Your Pregnancy

I often ask my mom what she craved, or what symptoms she had when she was pregnant with me. Sometimes she remembered, others weren't so clear. So this post is ALL things pregnant. 

1st Trimester:

I ate poptarts. 

I would shove ANYTHING in my mouth that was covered with cinnamon.

Chick-fil-A waffle FRIES

Sweet TEA (showing our southern roots)

Cheese and Crackers were my "go-to's" for my ALL DAY sickness

I couldn't eat anything Spicy (my favorite)

I gained MOST of my weight in this trimester =X 

I slept a lot

I craved Beer, but promise I stayed alcohol free!!

Heartburn, Heartburn, Heartburn

I drank a ton of water

us @ 16 weeks

2nd Trimester:

Anything strawberry flavored (FANTA)

Chicken Fried Steak

Strawberries

No ALL DAY sickness

Sonic Ice

Chicken Tenders and Fries

Insomnia, and bought a pregnancy pillow (that your Daddy hated)

I only gained a few pounds this trimester

I first felt you move :)

We found out you are a girl...and yes I cried

Heartburn, Heartburn, Heartburn

Yes more water

us @ 24 weeks

3rd Trimester:

The hardest of all 3
Insomnia 
Lack of Appetite
Pork Fried Dumplings
NO weight gain
you push because you are running out of room
sweet tea
fake contractions
back pain
You are so low that it is hard to walk
your baby shower was amazing!
daddy can see you moving 
Heartburn, Heartburn, Heartburn
We went to labor and delivery @ 34 weeks
(false labor)
We started making progress around 36 weeks
You are already testing our patience :)

us @ 27 weeks

 us @ 35 weeks

You being our gift is worth every bit of it!

Patience

We have made it to 38 weeks. 38 WEEKS!!! There were so many "looking forward to's" up to this point:

Hearing the Heartbeat

First Ultrasound

Second Ultrasound and sex reveal 

Third Trimester where you no longer just look fat, it is clear you are pregnant

And last....our arrival of Faith, which has been the most anticipating because unlike the others on the list this one is not on a specific date and time. With every pain, or symptom, and Dr visit we wonder...could this be it??? Have I ever mentioned I am not good with surprises? (being the control freak that I am) But with this part I have no choice other than to have patience and not panick. 

Faith and I at 37 weeks

We are waiting little girl!! Can't wait to hold you in our arms and tell you how much more beautiful the world is because you are in it!!!
