YAY for 2nd Trimester!

I never knew you could love someone more than life itself, yet had never met them (and was smaller than the palm of your hand)!  Even though I already love this baby more than anything and I think/pray for Little Bean every second of every day, I am very thankful that I am through the first trimester!  Morning sickness is a false term that someone made up to give pregnant mamas hope that they will only feel bad in the morning… LIARS!  It is more like ALL DAY sickness.  I am not one to really ever get sick. And I can count on one hand the times I felt bad throughout my entire life, so this yucky feeling was not cool.  Every time I would complain to my mom, she would tell me that Little Bean is just making sure that I didn’t forget that I was pregnant…Oh baby, Mommy didn’t forget about you!! HA HA~

Now that I am in my second trimester, I am starting to feel more like myself again.  There are more good days than bad and Kyle is starting to relax a little better.  Even though I was the sick one, I think the first trimester was harder on Kyle than me.  He commented often that he felt helpless and would ask me everyday how I was feeling, and when the answer was always the same (crappy),  he would get frustrated.  I did feel sorry for him though, because since I wasn’t hungry, the cooking was slim and we both ended up losing over 10 lbs. a piece.

This pregnancy has actually gone really fast.  Kyle and I are working 12+ hour days and have scheduled events most nights of the week.  I am exhausted and we have been going to bed before 9:00pm (if we get home before then!).  This weekend Robert and Jody (Kyle’s parents) came to town to help us decorate the office and do a little Christmas shopping. 

My patients are starting to call me out on the size of my growing belly!  One lady walked in the door this week and said, “Okay, is something going on here?”  We all started laughing as her face turned bright red, paused for a second and said, “no, what are you talking about?”  She was so embarrassed and when we finally told her that yes, I was indeed pregnant, she screamed with excitement and gave me the biggest hug ever!  Everyone has been so supportive and just as thrilled as we are!  I couldn’t ask for better patients~

 

This week is more long hours at work, bible study, a Christmas party and a wedding.  Tune in next week for more pictures and an update!  Happy December everyone!
