So Long 1st Trimester!

Today seems like a monumental day in my life.....a little dramatic perhaps, but very significant nonetheless. I'm still not sure if my mind really grasps the idea that I am actually really going to have this baby one day, but I can tell you with certainty that I couldn't be more thankful than to be sitting where I am today....the last day of my first trimester. It's a sign that we're officially out of the most threatening danger period and about to begin the trimester that EVERYONE seems to tell me is the most wonderful part! For weeks now I've been hearing that in the very near future I'll begin to have more energy, feel less nauseous, and most importantly feel those ever so precious baby movements. The nausea has steadily decreased for about the last four weeks. Beginning Friday and through this weekend it made a vengeful comeback, but I'm sure it will pass again soon. The tiredness has been decreasing slightly....still going to bed very early, but not the need for as many naps. I can only hope that in a couple more weeks I might feel even more like myself! I'm ready to bask in all the glory of enjoying pregnancy!!

With my new found baby confidence, I've began experiencing one of the most exciting things ever.....registering! I think it might be even more exciting than it was when we registered for our wedding! Yea, I know it's still a little early to be registering probably....but I figured....Hey, what's the harm?! After all I have had 4 years to sit around and think about the baby products I like. And if it makes me happy, excited, and allows this all to seem more real then I might as well enjoy it while I can. So, slowly but surely the registry is being formed. Mat and I made a trip to Babies R Us yesterday. I've avoided that place like the plague for years for obvious reasons, but yesterday I realized just what a glorious place it is. It was a little piece of baby heaven! :) I can't wait for all the exciting things that lie ahead as I slowly begin to embrace the reality of this whole experience.
