaches. I get them bad. Thank goodness for Diet Coke because Tylenol does nothing for me. My energy has come back! In fact, I always get random energy where all I want to do is clean the house, or cook a yummy dinner, or run a million errands which is SO not like me! My husband isn't complaining one bit tho ;)
Bumpdate:
Gender: Girl
How far along are you?: 22 weeks
She is starting to look like a miniature newborn. Her lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and tiny tooth buds are developing beneath the gums. 11 inches and almost 1 pound.
Size of the baby: Spaghetti Squash
Movement?: Yes! I feel her atleast a couple times a day.
Cravings?: Not really. At the beginning all I wanted was Zupas and steak. But I always need a diet coke. Pizza is really yummy too ;) But I wouldn't say I have strong cravings.
Best moment this week: Feeling her move more and more!!
Daddy update: He is getting so excited about his little girl. I catch him staring at little girls all the time with the biggest smile on his face.
Recent Doctors Appointment: I am so lucky that Shawn has been to all but ONE doctors appointment so far! This last doctors appointment was the 'big' one! The ultrasound tech did it and this was the ultra sound where she measured everything to make sure she was progressing correctly. And she is absolutely perfect! Right on schedule. And moving soooo much!! It's fun to watch her move while we are having an ultra sound!
What I'm looking forward to: Halloween and the holidays with her next year! Also, snuggling her while watching Netflix. Because right now I am currently watching Netflix and can't wait to be snuggling her on the couch.
Misc: We are getting the nursery together! We have a rocking chair, a dresser, and a nightstand! Lots of whites and neutrals with a touch of light pink everywhere. I'm a very simple girl but love Shabby Chic so that's what is happening right now. We just brought home our stroller and car seat from the in-laws house. They are wonderful and got us that as a gift but no longer wanted it sitting in their house! haha. So now I can just stare at it all day :) I love spoiling my little girl. My mom calls her 'my doll' because you should see the clothes I have already gotten her. She can NEVER have too many clothes! But I would be lying if I said she didn't have a lot already.
We can't wait to meet you baby girl. :)
