Boy, am I glad to see you! Not that trimester 1 was THAT bad. I mean, I know so many people that have it way WAY worse, but how is it that even knowing that I've got it relatively easy, I still find myself whining and moaning at the slightest discomfort?
Speaking of which, I had about 3 weeks of BAD, all-day long nausea, but right around when I started taking prenatals (coincidence? who knows) the morning sickness died down a LOT. Since about week 7, I have only had to deal with a loss of appetite, and a few hours of "night" sickness in the evenings. Lost about 8 pounds over all since week 1, but seriously...I definitely had 8 pounds of 'extra' to lose, anyway. I've been at a steady weight since the morning sickness backed off, so I'm glad I don't have to worry about that as much as last time.
As for cravings? I don't have cravings. I mean...the things I want and love now are things I've always loved. Candy. Junk. Fruits and Veggies. (yah...black and white). There are some things I have acquired a dislike for, though. I don't like bread. I have been able to stomach a sandwich here and there without too much trouble, but I don't enjoy it. I also haven't been a fan of chicken. Burgers make me gag, but I LOVE steak. Steak and fries and onion rings, oh my! :) I'm going to have to watch out cause those 8 pounds (plus 50 more) are going to come right back in no time at this rate.
Another hard thing: the exhaustion. It doesn't help that I've got a ball of energy that I have to keep busy all day. Luckily, she has taken a liking to Madagascar 2, Kung Fu Panda, and Shrek 2 (the only 3 newer animated movies we own). And that usually keeps her pretty well entertained.
And if you've made it through reading all of that whining, then I applaud your efforts. Baby #2 is due to arrive May 5th. Heard the heart beat for the first time today, and saw the little tyke jumping around like a jumping bean on the ultrasound. Looking good! We couldn't be happier (as I'm sure you could tell from all my complaining).
Yay!

I think steak and fries are excellent foods to crave.
I'll bet it feels good to be able to just tell everyone now. :) Congrats on seeing a heartbeat!

I've actually been wondering for a while if you were pregnant...with the lack of blogging, I just knew there had to be some other reason for your lack of motivation! I'm so excited for you, and can't wait to hear more! Congrats!!!
Congratulations! SO excited for you!
I wish I had read this all the way through. When I saw 2nd Trimester I tried to go back and see what I missed. Then, I finished and found out I didn't miss a post. I am so excited for you. I bet Cami will be a great big sister!!!
