Since October when we found out, life has been very good to us! The first 12 weeks went by so fast! For the most part I felt pretty good! I just ate ALL the time so I wouldn't feel sick. At least that is what I told myself. The 2nd trimester was great too! I did have energy and could now see the changes in my body and began to feel uncomfortable. Sleeping has been the biggest adjustment for me. Trying to find the most comfortable position is not possible I have decided. I sleep with two pillows between my legs, another one next to my back and when Ryan goes to work I use his pillow at my front side. Some days I wake up with sore hips, and most days my bottom hurts. I got a massage this month and oh was it heavenly! I am getting another one next week! I started to feel baby girl move around 17 weeks. I don't really know how to describe it. My mom said it's like butterfly flutters! When Ryan felt her move for the first time- she kicked once pretty hard and this is his exact words, "Holy heck she is in there!" I love it when he can feel her move! His hands are warm and I think she likes that feeling! Ryan asks me all the time what it feels like. I just don't know how to explain it. This baby girl moves all the time! I am reminded everyday what a miracle she is. I love going to our check ups and seeing her grow. She is a miracle. A gift from God that I feel blessed to have. I have tried to go walking a few times a week. It has been so cold outside and I wished that I could get out alot more but I feel so thankful to be as healthy as I am. I have enjoyed this journey and I know it is just beginning.
