1. work, eat, sleep. work, eat, sleep. my poor husband was neglected because all i've wanted to do after work is eat & sleep.
2. i HATE getting up to pee twice every night. for some reason i thought this was only an issue for hugely pregnant women.
3. i hate cooking anything that leaves a lingering smell in the house.
4. i feel guilty because everyone keeps asking me how i feel and i really do feel fine.
5. i have a super sensitive gag reflex, but have yet to throw up.
6. i cry a lot. if i just start talking about something that makes me excited/happy/sad/mad, the tears will well up. i cried the other day because sean said i couldn't go shopping :) i can barely make it through a hymn without getting choked up.
7. i swear my nails and hair are growing out of control.
8. my skin has been HORRIBLE. this is my biggest complaint. this is definately part of why i've wanted to be a hermit. it's been bad.
9. i think it's a boy... and have finally decided that it's ok if it is.
10. i'm SO thirsty all the time.
11. my dreams are so crazy. i remember my dreams every night, and they're always SO weird.
13. now that we've told everyone the news, time seems to be going by faster. before we told everyone i was looking at a calendar every day and wishing so badly that it was halloween.
14. my house has never been so messy. i used to clean the kitchen/living room every night before bed. that doesn't happen anymore.
15. garlic grosses me out. the smell. the taste. yuck.
16. i've been feeling like a fatty the last few weeks, but when i went to the doctor on friday, they told me i hadn't gained any weight since my last visit. how is that even possible?? i feel like a blimp!
17. i had a burst of energy the other day and put up the christmas tree... WAY to early, i know :)
and that's my first trimester in a nutshell. now i'm officially in the 2nd. hooray!

I felt like a fatty too and I didn't gain a pound until my 20 week appt. Weird. But it's coming on now.... :) You are tiny and do not look ANY different!! I cry alot too!! And it always seems to be at work- my poor manager! Um.. I thought FOR SURE I was having a girl and I had a boy so you never know!!
So, I'm a little worried for when I have a baby--I already have to get up twice in the night to go to the bathroom!
And Christmas tree already?! Wow, not even Thanksgiving. Someone is getting a little excited.:)
Ariel, you just made me laugh! I remember feeling all those things! The first trimester and the last 5 weeks were the hardest for me. I thought the 2nd trimester was MUCH easier. I hope you get some energy back soon:) And trust me, this will all be soooo worth it!
congrats on making it to the next trimester... many new exciting developments to come
Woohoo for the 2nd trimester and the Christmas tree. Sorry for the tears and the bathroom. I agree with the Coopers. I already have to get up at least once a night. Yikes...
Ariel! Im still so excited for you :) Im glad that you haven't thrown up yet and feel pretty good! PS the peeing should get better but I still can't cook things that leave smells! YUCK! Haha hope things continue to go well!
Yay for the second trimester. The first is not so great I hear, now I can't wait to go through it. Good luck. That is awesome about the christmas tree, nice to have it done already though.
You're not a fatty, that's all just being bloated :) I felt the same way. I would just come home from work and lay on the couch all night. And yes, my house is FINALLY starting to look normal again...it's pathetic. You just have no energy to do anything, totally unmotivated, and feel to sick or bloated to even try. Don't feel guilty. One thing though...it'll get worse--the "how are you feeling?" comments. It's like every time I see someone at work, that's the FIRST thing that comes out of their mouth. I mean, it's okay, but seriously it gets a little old, always saying "fine" or maybe some variation of it! I get the thirstiest right before bed--go figure. BUT, I drink a huge glass of water anyway, bc HEY, I'm gonna get up anyway, haha. I actually get up LESS now (well, in a few weeks that'll probably change--once the baby drops it drops RIGHT onto your bladder) really only once a night. In the beginning, it was WAY more frequent! But who knows, maybe just me? Well, from my perspective the 3rd trimester is STILL better than the 1st. Seriously, you're over the WORST! Although my first trimester symptoms totally crept into my second. Miss you at choir!! You totally have a good excuse though. SUCKS being pregnant, I have to say. But it'll be soooo worth it!! You'll have the CUTEST girl or boy :)
Oh, the joys of being pregnant!
Congratulations though!
Yipee!
Congrats- I am so excited for you. I know the feelings you are going through. I am finally in my 3rd trimester and ready for this to be over with. But unfortunately, TIME SLOWS DOWN. For some reason I don't know why. Congratulations again!!!
Oh Ariel that is so much fun!! I look at your blog and I love it!! But kids really are so much fun!!! Glad to hear things are going so well for you!!
I love it! As I'm reading those I'm thinking to myself "yes...yes..yes...and yes." All those things sound too familiar!
Yeah for the second trimester! I'm glad its going faster now. I cant wait til you know if its a boy or girl! I never really got sick either. I'd get naseous if I didnt eat but that was just it...I had an easy pregnancy...lets hope yours stays that way. I am so excited for you!!!
You'll be like one of those preggies where you can't tell unless they stand sideways :)
Ty & I got family pics. Tyson wanted to for some reason. They're cute. I'll post more when the pic chic gives us our disc..
Ha rhyming!
I swear - I haven't been pregnant in 5 years, but your list brought it ALL back...really quick!!
