First Trimester in Review

WOW! Time has gone by so fast. I can't believe I'm already 13 weeks. Here's what's been going on:

Morning sickness? NOPE not a single day of it. How lucky am I? Extremely is the answer. I've had a little indigestion (nothing tums couldn't handle) but other than that I've been blessed.

Soooo Sleepy: I seriously couldn't keep my eyes open. I took naps in my car during my lunch hour. I mean pre-pregnancy I loved to sleep but now I can't get enough of it. People say it'll pass...I'm waiting.

Hunger: I'm starving All. The. Time. These little boogers love to eat and eat and eat. I'm trying to eat clean but it's not always filling. I won't lie - I've had a cheeseburger or two.

CrossFit: I'm still WODing it up. Of course, I've turned it down quite a bit. Watching my breathing, lowering my weight. This past week I've noticed major differences in my strength. I've gone to knee push-ups. I attempt as many pull-ups as I can, but finish up with ring rows. I quit box jumps as soon as I found out I was pregnant and am doing step ups instead.  Running is out...the back pain has gotten bad. I'm not squatting below parallel...which is EXTREMELY difficult. I won't lie... I stood in the bathroom of the gym and almost cried. It's a humbling experience but I know it's worth it and I'll get my strength back in no time. At least I can still workout.

Mrs. Cranky Pants: Yup, imagine that. I will say it's gotten better then last week but I was a major pain in the ass the first trimester. All those hormones on top of an already crazy lady. Poor Gibby. I thank God he is so patient and understanding.

I've been truly blessed in the pregnancy so far and I'm loving it.

All The Best,
D, LG, and BG
