I can't believe how fast this pregnancy is flying by. My first trimester was torture, I never thought I would live through it. I was throwing up, couldn't keep anything down, and ended up losing 11 pounds. It was summer and I did not leave my house except to go to work, I didn't even go to the beach one single time! I made it through thanks to my amazing husband and a lot of ginger ale and nabs crackers. I can't even look at a package of nabs now because I ate so many.
The second trimester was much much better. I haven't been sick, but I was having some issues with elevated blood pressure. Every time I would go in for an appointment my blood pressure was a little higher than the appointment before, which is odd for me because my BP is normally very low. I chalked it up to being stressed out at work because I was a new nurse at a new job. My husband, Adam, and I sat down and talked about the pros and cons of me working and decided that it would be more worth it for me to have a healthy pregnancy than for us to have the second income. So halfway through my second trimester, around 18 weeks, I quit my job and it was the best decision we have ever made! I have been stress free (for the most part) and just enjoying this season of life growing this little life inside me.
Here are a few pictures from the first and second trimesters:
