So I have a good reason why I haven’t been posting as usual as before. I’m pregnant! Ricardo and I are expecting our first child and we are extremely overjoyed!
This Friday, I am now 21 weeks! This definitely explains my “loose fitting” style recently.
I am so excited, its as if I don’t even know who I am anymore. What I mean by that is that I actually was not really much of a “kid” person. Throughout my life, I have always gone back and forth about whether or not I wanted children. The biggest factor in my life that changed that is my husband, Ricardo. He is the best thing that has ever happened to me and he is such an amazing person that I couldn’t imagine not having a child with him. I know he will be an amazing father and I am looking forward to see the mom I will become.
Now, on to some items I wanted to share about my pregnancy. I have been very fortunate and have not been terribly sick at all. I had minimal nausea and queasiness but I was exhausted more than anything. For the nausea, I would get small bouts of it during the day at work and I would have a peppermint candy and it would make me feel better right away. I have never known exhaustion like that. I would get up and not know how I was going to get through the day. The overwhelming fatigue kept me from going to the gym or anywhere for that that matter. We planned our trip to Italy before we found out I was pregnant and as it approached, I was nervous I wouldn’t be able to enjoy it. I was concerned that I wouldn’t have any energy but luckily, once I got there, I felt so much better. Vacations have a funny way of doing that.
I’m in my second trimester now and can say that my energy has fully come back and I am feeling great. Everything is going smoothly and can’t really complain about anything. I haven’t had a weird cravings really except that I want soda so badly. I have not been a soda drinker for some time now but all I want is to sneak a sip of coca-cola! I am definitely trying to curb that because I don’t want that to become a habit.
I am due on November 25th, Thanksgiving time! I can’t wait to meet our little baby. This has been an incredible time for me and still in awe of the miracle of life growing inside of me. I hope you enjoy this journey with me and I can’t wait to share my pregnancy fashion with you. I’ve still been wearing my heels even though I have been checked many times by older relatives and friends who get upset with me every time. I am careful though and make sure to commute to work in my flats but you know how uncomfortable flats are for me.
Thank you for reading,
Andrea
