Wow! It's hard to believe we've already made it through the first trimester of the pregnancy and are beginning the second trimester. That means we're already 1/3 of the way through, and that much closer to meeting Baby Lane! David says the baby can't come soon enough! He's already ready for this pregnancy to be over. He halfway jokes that we should adopt the next one. :) I don't think I've been all that terrible, and honestly I feel bad whenever I complain, because I know it could be so much worse. Most of the time, I just have a feeling of general malaise, usually accompanied my fatigue, lethargy, nausea, and most recently, headaches. I keep reading that comparatively speaking, the 2nd trimester is much easier. I'm definitely looking forward to hopefully feeling more like my old self, and having more energy to get things accomplished and do things that I enjoy.
Here is a little summary of the major moments of the first trimester:
- March 27, 2012- David and I found out we were going to be parents at exactly 4 weeks (2 weeks after conception)
- March 27-March 30- We shared the news with our close friends and family members
- April 20, 2012- We had our first OB appointment and saw Baby Lane for the first time. We also announced our pregnancy publicly on Facebook.
- May 18 2012- We heard Baby Lane's heartbeat for the first time and saw Baby lane move around on our second ultrasound.
Since finding out we were expecting life has been pretty hectic...from moving out of our old house 2 days after finding out I was pregnant, to finding a new place and moving into our new home in another state less than a month ago. I'm looking forward to not only the pregnancy getting easier this trimester, but also life settling down a bit, so I can savor the moments more.
Some things I am anticipating the most for the second trimester:
- Finding out if Baby Lane is a boy or a girl
- Beginning to decorate the nursery and shopping for baby stuff
- Feeling Baby Lane move
