So the official end of the first trimester is very close. I welcome it with open arms, and look forward to the second trimester with great anticipation. Things are already changing. I don't feel awful every single day, now it's every few days. I actually have good days, and sometimes two in a row! Alas, the nausea and spontaneous vomiting still occurs, but it is not constant. I'll be gald when it is gone entirely, but any change in the right direction is a good thing. I'll be especially glad when I can cook food again. I think I could cook a few things now, but the real hurdle is being able to stand up for 30 minutes straight. That's the kicker.
But aside from the nausea fun, other things are changing, too. I *feel* more pregnant. My lower abdomen is starting to poke out a little more and my last pair of work pants are definitely too tight. And even though I'm pretty run down most of the time, I don't NEED to take a nap every day. The people at my office know I'm expecting and everyone has been very supportive and nice. I'm starting to get more excited about being pregnant, instead of just knowing that I should be excited. It's hard to be super happy about something that makes you feel so awful all the time. But as the awful fades, the excitement builds.
So we're down to 192 days. That seems like an eternity, but I know it will go by quickly.
