First Trimester Wrap-Up

Well, I made it through my first trimester!!!  I am so excited and thrilled to be entering in to what some people call The Honeymoon Phase. I feel like I should give myself an award for completing the first 12 weeks!  Haha…  So, here is the wrap-up of my first trimester.

I’m not gonna lie and pretend like everything was peachy kean…it was tough at some points!  And, when I talked to friends that told me, “I had such an easy pregnancy,” “I didn’t feel nauseous at all,” it made me envy them, but ya know, I wouldn’t trade it for one second!  I only had about 3 weeks of throwing up every day and then it kinda trickled into only 2 times a week and now it has been a whole week since I have thrown up!  Yahoo!  I still feel nauseous in the evenings but I am holding on to the hope that it will also fade very soon.  Feeling icky lets me know that my little baby is growing and developing and everything is working as it should!  I am so thankful to God for that!

Something else that I had to get used to during my first trimester was my growing boobs!  Holy moly it is insane!  Some girls pay good money for these knockers!  I must say that although I feel like I have two large tumors hanging off my chest Greg seems to enjoy them, and quite often I might add. J  I recently went to “The Bra Shoppe” in Bakersfield and got fitted for a new bra that can grow with me as I progress into my pregnancy.  And, guess what size I was?!?!  34E.  I’m sorry but there is nothing sexy about a bra that large!  And it’s kind of uncomfortable but hopefully I’ll get used to it soon.

Well, besides the growing boobs and nausea the only other symptoms I have had to endure are gaining 8 pounds and bloody noses/boogers.  The 8 pounds I can deal with, but the bloody boogers were gross.  I am glad that has also settled down a bit. 

God has been so good these past 12 weeks and when I think about what is growing inside of me I am still amazed at the creativity, wonder, miracle, power, and goodness of God.  My mind cannot even fathom how He is able to take my body and use it create life.  Wow.  What an honor and privilege it is to be a girl!
