One Trimester Down... two to go!

The Happy Parents to Be :)

Now that I am in my second trimester, I can matter of factly say that it is much easier than trimester ONE. From my experience, I can honestly say it was miserable. Yes, I was so happy about my new +1, in fact ecstatic, but I honestly felt like a depressed, lazy, and all around miserable member of society. I honestly can say I feel like myself again, and can enjoy this beautiful time.

With that I gladly give you the Best and the Worst of Weeks 1-13...

Best 5 moments of Trimester ONE
1. Taking a pregnancy test on Christmas Eve morning, and seeing that one little word that will change our life forever... PREGNANT
2. Sharing the Happy news with our Family and Friends, and seeing the happy tears from the Grandparents to be
3. Seeing Baby Bruner's heart beat pitter patter
4. Watching our lil peanut kick and punch at the 3rd ultrasound
5. Making the Baby!

Worst 10 moments of Trimester ONE. There's just a lot to complain about...

1. The waiting game...waiting to officially announce, waiting on the news of baby's well being, waiting for the next Dr. appointment, waiting to feel better, waiting , waiting, and waiting some more.
2. Nausea... "morning" sickness should be changed to all day and all night sickness. Feeling like you are going to up chuck at any moment is just miserable!
3. Sore Boobies- My boobs have already grown almost two cup sizes. I had to go to target to get ugly old lady bras. Your Nips get big, and well they change color so that your baby can see them! They hurt a lot.
4. No nookie if you know what I mean.
5. Food Aversions. Seriously nothing sounded good. Almost all foods just sound yucky!
6. Bed Rest. Laying in Bed for 3 weeks straight can make one be a tad bored. Maury Povich can only entertain someone for so long.
7. Moodiness- In my case depression. Sad all day because, I was worried. Sad, because I didn't feel good. Sad, because I wasn't working. Mama had the blues!
8. Progesterone Suppository-yuck! Nothing is fun about a drippy liquid to disturb your sleep every night.
9. Tinkle Tinkle All Day Long, and all night long. Basically me & the porcelain king became BFFs.
10. Not being able to SHOP! I just want to know all ready... Pink or Blue?? Can I buy tutus, or bow ties!

Surviving the First Trimester was tough, but one little thing got me through it. That sweet little baby I can't wait to hold.

Hasta Lavesta Trimester ONE. It's been real...

Kung Fu Baby

At week 10 I went in for another ultrasound to see how lil Baby Bruner was doing. I was so nervous, as this would be my last appointment of the first trimester. I was starting to not feel like a zombie anymore, and was hoping my Dr. would release me to go back to work. Trevor just started a new job at a plumbing company in Pasadena, so he wasn't able to go. Luckily I had Grammy (my mom) to come with me to the appointment for support. Although my last appointment at 7 weeks, was good information I was still so nervous. In fact I hadn't announced my pregnancy yet, because I wanted to get through this last appointment just to make sure.

As I laid back for another vaginal ultrasound (ouch) my heaart started beating so fast as I saw what looked like a baby. My Dr. pointed out the legs, the arms, the head, tush, and then the steady and strong heart beat. Baby Bruner was right on track measuring 10 weeks! I couldn't believe my eyes. My baby was kicking its legs and punching its arms like a little ninja. Looks like my lil peanut is going to be one tough cookie.

After the appointment, my Dr. told me that I was not considered high risk anymore, and should just enjoy my pregnancy. He stopped the progesterone treatments, and suggested I return to work and get back on my feet. I was overjoyed, and soooo in love with my lil kung fu baby. The only thing was, now that I wasn't high risk I would have to wait another 4 weeks to see my lil one. He said at the next appointment he would use the Doppler so we could hear the baby's heart beat, and would perform another ultrasound ( a belly one). Can't wait to see Baby Bruner again!
