So today the Bump informed me I am officially out of the first trimester! Woohoo! I thought we can all share what we're looking forward to in the 2nd trimester.
I cant wait to EAT AGAIN!!!! The whole food aversion to pretty much everything has put a damper on my life for the last 3 months.
I also would love for my crazy random acne to subside. Chest acne is no ones friend! Cmon pregnancy glow I want you so badly!
Oh oh and my gag reflex needs to chill. Everytime I brush my teeth it's a 50/50 chance I'm going to puke.
Goodbye 1st Trimester! Hello 2nd Trimester!

Re: 2nd Trimester Hopes and Dreams
I also want to feel up to exercising again. My first pregnancy, I was a machine. With this one, I'm barely doing anything. Of course having a toddler doesn't help. But yea, I would like to feel healthy again. But my light is still at the end of a multi week tunnel....

My hopes and dreams for the 2nd trimester are:
1. Less food aversions. I want to eat healthy again! I feel like a blob. It's getting better, and I can eat more things but i'm still eating a lot of "bad" foods.
2. More energy. I'd love to work out and am slowly getting to where i'm less tired but man I have no motivation or desire to be up past 9pm. I want my energy back!
3. For sore boobs to go away
4. I want the big pregnancy boobs everyone is talking about. Life is so unfair, even pregnant I'm still barely a B cup.
P.S. - anyone dealing with acne - best thing for it is to put some coconut oil w/ lavender essential oil on your outbreak. It will heal within a few days. DH had a terrible acne/rash outbreak on his back the other day. Literally, his entire back was bright red. I put coconut oils and tons of essential oils on it and by morning it was no longer red and was down to just a few bumps that were firmed up and healing.
HSG - All clear, ectopic kidney didn't affect uterus (yay!)
CT Adrenal Scan - no tumors!
SA - sperm count excellent, 2% Morphology
March/April IUI scheduled - surprise BFP w/ help of Progesterone - 3/18/2016

I was also a machine last pregnancy even through MS because getting my heart rate up actually helped the nausea. This time I can't do it. I barf.
So yes. I am looking forward to not barfing. barf barf barf. I type that word so much now. My MS is definitely increasing at the moment though. I'm also looking forward to more energy. I keep trying to muster it up but my body just smacks me back down.
I'll also be happy to tell more people. I'll wait to tell people in general til the MS is gone because it actually helps me power through it knowing I need to hide it.
2 weeks to go for me, if it starts with Week 13! That will begin on June 6, which is right after my first appointment.
1. Fatigue. I'd like some energy back, especially so that I can workout. Even if it's something low key. I get home from work and am exhausted, end up laying on the couch and never get my butt off to do a video or just walk on our treadmill. I was fairly active pre-PG and just have not had the energy. Or, if I do something... I am SO tired during, and especially afterwards, that I feel like it's not worth it. I also seem to feel worse afterwards, so again... not worth it.
2. Boobs! They're not as sore as they had been earlier, but I am finally filling my A cups (woo!), but would love to see that size increase that gets talked about. Even a friend of mine who is flatter chested than me got up to a C in her pregnancy last year. C'mon boobs!!
3. Acne... ALL of it. My face has had about 4 bad flare-ups (bumps with at least 2-3 zits inside). But, every day I have new stuff on my chest/back.
4. Eating better, as I just shove food in my face to eat so that I don't feel like throwing up when I do.
5. On that note, to not feeling like I have to throw up off and on during the day. I feel worse at night, and for some reason it's after I eat - and even if I don't eat a ton. Blah.

-I desperately hope my OB gets on the ball and sets us up for the genetic testing we need done.
-I want to eat like a normal human again and not be forced to only eat soup and drink Gatorade.
I'll be 12 weeks Thursday and my next appointment isn't until I'm 15 weeks and I feel like that is so late for the kind of genetic testing we were wanting, and I don't even know that we'll have the testing done at that appointment.
But I'm looking forward to showing actual baby and not just bloat. I totally look pregnant and my mom asked me just how much longer I think I can hide it...but it's not the pretty pregnant look. Boo!
And telling people. I keep getting more more work dumped on me plus coworkers trying to get me to do physical things that I just can't. I'm ready to stop lying about why I can't do running races or pushup challenges...and I'm ready to say I can't take on more work with December- Feb due dates cuz I'll be gone!
Emma & Amelia
So here's to good sleep, yummy food, great sex, increased energy, cute bumps and the premiere parking spaces
I'm still low energy, going to bed unreasonably early, and forget about exercise. I think the gagging has lightened up though! But what I want most is energy. I also caught a bad cough so maybe this week's low energy is due to that?
As PP's said, also can't wait to go public and talk about the most exciting news ever!
All will reveal itself soon enough. First ultrasound is tomorrow!

I am several weeks out as well, but I really hope to not be freezing at some point soon. I'm also getting pretty worn down from just continuing to do everything that I've always done. I'd like to not feel like death.
2nd tri can't come fast enough.

-DH comes back from overseas just in time for 2nd tri, missing all of these wonderful *rolls eyes* moments
-Visiting my family in June, thus finally telling them (I've only told my siblings. No other family)
-Looking pregnant instead of just plain gross.
-Bewbs. I've already seen a small increase, and it seems to be continuing. Seriously something I've looked forward to ever since I was a flat chested teen.
-Possibly quitting my job. Because it's starting to be unsafe.
I also told my boss, mainly because he has almost a month off coming up and I will definitely be showing when he returns. A couple friends know, but that was cos I had questions and it was too weird asking without them wondering anyway.
@squiddy224 - as someone who was barely an A, my boobs have just filled out so I can actually fit into an A... but haven't increased in size really. DH checks them everyday cos I told him that they would (he says he's not a boob guy, but he is)... but they haven't done much. Hopefully they do something, ha. I want boobs!!

For or those of you wanting bigger boobs... Don't! I go from an A cup to a large C and thanks to that I had pancakes. I wish mine hadn't stretched out like that.
Also, although I hope it's not something that lasts the entire pregnancy, I would like to be in control of my emotions again. I have noticed a pattern where if I don't get good sleep, I feel very depressed and irritable the next day, but otherwise I am (mostly) my typical self. So I need to make quality sleep a big priority because I hate feeling like that.
Things that are okay about 1st tri - still fitting into my clothes, MS if nothing else is reassuring, my insides don't feel unbelievably squished yet, I think the 12 week ultra sound is the cutest (lil jumpin gummy bear).
Things that suck about 2nd tri - I have to pee constantly. And even just after peeing, still feel the need to pee. The supreme discomfort begins. While morning sickness may ease up, it took til 22 weeks last time so no guarantees. It's gonna get hot. The moomoos come out.

I have been wanting a boob job for a LONG time. Even just to get up to a full B... so nothing crazy. I discussed with DH and it's still in the cards after we're done having kids. I told him I want to see what happens. More than likely, they'll go back to nothing and I'll need a lift. But, I also told him that I will need all new clothes, since my tops won't fit even a B. I just want to see what bigger feels and looks like on me!

1. Get my energy back! I desperately need/want to work out again but I'm waaaay too exhausted and sick to do so right now
2. To not have to eat every 1-2 hours to keep nausea at bay
3. To have a normal freakin bowel movement schedule! At least better than now. I'll be constipated for 5 days and be in so much pain, and then go non stop for 2 days straight!
4. To get my sex drive back. With my first pregnancy I was an animal but the first trimester I don't even want to be touched!
