13 Weeks

The end of the first trimester is here!!! Hip Hip Hooray!! If only all of my first trimester symptoms would take a hike. I thought I was on the uphill with my nausea and fatigue. SIKE! The past 4-5 days it has taken a turn for the worst. The stomach bug hit our house last week and it was U.G.L.Y! All 4 of us got it at different times. It hit me at 5am Thursday morning at work and I have not been the same since. I got home from work that morning and contemplated a visit to the ER. My back was aching, neck was stiff, and I couldn't keep food down. I was positive I had the flu. Each day has gotten better, so I staying positive that this will soon pass.
