10 Weeks!
1st Trimester Story #1: I LOVED every minute of life! I woke up every day as if there was a rainbow coming out of my belly and I can't wait to got to work, or clean the house or make dinner for my family! Only 207 days to go! *ugh*
1st Trimester Story #2: I lost 15 lbs in 2 months, but not in a good way... You see, I couldn't keep any food down, had to take medication just to go to work every day. And I was hospitalized for a few days because the baby and I weren't getting enough nutrition. Oh, and I hate life. *double UGH*
So when I started feeling icky at about 8 weeks I was worried. Thank goodness my "morning" sickness was more of an afternoon/evening sickness. Making work nice and easy and dinner time touch and go. I had already started taking my prenatal vitamins at bedtime, and I believe that may have helped a little. My bedtime however has become that of an 80 year old and by 8pm every night I have been ready to hit the hay. The only real problem I had with this evening sickness was going out with friends. Naps have always been apart of my life and I truly think they helped me conquer the nights with our awesome friends.
Gabe and I were so proud of ourselves when I made it to MIDNIGHT the night of the Ball of Jareth in early July. Infact, I think there were only a one or two things I had to miss out on, due to the sickies.

11 weeks pregnant!
They say that every woman is different and I am very thankful we are. It's a truly unique experience and I am waking up every day with new emotions, aches, pains and joy. I have some beautiful friends who have given me some super cute maternity clothes and I am excited to begin to grow into them. The last two days have been nice. No night sickness and I even feel like I have more energy already!
