On Thursday morning, September 26th 2013 I got my first positive pregnancy test. It was so faint Arthur didn't believe me so I took another one Friday morning. The darker line that morning finally convinced him that a baby was indeed on the way.
We flew home to San Antonio to tell our parents and siblings the first weekend in November and their reaction was wonderful...everything I had hoped for! We waited until Christmas, and the end of my first trimester, to tell the rest of our families. My Oma literally sobbed with joy when she heard the news. It was an amazing moment.
The first trimester was rough. The nausea and exhaustion hit me with a vengeance around 7 weeks and continued until about 15 weeks. There were days when I couldn't stomach the thought of anything but bread and potatoes (oh the irony!) At this point, (now 16 weeks) I have about 1-2 days a week of nausea but my energy has finally returned and I can usually make it to 8:30 or 9 before I wear out.
I have to say...throughout my worst weeks, Arthur was amazing (although knowing him, that does not surprise me one bit!) He researched nutrition to make sure he is cooking healthy food for me and the growing baby. And he never got upset when my nausea prevented me from eating a perfectly good and nutritious meal he prepared for me. He never complained about me dragging him to bed with me at 7:30 PM (because I can't fall asleep without him next to me.) Thanks to me, I don't think he's ever been so well rested! (That will change huh!?)
It's been a fun ride so far but I'm so glad that first trimester is behind us! This trimester we get to find out the gender (ahhhh!!!!! can't wait!!!) and have the full anatomy scan to make sure everything is growing normally. We have so much to look forward to :)
