My mood while writing this blog: More Optimistic

Wow! 12 Weeks! I still can believe it.

I’m excited but still nervous at the same time. I’m starting to feel good. Feeling better scares me. Everyone says that feeling good is what happens during your second trimester. But, there was great comfort in feeling the few pregnancy symptoms that I had. The nausea is getting much better and my BBs do not hurt too badly (not at all during the day). The mood swings are not happening. I am thankful for that one. I have been getting dizzy and for the last couple day I have felt yucky until late afternoon. Almost like I’m getting a cold but I’m not. Feeling yucky during the day is weird because I think the hormones kick in at night. That is when my BBs hurt a little and I have to pee more TMI. I’m tired all the time but for some reason I have not been able to fall asleep if I try to take a nap. I have been a little crampy the last couple days.

I have been having some cravings. Slurpees, orange and grape juice, pickles and potato chips, and tuna. I have drunk more Slurpees in the last month then I have in the last five years. I never liked orange or grape juice. Craving pickles is so funny because it is so cliché. Potato chips I always likes but not with pickles. Tuna is hard because you are not aloud to have much of it. I also have craved sweets. I’m more of a salty carbs girl so me craving sweets is really strange.

I have been praying, praying, praying for a healthy baby and to just relax. So far some days are better then others. I have to have a NT u/s on the 23^rd so it will be nice to see my little one again. I will be 13 weeks then so I will truly be in the second trimester. I have a doctor’s appointment on December 4^th. By then I will be 15 weeks and I think I will be able to relax then. I hope.

My DH’s aunt wants to buy us a crib and wants us to look at them with her. It is really nice of her and I really appreciate it. It is just a little soon I think. My best friend is pregnant too. She started trying when I was pregnant the first time and found out she was pregnant about a week after I had the MC. She is seventeen weeks now and very excited. She wants to go to baby stores and buy little outfits and talk about planning our baby showers. I don’t know how to explain that I’m just not there yet.

If you are still reading this long blog, I’m sorry if you are bored out of your mind. I just want a record of what has been happening with this pregnancy.
