Wow that went fast! I am already three months pregnant….when I first found out it seemed like nine months would be a long time to prepare. Now it seems like three months just flew by! I have to say that so far I have been very lucky. No morning sickness just some nausea and tiredness, which is to be expected. The only craving I had was for dried apples they seemed to help with the nausea but apple juice would create nausea. Exercise has also been key.
We have over whelmed ourselves with parenting and pregnancy books and are kinda taking a break from them right now. I also learned not to read any of them before going to sleep because it just causes crazy dreams. However I have had some really cool magical baby dreams as well. Let’s just say that I think it is going to be a girl. And no we are not going to find out the sex until the birth day.
I love looking at my stomach in the mirror and watching it change! It is just amazing to be exploring how powerful and knowing your body becomes when pregnant. I have learned not to worry about “what if’s” since I have no control over those things and since my body knows what it is doing I just simply trust.
To celebrate the end of the first trimester we went for a 12 mile round trip bike ride along the interurban trail in Bellingham that took us to Clayton Beach. We were able to enjoy some sun while staring out at the San Juan Islands and feasting on yummy food. Tim bouldered around on some rocks while I just acted like it for the camera. Food has become a necessity every two hours. So then we treated ourselves to a local burger joint that has all natural hormone free burgers! Tim got to enjoy a nice beer and I got to buy some locally made ice cream to take home! The simple things in life are where it’s at!!!
So who knows what my cravings will be this trimester. I hear this is the best one for being active. Good thing it is Spring cause I am ready to be outside more often. We will keep you posted and look at the top right of this page for info on the up and coming baby shower in April.
