First Trimester
About a week prior to getting a positive test, I was experiencing a few symptoms that could have been related to pregnancy or my period, so I didn't pay them too much attention. My boobs were killing me, my back hurt, and I was pretty tired. My appetite was also a little wonky. But again, I didn't think too much about them, because I wasn't getting my hopes up!

Pictures from the day I found out ~ Becky took them in her room for me!
As the weeks went on, I continued to be very tired and drinking water like it was going out of style, which then led to numerous trips to the bathroom. I also had a few nights of some rough sleep. During my Spring Break, I relaxed a ton but also had a few days of feeling a bit nauseous. For a few days, 11 AM was the time to feel crummy! But since I was on break, I could just lay down and rest.
After those few days, everything went great! No morning sickness (praise the Lord) just tiredness. I feel so lucky to not have to deal with getting sick ~ thank you baby!! Still have a little trouble sleeping at night. I will either fall asleep right away but wake up at 4ish and toss and turn OR I'll toss and turn right away but once I finally fall asleep, I'm done for!
I called up my doctor the day I got a positive test to schedule an appointment. She likes to wait 8-10 weeks before seeing patients (ugh ~ I'd have to learn some patience) so my appointment was scheduled for April 17th, when I'd be 8 weeks along.

The doctor's appointment went great! Mike came along and got to meet my fantastic doctor. She confirmed the pregnancy (yah!!) and gave me tons of information and goodies. I'll go back every four weeks until 30 weeks when I see her more often.
We also scheduled our first ultrasound for April 25th and I cannot wait!!
