pregnancy ups and downs

A few people have asked me if I'm going to write a post about how my pregnancy has been going, so this is me writing a post about how my pregnancy has been going.

baby's bum and legs - it's a girl!

I'm almost 2/3 done with my pregnancy! Yesterday I hit my 23 week mark. So basically...I haven't really recorded my experiences anywhere. No journaling or anything. I'm so bad! But I'll put a few things down here for now.

My first 3 months were better than most people get to experience. I only had morning sickness for a few days. It didn't last long, because I figured out very quickly that I only got sick when I didn't eat. So really, I never actually threw up! Just a few dry heaves. Gross. That was too much information. Sorry. So, other than that, it was pretty awesome.

Pregnancy Downers:

• head and back aches
• being hungry ALL the time
• the awkwardness of clothes being either too big or too small, but never actually fitting
• never being able to get enough sleep to feel not sleepy when I wake up
• not getting to eat cookie dough or cake batter or runny eggs

Pregnancy Ups:

• being able to eat food ALL the time and not feel guilty
• not being too sick like most people have to be when they're pregnant
• craving healthy foods instead of junky foods
• having a baby inside of me. that moves around
• almost getting back to my pre-marriage weight in my first trimester
