With God’s blessings, my husband and I are on our way to having our own little family. I’m in my second trimester and feeling great with minor growing pains that I will be more than willing to bear in anticipation of the greater reward, our summer baby.
This is my first pregnancy. I’m currently 36, though my OB GYN has to look at her charts now and again to remind her of my age because I look younger than I am. Since I’m starting to blog about my pregnancy halfway through, I’ll recap my first trimester experience. Since this is my first pregnancy, my body was getting used to this foreign object growing within me, taking me on a physical and emotional journey up until the start of my second trimester. Physically I experienced fatigue and lost of appetite accompanied by body aches and tenderness in my upper femine region. I was very lethargic and all I wanted to do was sleep. Emotionally, I was in a down mood. I’m a very energetic and social person but the first few months, I was a hermit and had no energy to talk or see people which was so unlike me, just aske my friends. Aside from the hormonal changes I was going through, I attributed my mood to the anxiety of being a first time mom and all the responsiblities that will follow topped with concern that my pregnancy will go well with God’s blessings.
As I neared my second trimester and I was able share the great news with family and friends, a little bit of that worry wart that grew started diminishing in size. I talked to family and friends who have been blessed to become mothers. I took the mothers’ word of encouragement and experience, taking into heart their advice to enjoy the pregnancy train ride while it lasts before the next stop to Newbornville rolls around the corner. Though the flutters in my stomach are more pronounced now, I still worry and pray for my unborn baby’s safety in there. I thank God every night for giving me and my husband this precious gift of life growing within me and pray for our baby’s well. Having God be by our side through this experience has been a great support.
I haven’t been much of a hassle during my pregnancy, but want to thank my Husband greatly for being the provider and keeper of my meals:) I’m taking advantage of my surge of energy now by helping out with daily chores I could not work on for a while, because once the 3rd trimester comes…back to lounging around again for me…hope not though.:)
