My First Trimester


So, I have finally delved into the blogging world! Here is my first post...

I am 12 weeks along and have felt lucky so far as to how I have been feeling. I have had the generic nausea, but no physical sickness. I find I am really good at suppressing the urge to .....you know!

I have had 2 incidents in which I was super unhappy! My first one was the day we found out we were pregnant (May 30)! We went to the movies to see Angels and Demons. After 3 trips to the restroom, I finally had to drag Sam out of the theatre. I was feeling claustrophobic, dizzy, and nauseated all at the same time. Before I could even walk thru the door, when we got home, Sam had a preganancy test, unwrapped, held out in his hand for me to take. It is suffice to say, he knew before I did. I thought we were the ones with the supposed sixth sense!

The 2nd incident was 2 weeks ago in Flordia. We were renting a 2 bedroom condo from one of my student's grandparents. We had been there about 4 days when I had the same claustrophobic, dizzy, and nausiated feeling (but much worse). Nothing seemed to make it better. I even made Sam go down to the parking lot with me to pace. He is so sweet! In any case, I couldn't just get up and leave the theatre this time....so I paced the parking lot, rested my head on Sam's chest, and forced myself to breathe. It was like having a panic attack. My sister has checked up on it, since the incident, and has found that several women have experienced this as their morning sickness. So, I was able to go to sleep that might and we ended our vacation a day early in order to avoid it happening again!

As of today, July 21, I feel better than I have in a while! My appetite is back and I can usually take a tums to subside the nausea! So, finishing up the first trimester and things are looking up! I will get a pic of the baby bump and our first songram we had a few weeks ago posted here soon! I am going to try to keep this as updated as possible! I hope you all enjoy!
