Almost in my 2nd trimester!

Tomorrow I will officially be 3 months pregnant. I can't believe it! Time has definitely crept by. A few weeks ago I cried my eyes out to John and in between sobs I asked, "Will I ever feel normal again?!" He replied, "Yes, you crazy hormonal basketcase, you will!" Just kidding. He just hugged me and told me everything was going to be ok. Slowly but surely, I can see the light and that everything WILL be ok. It's been a roller coaster of emotions during these past 2 months since we found out we're having a baby. From the constant worry that I'll lose the baby, to wondering how the heck I'm going to decide on colors for that nursery (and trying to figure out how on earth I'll fit my entire office in our bedroom...), all the while feeling like I could fall asleep at any moment. Luckily we have 6 more months to figure out the logistics of fitting a baby in our home! And hopefully the crazy, paranoid, worrier part of me will chill out a bit and focus on staying healthy. A few times this past week I felt tiny little flutters in my lower belly, and I'm pretty sure it was the baby. I've heard you can feel little movements this early on, even though a lot of people on these baby message boards say it could just be gas or some other crazy thing happening inside. But I choose to believe the "goldfish swimming in my belly" feeling is the little one, happy as can be, swimming around in his/her home. It's the coolest and most amazing feeling, and really brings it all into perspective. Pregnancy isn't supposed to be easy– hello, I'm growing a HUMAN BEING inside of me. Of course I'm going to feel a little off. But it's all worth it in the end. And we can't wait for November!!
