Hi again! Thought I'd share some things from the first trimester. Back in July Jon and I decided to see a fertility specialist to get things going in the baby department. We didn't have to do any drugs or IVF - the doctor monitored my ovulation and pin pointed the days I was fertile. We were so lucky to "get lucky" and finally conceive. The news from the doctor's office really hit home when we began to tell our families we were pregnant. During the first trimester I was very tired and began to notice that a lot of foods I used to like were disgusting. I had mild morning sickness and I didn't gain any weight during this time. I could still wear my regular clothes and shoes so that was good. I had decided to wait until the 12th week to tell my boss at work and some coworkers that I was pregnant. I did a lot of reading in the first trimester. I bought the standard "What to Expect When You're Expecting" and some others. I also bought pregnancy magazines at Half Price Books and checked out more books at the library. And ofcourse I began surfing the Internet for more information on pregnancy. It got to the point where it was information overload! Even Jon read a book especially for Dads-to-be and began to understand what I was going through.
I'm looking forward to growing my baby bump during the second trimester and getting our home ready for our baby. My due date is April 8, 2009. We're going to find out the gender but for right now, let's keep guessing!
