We did it! I'm not sure how I survived, but baby and I have moved into trimester #2. So far baby is healthy and I'm not really showing yet (not a bad thing!). For awhile there I didn't think I was going to survive, there was nothing left in me to throw up, yet somehow baby found stuff and out it came!
And, for those of you that are considering pregnancy I am going to be kind and warn you of some things! You will thank me. First of all, you pee all the time! Yup your baby may be the size of a tiny peanut, but already the hormones and craziness of getting pregnant means multiple trips to the water closet. And, if you don't get pregnancy sickness (I refuse to call it morning sickness, that is a lie) consider yourself lucky. For a couple of MONTHS I was throwing up all the time.
I still do a bit, but not all the time (PTL), and so far no weird cravings! Yes, I'm very excited and I love my child with all my heart. I read it stories, and I talk to baby, and I pray for baby. I am just sharing some pregnancy facts.
And, not to get too personal, but yes my sex drive has changed (and we will leave it at that). This is not all bad for our marriage, it is just life. I think that in any marriage the sex drives of both people will fluctuate. We are not static creatures. And, change keeps us on our toes and keeps life interesting.
Trimester one was a lesson, a trial, exciting, wonderful, awful, weird and so much all at once. The emotions are all over the place. Now, to see what trimester 2 brings! Hopefully more baby pictures and the answer- Baby E or Baby Z (girl or boy)!
Happy day to all!
