I am out of that 1st trimester!  I am not as exhausted as I was those first weeks but I am still puking occasionally.  It's really not that bad.  Zofran has really helped me keep it in check.  I try not to over due taking it!  I limit myself to taking it if I have to be somewhere and I don't want to risk vomiting in public.  I feel like I am in limbo right now.  I am not showing and I can't feel the baby.  I am feeling better than I did the 1st trimester so I kind of still feel like this whole pregnancy is a dream.  That is until I am staring at the toilet bowl!  

Carl and I just thank God every day for this little one and the love and support we have already received.  Pregnancy is not going as smoothly as I thought it would but I wouldn't change a thing and I am thankful for the journey!  I love the advice and opinions so keep them coming!  I may not use it but I love hearing how people dealt with pregnancy!  It is the weirdest thing I've done so far!
