18 WEEKS!

I didn't get the idea to actually "blog" my pregnancy until my "filipino" cousin who is this awesome writer and happens to be pregnant also mentioned that she blogs about her pregnancy.  I thought it was a great idea to document the weeks and months leading up to the birth of your child, especially your very first child! 

Let me catch you guys up on whats been happening....

My 1st trimester wasn't a bad one compared to others that I have spoke with..felt nauseated some days but all in all not so bad, I guess I was pretty lucky!  Knowing that you should eat while you are feeling sick was not fun at all!  Sleeping was a big part of my first trimester.  I was absoutely exhausted by the time my 8 hour work day was over..so my usual after work activities went out the window.  My Insanity workouts and free movie Tuesdays were soon replaced with napping. All the tests in the first 3 months came out normal and healthy. Around 12 weeks, I was beginning to get more energy and did not feel sick anymore.  At this time, I shared the news with family, friends and co-workers.  :)

Now I am 18 weeks and starting to show.  Well...if I wanted to, I can still hide it..I guess it just looks like i'm fat!!  If I bend over I feel like I have a ballon in my belly, it kinda feels like a balloon when you poke it too!  Brian and I are one week away from finding out the sex of our child!  We are so excited and we want to know right away what we are having.  My appetite has increased and have been craving lots of chocolate milk...along with these cravings have been chicken burritos and ice cream sundaes.  I'm still waiting for the "glowing" skin and awesome hair you are supposed to get while you are pregnant if it ever comes!!  ;)  I have moody days but the next day I can be so happy...weird or psycho?!  :)  Since I have not been able to play soccer or flag football..I have been going through withdrawal.  NOT COOL! 

Stay tuned for more blogs to come....this is my first blog ever, so please comment!!  xoxo
