During the first trimester so many different things were going on, you were developing and growing and my body was preparing for you. When I first found out I was pregnant it was very early, I was a little over 4 weeks along and had not really experienced any symptoms yet. A couple of days later and they were all there in full force. I was never a breakfast fan, but I fast became one while I was pregnant with you. The morning would start with me trying not to gag as I brushed my teeth, the worst was brushing my tounge. Then I would get in the shower, which I took as fast as I could because I alwasy felt like I was going to vomit. After the shower and before I could blow dry my hair I was hoovering over the toilet, with Roscoe right at my side, trying to figure out what was going on. I didn't throw up as much as a dry heeved, even though I think throwing up makes you feel better.
I confessed my pregnancy priddy early to my boss, for one I was for sure she knew and secondly I wanted someone to know why I was running to the bathroom every five minutes and so grouchy. I was going to keep you a secret from my boss for a few weeks but one day I brought a pickle to work for a snack and when my boss saw it in the fridge she asked if I was pregnant. I about died, I wasn't ready to tell anyone yet, so with a red face I said, "oh no, definently not." The next day I told her because I knew she must have picked up on the symptoms. After the congratulations she told me that no, she had no clue and was just making a joke. So you could have been my secret a little longer, but everyone at the ranch was so happy to hear about you that I am glad I told them.
I gained alot of weight during the first trimester because, well for one I quit my diet and didn't feel guilty about it. Also my stomach would cramp so bad if I didn't eat almost constantly, but then when I did eat I was running to the bathroom thinking it was all coming back up. Also the first trimester is so tiring, I would take a nap at lunch and be sleeping on the couch after work until your dad got home. He was very nice and would be quiet and keep the tv off, which is very hard for him, and he would wait on dinner until I got up and felt like cooking. I can't say I really craved anything during this time. I did want anything and everything fried, but I think this also might have been from not eating it for a year also.
I also had this new found love of cooking, I would spend all day looking for a new recipe online to try. Some of them were good, some not so good. During the whole pregnancy Roscoe acted weird, it's like he new you were coming. He would always climb on the side of the bed or couch and lay his head right on my belly. He would also follow my every move including laying next to me while I was on the toilet. When we first putting things in your room Roscoe would go in there a bunch, then he began to try and mark his territory and that is why Roscoe became banned from your room. Now I let him go in with me as I put things in there, and he smells every thing. I think he is jealous.
At the beginning of the pregnancy I thought you were a little boy so I began shopping for a little boy. I couldn't really buy much though because your dad kept saying, "let's wait and find out for sure first." Well I'm glad he was sane about it because everything I bought I also opened and threw away receipts so I didn't have the option to return it, but oh well girls can where blue too!
April 30th, 2010 marked the end of the first trimester, meaning we were a third of the way there and you were going to be our sticky baby. By this time all of our close friends and family knew about you and everyone was eager for you to get here.
