First Trimester, You know you are pregnant when:

It is amazing that I am pregnant for a forth time and still find the first trimester taking me by surprise, again. Yes, it has been different each time. My pregnancy with EC was definitely the most challenging by this point, in all aspects. It is true, after pregnancy there are things that you tend to block out and eventually forget. Did y'all know that I had issues with my heart racing and fainting during my pregnancy with EC? I saw a cardiologist, had an echo done, and even wore a heart monitor for a month. You don't remember? Neither did I!! Anyway, here is a little bit of my first trimester joy with the newest baby lane!

You know you are pregnant when:

You feel like you could drink all the water in the county and not quite quench your thirst for the day.

You wake up with dry mouth every morning.

You have an insatiable hunger for any and all food for weeks. Then, out of no where, (around week 8) thinking about food makes you nauseated. Suddenly, planning meals for the week becomes the most torturous task on earth and you wish your eating out budget could quadruple for at least the next three months.

Halfway through your chick fil a biscuit one morning, you just cannot bare to take another bite because it suddenly tastes disgusting.

Giving four viles of blood at the OB feels like they sucked the life out of you. You desperately needed that blood to survive, you just didn't realize it until you stood up. Immediately all the lights in the world dimmed a little and it felt like you had been riding a merry-go-round instead of giving blood.

Thinking about your favorite food while shopping at the grocery store makes you vomit a little in your mouth.

The muscle you worked so hard for (after baby one and two) slowly turns to mush because working out is not an option. Right now keeping food down is workout enough.

You suddenly wish for those days in the office when you could hide behind your desk and focus on keeping your breakfast down instead of chasing after two little cuties.

You are only 10 weeks out and are already considering bringing Crabby back.

Okay, yes, some of this was dramatized a little. We are filled with joy at the thought of adding another little one to our family. And nothing compares to seeing that little heart beating strong on a sonogram machine!
