Life is good..

She is here, now she's laying all snuggled up next to me sleeping on the bed. She's such a sweet baby and I'm in heaven!

Being pregnant..

Not my favorite thing in the world. At least not for about the first 4 months, then I was wondering what I had given myself into.. Nausea 24hours per day and throwing up every now and then. Blah my least favorite thing in the world! And then the tiredness and just feeling bloated and fat. It was tough to be at work when I had a nose like a hunting dog. Poop, throw up and old people. Smelly! Yes everything seemed to trigger my nausea. I couldn't cook for those months. I couldn't even go into the kitchen because it smelled. Poor Markku needed to get things out of the fridge for me. He's been a true champion this whole time. Being there for me. I love him so.

After 3,5-4 months the SPD (Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction) came along. It was pretty painful and I was wondering if I would be able to work. But then after a few weeks it took off, thanks heavens!

Now I feel much better. Of course some days I do feel nauseous still and the SPD does kick in if I don't take it easy. But I feel soooooo much better! Loving trimester #2 compared to #1.
