The first trimester

To commemorate the end of my first trimester, I thought I'd give you a taste of how the last month or so has been for me/us.   

Matt took this picture (without my knowing) on a recent "date night." As you can see, I wasn't much of a date...

Now, not EVERY night of the last three months has been like this. But there was about a three-week time span where I was going to bed around 8 or 8:30 each night…falling asleep at the table, on the couch, on the carpet. :) I think those days are behind me now, which I'm so thankful for! 

In other news, we had another doctor's appointment last week and got to hear the heartbeat, which was a strong 150 bpm. We were surprised to discover that I lost almost three pounds during the first trimester…due to the fact that I wasn't eating much because so little sounded appetizing to me. Our doctor wasn't worried about it and politely assured me that I'll be "ballooning" soon. Can't wait. ;) I still don't have much of a belly, but I promise we'll take a picture this week!
