This week we finally got a picture frame that is way better than the one we used at first! Getting this one ready made it a little difficult to be on track to take the picture on Thursday at exactly 12 weeks, however, we won't have to replace this one again. There hasn't been much of a difference since my last update, I'm still experiencing some nausea here and there, but not as extreme as the very beginning, and I'm definitely still exhausted and tired! But we're noticing a lot more growing happening in my belly area! I'm excited to finally start showing and getting bigger and not being in this awkward stage where it just looks like just have some belly fat going on.
Next week it will officially be the 2nd trimester! I can't believe I'm already 1/3 of the way there! I hope to get back to feeling more like myself soon. I can tell I've been a lot more moody, and Justin let's me know, but it's more noticeable when I'm REALLY tired. Yes, I am tired all the time, but when it really starts to take it's toll on me, that's when the mood swings kick in! And while I'm at it, Justin has his mood swings too ;-) however, I can tell it's because he's nervous. We're both really excited about having a baby, but that comes with worries about finances, becoming good parents, where we will live, and the drastic change from it not being just him and I anymore. As excited as I am and how I know that I was always meant to become a mother, it is still hard that this is our first year of marriage, and we already are jumping into parenthood. There's a lot of things that have to change and get cancelled because of it, but I would never regret it for one second. Out of all the great things we have accomplished in our lives, this will be the best thing that we ever do. No matter where we live, our jobs, how much money we have and so on, I know it will all work itself out and be worth it.
