We're Out of the Woods, Folks!

So happy to say that I am officially in my second trimester of pregnancy! I was so blessed with this little one to begin with that I really had no idea how long God would keep the blessings coming. My first trimester was nothing short of... well, hell. I had every symptom in the book. My morning sickness felt unbearable for weeks on end. I can't believe I still have my job after leaving work early so many days. Luckily I'm only in the office 3 days a week, but I don't want to even BEGIN to share how difficult a feat that was! But alas, I have survived. I'm well into week 13 and I am beginning to feel so much better. My energy has started to return (no more feeling like death if I don't get a nap every 5 hours) and the morning sickness is so minimal. The morning vomiting is still a daily thing because I can't seem to force food down when I first wake up, so hugging the toilet it is!
We faced quite a few obstacles in the first trimester. From low to almost non-existent progesterone levels, a gestational sac and no baby on an ultrasound, and 4 days of bed rest, I am so happy we still have a growing little baby! This second trimester will be exciting-- I can hardly wait to find out the sex. Most people are guessing girl, so it will be fun when we hear who is right!

Crazy

Isn't is crazy when you find things out about people that you would have NEVER guessed??? Some people just live these crazy secret lives-- not that it's bad-- just so strange to me that they go through these huge things in life and never share them with anyone! I have a hard time keeping secrets-- and my life is an open book. I share every emotion with a wide range of different people. Yes, I know how to keep my guard up with certain people and in certain situations, but overall, what've I got to hide? It's crazy to me that there are so many people out there who are just... opposite of me.
