Notes & Memories from the First Trimester

-Testing for pregnancy for weeks and not getting a positive
-Finding out we were pregnant by sonogram
-Having to keep the secret through our Halloween party
-Telling my family on Halloween and my dad calling the baby a "spook"
-First bout of queasiness on Nov. 1st (right around 6 weeks)
-Early on wanting only bland foods.  Cheese, carbs, cinnamon rolls, biscuits. NO MEAT
-Eating only a biscuit for dinner one evening.
-Poor Mike dealing with me always being cranky.
-Making it through Mary's bachelorette party and wedding as maid of honor pretending to be drinking.  Thanks to lots of help from Katie I tricked them all!
-Being told we had a July 4th due date - and expecting a little fire cracker baby!
-Fatigue settles in and doesn't let up.  Going to bed early.  Never seeing an entire KU game. 10 hours of sleep/night minimum.
-Hating the smell of meat loaf & quiznos subs.
-Upset stomach all day long.  Nothing really helps.
-Getting to see the baby move around about 10 weeks.  So amazing and adorable! Moving the due date to June 30.
-Eating a hard boiled egg every day at work for my snack after breakfast.
-Beginning to crave meat...and anything salty.  One morning woke up early, rolled over to Mike and said "would you get me some bacon?" Of course he did.
-Craving goodcents subs and eating them at least 3 times a week.  Extra lettuce.  Love the vinegar.
-Craving chinese...again, salty.
-And cheeseburgers.
-Almost passing out in church and having to leave early.
-I could be found lying on the couch with the KU Snuggie most every point of the day that I didn't have to be at work.
-Not working out - at all.
-Mike making all of the grocery runs.  And running out for special cravings.  Sweet husband.
-Selling the house! Renting a house in PV the next week.  Moving date is set prior to Dec. 27th.
-Telling Lindsey, Katherine, and Ashley as well as extended family the good news.  SO fun to finally share with people.  Right around week 10.
-Heard the baby's heart beat about week 12.  Amazing how fast it was.  And being paranoid about having to get a RhoGam shot.
-2 days later a trip to the ER (12/15).  Scared from all of the bleeding.  Unbelievable relief that the baby was just fine. Sono showed a June 27th due date.
-Waking up in the middle of the night and eating waffles.
-Fatigue just won't let up - looking forward to some energy and smoother sailing in the second trimester.
-Mom helping us pack for the move.
-Christmas right around the corner.
-In love with little Wedman. So happy.
