Pregnancy Review: First Trimester

I'm coming out of my first trimester and what can I say:  It sucks.

So imagine what it's like to have a parasite living in your body, not just living, but thriving and growing.  Yeah, it's exactly like that.  That's what pregnancy has been like.

I've got morning sickness.  I can't say how severe because it's my first time, but I think it's the worst.  I'm nauseated all the time.  My stomach is never settled and nothing makes it feel better.  Eating sometimes helps, but then it feel like crap from eating.  I can never win.

I have absolutely no energy.  I have run three time in the past three months and it kills me.  I'm so tired, I've got my distance down to two miles and I am sloooooooow.  I almost cried after my run today because I ran at a normal pace.  They say it gets better after the first trimester.  I hope it does. I can't do this for six more months.

My clothes are starting not to fit which from what I've read is too soon for first time preggos.  Great!  Then that extra weight is me not being able to control myself.  Wonderful.  I'm an emotional mess and just can't handle anything.

The hubster had been super awesome this whole time though I think he's fed up with me not wanting to do anything.  I want to eat, sleep, and work.  I don't really want to work, but if I want to keep my health insurance and other important adult things, I have to keep working.

But every time I go to the doctor's office and see my baby, it makes it all worth it.  *cue sappy mom music*
