It's Over.

The pregnancy sickness is over.  Well, I shouldn't say that too loud because I still have days where I feel slight remnants of it - which are probably days the baby is going through a growth spurt (because I'll be especially hungry too). I'm so ridiculous happy it's over!

The first trimester and even a bit into the second is, for some (me), the worst part of pregnancy.  Since we're not "supposed" to tell everyone we're pregnant right off, we suffer in silence.  And, when we do tell people, especially if it's early on, it's almost like people are afraid to ask you how you're feeling because it's such a sensitive time during pregnancy.

The first trimester has always been the suckiest for me. And, now it's over and I feel brand spanken new!  I was sick so long (weeks 5-16), I forgot what it felt like to be normal. I thought I'd feel that way forever. I was also taking a college class.  I'll be happy if I got a B or C. I just didn't care a bit about it. Interesting subject (Human Milk in the NICU), but could not put any heart into it. I'm glad I didn't drop it - because I got through it - but, whew, barely!!

The second trimester (my favorite) has been off and running for a while now and it's just the past few days I've been able to enjoy it. Allergy season (which also kicked me in the butt in a big way) is almost over. The paper is finished, the weather has been wonderful and I'm no longer drowning in nausea everyday!! Let the fun times of the second trimester officially begin!
