I legit cannot believe my first trimester is done. I also can't believe I'm actually pregnant again and we are having another baby and that I'm a third of the way done growing this little baby. Time is flying by this time around! I will start off by saying this pregnancy is SO different from Harper's. I hate to sound ridiculously dramatic but I will anyway, my first trimester with Harper's pregnancy was honestly one of the hardest things I've ever gone through. I was young and naive and not prepared for what was about to go down during that time. I got diagnosed at 7 weeks with her with what is called hyperemesis gravidarum which is basically severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. It was terrible and not something I would wish on anyone. Deciding to start trying again this time around I knew it was very possible I would go through that again and honestly I was really terrified but I knew if we wanted more kids, we would just have to figure out a way to get through it again. Thank goodness this pregnancy has been nothing like Harper's. I did experience nausea starting at about 5 weeks but so far it has been nothing like before. The most amazing part has been that I haven't thrown up once this pregnancy which is a huge blessing to me. Now that I'm 14 weeks I very rarely feel queasiness, if I do it's usually at night when Harper is already down for the night. I am so, so grateful to not experience what we did before. This pregnancy has honestly been super mild. I really haven't had a lot of symptoms and maybe that's another reason these weeks are flying by. Preston and I keep joking that Harper is our wild child and this baby will just be our chill little laid back kid who just goes with the flow. I guess time will tell!
