13 W 3 days
Well, the first trimester has come to a close! I guess it can be not very fun, but mine wasn't too bad. I never really got morning sickness, just the constant feeling of pukiness! I figured out that if I let myself get hungry, that is when it got worse. So I just snacked a little throughout the day. Over Easter weekend I thought I had a bad case of morning sickness, but it turned out to be stomach flu. There for a few hours I thought I was going to die. But, I survived and so did our sweet pea! Fatigue seems to be my new best friend for this pregnancy. If I am not busy with work and school stuff, you can generally find me fast asleep on the couch.
In Week 8 of the first trimester I did have a scare. I woke up and was spotting. I initially freaked out and called the doctor nonstop for about and hour. After an exam and ultra sound everything was just fine and baby was great. I never really worried that the baby was in danger, I just kept asking the Lord to give me his peace no matter what.
So far I have only gained 4 lbs in these 13 weeks! I would love to tell you all that I have been doing a great job with great food choices and working out a lot, but...it would be a big fat lie! I am slightly disappointed in myself. I eat whatever I want and that is not like me. That is like the OLD me, but not the NEW me. I will not allow this to be my new habits. I am going to get on track and eat within moderation.
So far,I am feeling great! I go back to the doc on May 25 for my 16 week check up. June 12 will be the big day to find out the gender of the baby. We will be so happy either way and already have names ready to go!! I am stoked because we are going on Matt's birthday!
Well, fatigue has set in again! Good night all from Matt, Carla and baby Sweet Pea!!
