Stick a fork in me, because I'm DONE with the first trimester!

17. February 2010 — jen0r

So that was the easiest first trimester that I've ever experienced. I mean, dare I say uneventful? Dare I say, "I wasn't sick enough," "I had too much energy," and "I was too friendly"? I didn't even know I was pregnant until about three weeks ago, so it's like I got to skip my entire First Trimester in it's entirety.

I've been feeling surprisingly good. SHOCKINGLY good actually, considering I was put at 200mg of Premetrium (synthetic Progesterone for those not "in the know") once a day about 2 weeks ago, which can tend to make you feel extra icky. Surprisingly, I'm handling it very well! I didn't handle it so well when I was pregnant with Trevor! Oh my, that certainly was no fun.

For someone as petite framed and thin as I am, it's a bit surprising that I didn't realize I was pregnant before I did. And it's not like this is the first time I've been pregnant (six times in all - two babies, three miscarriages, and one on the way), so you would think that I would have jumped on any weird feelings and assumed a pregnancy. If you checked out my previous post regarding my announcement, you'll realize that denial had been running long and deep through me. Regardless of the situation, because I've been feeling pretty good I've been keeping up with my workouts and running for the most part aside from the days I (literally) fall asleep on the couch at 7:30. I wish I would have been able to play more tennis, but with the intense rain we had for about a month it just wasn't possible.

I keep thinking to myself that if the first trimester was so easy that I just sailed on through, what is the second trimester going to be like; a cake walk? Time will tell. It can only get better from here, right? I'm seriously hoping that it will!

Today I'm just proud that I didn't snap at my children in a haze of hormones. There is something about pregnancy that usually takes every last bit of patience out of me (especially in the first trimester). Perhaps today was the start of my patience slowly coming back! Today was certainly the day that I just couldn't wear my regular old jeans anymore, and most of my pre-pregnancy shirts are looking a bit too short. Time to break out the old beater wardrobe from here through August. If you have anything in Maternity wear that is an XS that you'd just love to give me/let me borrow let me know!

I also didn't zone out today thinking about how rocked my world is going to get come August. First time in a while that I've remained clear headed. Imagine that... a productive day, feeling good, and playing nice. How often does that happen, even when I'm not pregnant?!


So strange!

I feel so WEIRD that I finished the first trimester unscathed. My little boys literally KILLED me in the first trimester because I was so sick. This is just eerily weird to me, because I've been feeling really great aside from a few isolated days. I've even thought, "something must be wrong." I can feel the baby now, so I know everything is alright... but still! This is too strange! I feel like one of those weird women that love being pregnant!
