I cannot believe I am 1/3 of the way done! Wooohooo! Overall my 1st trimesters wasn’t terrible. More of an adjustment. I had awful cramps (apparently that is your uterus growing….talk about freaking a person out when they first find out they are prego) that would wake me up at night and knock the wind out of me. I have them every now and then but nothing like those early weeks. I didn’t have morning sickness – just occasional nausea and indigestion. I do not know how people function with morning sickness….I could not imagine. And the exhaustion….holy cow it is unbelievable. I napped away the month of January. All of this makes sense though since I am GROWING a baby so I have no real complaints. The biggest adjustment has been putting on weight. Don’t punch me in the face, but I have been roughly the same weight since I was 14. I have already put on 7lbs and I have just never seen anything like it. I know exactly why though….when I don’t feel good I eat carbs….bagels, fries, ice cream, loaded baked potatoes, etc. So that in addition to cutting my workouts in half have been the culprits. Even still, if I am being honest with myself I am having a hard time seeing that number jump up so quickly.
