Wow, we're already almost done with the first trimester! I have to say it absolutely flew by. Looking back I had prepared myself to have a first trimester filled with horrible nausea, throwing up constantly, and complete exhaustion and I truly experienced none of it. I've definitely been more tired than I am normally, but not to the point of needing to go to bed way earlier or take regular naps. I think I took only 3 naps over the last 6 weeks and I couldn't be happier to say that.
With that said, we made the big reveal this last weekend to both sets of parents. It was really nice to be able to talk to my mom a bit about how her pregnancies were. Turns out I just come from very good pregnant lady genes because my mom claims to have had pretty much symptomless pregnancies! I was so happy to hear that because I was really starting to worry that maybe something was 'wrong' with my pregnancy since it has been so easy.
My one real symptom finally sent me to the store today. Oh yes, that's right, mama needed some new bras. I even had a couple of friends at work today comment that I was looking rather voluptuous, haha. However, I am a total bra snob. I have bought nothing but Victoria's Secret since I was 17 and trying on bras at Target just showed me that you definitely get what you pay for! Needless to say I came home with a couple that once I tried them on at home (because I didn't feel like going for round 2 in the fitting room) I discovered they will be going back to the store tomorrow. Wish me luck finding something that works!
The Mr. and I did start the bump picture tradition last week, but they haven't been uploaded yet so I'll try to do a post with pictures sometime soon. The bump is definitely starting to make an appearance!

Party Time is Over!
Whoo hoo! Normally I am down for a good party and I don't mind hosting at all, but I must say it is such a relief to have this party over with! Even though I have had, what I would consider, an easy first trimester thus far the added work and stress of hosting 60 people Saturday night was not treating me well. The party came together fabulously, my sister and I did a great job (if I'm allowed to give myself a pat on the back). We turned the Mr.'s man cave of a shed into a beautiful 50th bash. I am kicking myself now for not taking pictures, if I can track any down I will share for sure.
I think the most stressful part of the whole party was trying to keep this baby a secret still. One more week until we tell the parents and all hell breaks loose, which at this point I am really looking forward too. This is where I confess that I am a horrible secret keeper, on top of that this was a pretty large family even with approximately 30 of my aunts and uncles and I had a pretty hard time keeping my mouth shut. They all wanted to make small talk and chat about what was going on in my life, etc and of course there is this HUGE thing happening that I need to keep quiet about. On top of that many of my mom's sisters who I am actually very close to know that I will have at least 1-2 drinks at a family event so trying to come up with reasons why I wasn't drinking wasn't going so well. I am pretty sure at least 3 of them figured it out but at least they were nice enough not to question it. I am so excited for the people I love to know about the little babe, but I am absolutely dreading how crazy my mom is going to be about the whole thing. Next weekend will be a doozy for sure!

Quick Update
I've been slacking. Live has been absolutely crazy lately, not only have I been coping with the first trimester exhaustion, we are throwing a surprise 50th birthday for my mom on Saturday (complete with 60+ guests) so things around the house have been chaotic.
However, my dear Mr. just made my heart grow at least three sizes. It's been hard to figure out what is going through his head about baby, but I just got a text from him that as he's driven by garage sales at work today there are a ton of cribs and baby stuff. Now, don't construe this to mean I trust him to buy baby stuff from garage sales since I have a feeling we have completely different standards, but at least I know his heart is in it. He's going to be such a good daddy.
