The First Trimester

I am so happy to be pregnant and to experience growing a human inside me.  With the blog I want to share this special time with friends and family, since we are so far from home.  I am also using the blog as a jounal to document this wonderful time in our life.  I don't want others to think that at times I am complaining, I just want to write about the good and the bad.
At 14 weeks on March 30, I was done with the first trimester and on to the second.  This pregnancy is actually going by really fast.  Each week I get an email saying the size, the development and information on the baby.  It is so intersting!
To be honest, I was excited to move on to the second trimester.  A little recap on the first 13 weeks of the pregnancy.  I was nauseous all the time, it didn't matter if it was morning, afternoon or night I was constantly sick.  I had to get up two times a night to pee. And I didn't have much energy, making it hard to work. I really cherished this time because it made me appreciate Braden so much because he was there to take care of me, he is the sweetest husband.  He was very understanding with everything, but I still felt bad because on our days off all I wanted to do was lay in bed.  He could have gone and hung out at the beach and snorkled, but he stayed home and took care of me instead. 
Although the first trimester was hard on my body, it was really good on our marriage! I am so thankful for Braden and cant wait for him to be a Dad!


Total weight gain: 2 pounds
Are you in Maternity clothes yet?: Nope.  But I did buy some maternity shorts, but I only wear them because they are super comfortable.
Stretch Marks?: Thankfully not yet.
Food Cravings?: Ice Cream!! Well.. I always crave ice cream, even before we were pregnant.  But I tell Braden that it is my pregnancy craving so he lets me get some at the store! :)
Anything making you queasy or sick?:  Sadly string cheese makes me sick and that sucks because I loved string cheese.
Happy or moody most of the time?: I should let Braden answer this one.  But I feel that I am happy most of the time.  Every once in a while I will get moody, but I try to have mind over matter.
Symptoms: Queasy, tired, and sore boobies.
 

14 weeks:  The end of the first trimeter
