The first trimester was less than fabulous :) I was pretty sick and ended up losing weight during my 3rd month. BUT the doc prescribed Phenergan to me and I'm mucho better now. I should have called and asked for it sooner, but I wanted to just suck it up and then people kept saying, "after 12-weeks you'll be fine"..."after 14-weeks you'll be fine", "you should be feeling better anytime now"...well, some are just sick for longer I guess :) I had to take a long lunch from work one day last week and get some fluids pumped in me b/c I was dehydrated but after that...well, I felt good for about 24-hours straight :D For the past week I have been trying to keep phenergan in me or else. This morning, before I could get a bite to eat, before I could get the ol' feel-good meds in me I was throwing up, brite and early. So at 16-weeks I'm still sick, but as long as I stay medicated :) I can eat pretty normal.
My tummy is starting to poke out so cute-like. Only this week have I finally been okay with my changing body. The initial weight gain and body changes only made me feel insecure, but I'm getting over that. Lisa and Allison let me borrow their maternity clothes and they are too cute! I can only wear a few things now, but nice to know I will not have to buy all new clothes for the summer. Actually I have only bought one shirt and a pair of khaki capris so far. I really don't need anything. Love having friends that are my size :)
As far as getting things for the baby, I still haven't bought anything...psh, I haven't even cleaned out the baby's room. BUT I've been thinking about it alot...that's good, right?!?! I mean, you have to think about it before you can actually go through with it. In my case I am putting LOTS of thought before doing anything :D Seriously though, I have to get a smaller desk for our computer room...keep an eye out for me...and I need to move the twin trundle bed out and put the full-size bed in the computer room. Robert and I have to do this before I get HUGE!!! I am depending on great yard sales this Spring to find some cute baby items. I have been scoping out my route for the month and it looks promising :)
I am finally exercising again. I have been walking in the evenings and trying to do stretching and yoga. I found a prenatal yoga dvd and its pretty cool, I mean it is no P90X, but it'll do. So yeah, that is pretty much what we have been upto. maybe I will be a better blogger in the future so my posts aren't so painfully long.
As a grand finale, we find out the sex of the baby in two weeks! Hopefully he/she cooperates and doesn't go all modest on us :)
