Well, I'm 1/2 way through the 1st trimester! Nausea is the newest pregnancy symptom to me this week. My stomach has been spinning the last three days. Today was the first time I had morning sickness. I felt bad before and while I was getting sick, but now I feel so much better! I got curious as to why pregnant women get morning sickness, so I googled it: Basically, the cause is a combination of issues related to the chemical changes a pregnant woman's body is going through. Another interesting thing I read about morning sickness was that recent studies have suggested that mothers who have morning sickness have fewer miscarriages... so there IS a bright spot in the midst of my morning, or in some cases, all day miseries. The most noticeable symptom I have is fatigue! I sleep longer at night & need a nap mid day. Sometimes I try to fight going to bed, but I always lose. Oh, and this baby has Doug's appetite! I have been wanting & actually allowing myself to eat things I would normally just pass up without hesitation. Hopefully it will get easier to resist the things I know I shouldn't eat. So that's another baby & me update!
Doug is almost done with training in Cali. I'm so ready for him to come home! He has been gone over a month already, but should be back in 2 weeks or so. He had to find out that he was going to be a daddy over the phone =(. But he's excited to get home & be with me again. He was sick for awhile, but is starting to feel better! I felt horrible that I couldn't take care of him when he was feeling bad. He has been really down about being away from home, so I'm trying to make his homecoming very special. I love him so much & I'm so grateful to have such an amazing husband.
