12 weeks and Counting

This week I made the milestone of 12 weeks in my pregnancy. It felt really good, because I typically start feeling better around this point. And it's been true to the past...this week was much more manageable. I'm still nauseous in the evening, but the day time icky is gone, and a tiny bit of energy is bursting through.

It's hard to really say this for sure, but this has seemed like the hardest first trimester so far. I can't believe this is my fourth time around!! On top of extreme symptoms, I had a really bad cold in there and a round of the flu.

My house has never ever ever been so out of control. It made me feel even worse about myself ... but on the flip, my husband was super supportive and easy going about the disaster. And, I couldn't help but rest or sleep every time I had a free moment.

But I started climbing out of the pile this week...little by little and there is a light of hope again:)



(yay for a new camera that takes such pretty pictures too)

I'll have my next appointment on March 10th and it will feel comforting to finally hear the baby's heart beat. When you aren't showing or experiencing movement it's easy to be worried.

Oh, and my dear friend just had her very first baby this week...so I get to go hold her soon. I can't wait:)
