How I've Been Feeling...

So many of you have been so sweet to ask how I am feeling or how I am doing so I thought I would just write a post about for all my friends and family who I don't get to talk to everyday, but have still asked to stay updated. I also want to write it down so that I can remember it myself when I look back on this journey through my first pregnancy. So, overall I have felt pretty good. I was blessed to dodge the morning sickness thing for sure! I have been so exhausted for sure, though. A kind of tired I have never experienced, but my Doctor said it best when she said that is just God's way of saying this is a time to take it slow. When you are in the middle of moving, sometimes it is hard to remember this and be actively pursuing the needed rest, but I have done my best. The other problem I have had is just a lot of indigestion and heartburn. Because I have had past stomach issues, this probably should be no surprise. However, the pain from it has caused me worry off and on. I think I have accepted that that is definitely what it is from, but being such a worry wart, it has taken some time not to worry with every slight pain. As far as my back goes, it has been feeling much better since I have stopped allowing myself to bend and lift as much. But, on the whole, I am sleeping well, eating well and feeling pretty good. I am certainly ready to start the 2nd trimester, though. It is my understanding that you get a second wind then and maybe that would mean I could start unpacking some boxes so our house can start to feel like a home? We will see. Stay tuned for that in a couple weeks!

Thanks again to everyone for all the thoughts, notes, prayers etc. It is certainly comforting to have all your support!
