If you had told me on January 1, 2017 that I would marry the love of my life and become a mom this year, I would of told you, you were crazy! I knew these things were absolutely in the cards for me, but I wasn’t exactly sure when… and didn’t see it all happening in one year! On July 27th of this year, my life changed forever. I will never forget the moments that Timmy and I shared that morning as we learned the news that we were going to be expecting a baby in March. Its hard to even write the emotions I felt that morning… we were surprised, overwhelmed, excited, nervous, anxious, overjoyed, happy, scared… It was the day that my life changed forever. I see the world through a different lens. I am now a mom. It’s a beautiful, beautiful gift. The first three months I had a relatively easy time. Luckily I never found myself hugging the porcelain sink. I had days where I was queasy for sure, and I dealt with a lot of food aversions that made it hard to find something satisfying to eat at times. The worst side effect was how exhausted I felt all the time during the first couple of months. I was really tired and couldn’t seem to get enough sleep. Around week 13, I woke up one morning and just felt completely different. My energy was replenished, the queasiness had passed and my appetite was back, with vengeance! The second trimester has been great! Its really proven to me how amazing and strong my body is. I am literally building a human inside of me and my body systems seem to operating better than they ever have. My food allergies seem to have taken a hike. I no longer have any issues with my G.I system. My energy levels are great. I am still getting in all sorts of workouts (going to do a separate blog post on that!) Every day I see small changes in my physique as my body continues to prepare for labor. I am still sleeping really well… So far Timmy and I have had three ultrasounds. Last week we got to experience our first 3D/4D ultrasound and it was amazing. We got to see our little baby up close and personal… falling in love all over again. As of this week, we are 19 weeks into this pregnancy and happy to report that the baby looks great, all systems are healthy and everything looks good with Mama and Baby. Sooooo some of you are probably wondering… is it a Boy or a Girl??!! Well… Timmy and I have an envelope in our home that is locked away. That envelope contains that information, but as of now we have decided to continue to keep it a surprise and not find out. So you will just have to stay tuned! :-)
