First Trimester Recap

When I was pregnant with Nate, I was constantly updating my blog on all the changes. Now I can't believe an entire trimester has gone by and I don't think I've said anything about the pregnancy except to announce it. The last couple of months are a slight blur, but I cannot be happier that they are done. I can some up the first trimester with one word: miserable.

I found out I was pregnant the first week of December, taking a test because I wasn't feeling well. It just got worse from there. On top of the morning sickness, which really can be called all-day sickness, I had a cold that developed into a severe sinus infection. So most of the month was spend blowing my nose and throwing up. I was completely exhausted and felt like death. The worst of it came during Christmas weekend, which was spent, for the most part, at home on the couch or in bed.

Through January I have had morning sickness, but about a week ago it start to subside. I still feel a bit sick if I go too long without eating and so I have to snack throughout the day. This is where the pregnancy weight comes on. I still feel tired but that is probably a combination of being pregnant and running after Nate. He is into everything! But I'll save that for another post. :)

As for changes, my belly is the good and chunky, but I'm not really big enough for maternity clothes yet. I live in sweatpants, unless I have to go somewhere and then the pants are left unbuttoned. And even though this is the second time around, it amazes me the developments that are made in the first months. It's crazy that the baby is the size of a lemon but is fully developed--even has little tiny fingernails! Truly a miracle!
