So far this baby has been very good to me! The first trimester flew by and it's hard for me to believe I'm already on to the second. I feel very lucky that I did not suffer from morning sickness at all and really had no aversions to food or smells. I had a few waves of nausea here and there but nothing that lasted more than a few minutes. I was extra tired through the first trimester which may have led to a few mood swings (sorry J!), but even that was probably not as bad as it could have been. All in all so far pregnancy has been a great experience! My boss keeps telling me that I am going to have a lot of babies because I'm having such an easy pregnancy and I will be willing and eager to do it all again. We'll see how the rest of this journey goes!

Overall Review of the First Trimester:
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +2
Maternity Clothes: Not in the first trimester, but I just got some maternity pants today!
Movement: Not yet! I can't wait to feel those first flutters!
Symptoms: Luckily not many! Fatigue, frequent trips to the bathroom and sore breasts.
What I Miss: I miss being able to have a glass of wine or beer with dinner and sushi.
Girl or Boy: We should find out on August 1st!
Belly button In or Out: In - let's hope it stays that way! It will freak me out if it pops out!
Stretch Marks: None yet.
Cravings: No specific cravings really. Although I started drinking apple juice and eating applesauce a lot. I also will never turn down ice cream and bacon has been exceptionally delicious to me!
Best Moment This Trimester: The first dr. appointment at 9 weeks where we got see the baby and hear the heartbeat. It was such an amazing moment for Jason and me and one I will never forget! That moment made everything very real!
