July 8th
I am 12 weeks 5 days pregnant!! I weighed 161.0lbs this morning. I am almost out of my first trimester. This is a very exciting time, the risk of miscarriage is almost nothing now that Ive gotten this far along!
I had some nasty morning sickness this morning but it seems to have passed now. Im having more and more great days and fewer and fewer sick feeling days! Now comes the ‘honeymoon’ period of pregnancy where I wont feel sick but wont be massively huge and uncomfortable yet. Ive been running a little a few days a week. Im still very tired, my lack of caffeine is not helping a whole lot. Id love to down a Starbucks frappuccino now and then but Im trying to still limit the caffeine, most everyone agrees its not fantastic during pregnancy. Past the first trimester its not that huge of a deal but I prefer to play it safe and keep it to a bare minimum. I do get some caffeine from soda, that’s one habit I don’t think I can ever kick. There are some days that I do indulge in a coffee but I try to keep that to a very occasional indulgence.
