First trimester recap.

This is my first trimester recap real quick
Things I liked:
1. Hearing the heart beat and seeing a healthy baby. I was SO nervous for the 8 week appointment. I may or may not have been super lame and cried when I heard the heart beat. No one noticed though.
2. To tell Garth we were pregnant I made a movie. It had all our pictures we've taken in order from the dating phase up to married life. At the end there was a slide that said "And now this summer they're renovating their apartment..." and the next said "They're adding two feet" then the next was a picture of baby feet and the text said "the kind of feet that walk" then it ended. And Garth didn't get it. He didn't realize for about 2 minutes what I was saying. So that was awkward.. lol
3. Making it to the 12 week mark. I've been so nervous at any sign of cramping or pain, I just wanted to make it to this point so I could relax a LITTLE.
4. How badly Garth wants a boy, and how badly my siblings want me to have a girl. All for weird reasons. Anna because she wants Paris to have a friend, and Kyle because he wants to be able to have the first boy. Haha [:
5. How if there's ANYthing that sounds good to me to eat (its rare for me to find something I actually want) Garth wants to go get it right then always. Sometimes I feel awkward, but he loves me.
6. Kyle and Bailee brought me a first trimester survival kit. It had all my favorite things. Goldfish, airheads, popsicles--yum--and more, and each had a purpose. Probably the airheads were eaten way too quickly though. 
7. The satisfaction my husband gets out of seeing me sick. Now before you judge him--let me explain. He doesn't like seeing me sick and in pain, but its comforting because me being sick means the pregnancy is progressing. I wasn't super sick my first pregnancy. So one day when I threw up all day Garth got a little excited and said, "Maybe we are having a boy!!" (My mom was much sicker with the boy than the girls). Haha. ALSO the first time I threw up there was a little smile on his face. Which you can bet I didn't like at the time.. lol

Dislikes:
1. The fact that when you throw up pregnant there's no "oh I finally threw up now I feel better." Its oh man I feel worse, which probably means its going to happen again.
2. My general bla toward food. I can never find anything that sounds good, therefore nothing is really satisfying.
3. Having my first real craving. For a while I just really liked taco bell. But I never felt like I craved it. Then one day after being sick all day I had a super strong craving for a smoothie I haven't had since high school. I got all shakey and crazy. Didn't have a car so, my lovely sister in law had to go get it for me. I felt really bad, but I learned real cravings stink. Except when they're satisfied. That made the smoothie the best smoothie ever.
4. Garth  not liking me to do anything I don't have to. I finally had to tell him one night that when I feel good I want to clean and I want to cook and I want to do normal things, and he has to let me or I feel like a terrible wife and I'm doing nothing fulfilling.
5. Being in school while sick. I always have a little snack for class, but I've quickly learned that my classes are all very far from the bathroom. So my options for running out of the class to throw up are water fountains and sometimes I get lucky with trash cans.. one time my only option was a potted plant. Luckily I was just dry heaving. People stared, yes.
6. Wanting to work out, but not being able to consistently. I usually do on the days I feel good, and I've been trying to at least walk the track. But it doesn't happen all the time. And I get more sore doing the same things I used to, so I feel like an old woman. [:


My conclusion: I'm not so good at this whole pregnancy thing yet. Don't think my body likes the hormones [: haha. But this is yet another reason God sent such a patient husband my way right? Garth keeps telling me this trimester is going to be better and I'm going to wake up one day like "DING" sickness gone. So far, not yet [:
