{12 weeks!!!}

Yay! I'm so excited to be 12 weeks pregnant! I know I still have a long way to go, but I'm SO GLAD to be DONE with the first trimester! I LOVE that I'm pregnant, but I have NOT loved being pregnant! I've spent the last 6 weeks laying on the couch or with my face in the toilet...it has not been pretty! I never thought I'd drop 10 lbs during pregnancy, however, I know it'll all come back soon enough. I really honestly thought that pregnant women sort of made most of this stuff up...the nausea..food aversions...metal taste in mouth...heightened sense of smell...well I take that ALL back! I'm definitely not out of the woods yet! I still am dealing with the joys of early pregnancy...but I'm hoping that I'll start getting some relief now that I'm moving into the second trimester. 

These past two days have been pretty great! Brian and I went to Olive Garden yesterday and it was the first time I've eaten...and wanted to eat...an actual meal! I ate my little heart out! It felt SO GOOD! Then today, Brian, Eric, and I went golfing. It was so nice to get out of the house and breathe some fresh air!

Well I hope this hasn't sounded like I'm complaining! I am so excited about being pregnant...I can't wait to hold this little baby in my arms! I have no doubt that all this nausea and throwing up is going to be so worth it in about 7 months!

Here is our baby's first picture! Baby's 8 weeks, 5 days here. We also heard baby's little heartbeat...the best sound in the whole world!

I'm 12 weeks in this picture...I also just ate lunch...so it might not be completely accurate:)
