First Trimester Sickness

I spent the entire first trimester sick as could be. I was either puking or sleeping. Okay just kidding. Thank. goodness.

Not to be that annoying girl, but I really didn't have it bad. No vomiting! Haha.

Erin 1 Morning Sickness 0.

I did have some nausea in the evening for a couple weeks, but it basically felt like motion sickness; not pleasant...but manageable nonetheless. My solution was to just sleep through it. Yes, fatigue was definitely present. There were some days I would get home at 600pm and be down for the night be 630pm. No joke.

Trying to keep it PG for the blog but there were definitely breast issues. Holy boobs Batman...I bow down to all you big chested ladies (says the girl who can't handle her B cup)  These suckers get in the way AND they are painful!!

Ahh and my pregnancy "glow" during the first trimester came in the form of oily skin and acne....so if that's what they mean about the glow, then yep, check off that box.

Bloating was a blast, for sure. Now here's a sexy image for you...I'd wake up looking 6 weeks pregnant and go to bed looking 6 months pregnant. The elastic band on my beloved sweatpants got a workout.

What else...my vision worsened. You've been warned...be a passenger in my vehicle at your own risk. But in all seriousness, I've heard this is fairly common and your vision should return to "normal" after the baby arrives. Thanks hormones.

Truth be told, all of those issues I just listed were few and far between for the most part. Or the fact that I'm writing this 5 weeks after the fact has blurred my memory :-p

But really, some days the lack of symptoms actually worried me. There are so many sad stories out there it's hard not to worry. Me and Tim are just so very thankful for this healthy pregnancy <3
