The First Trimester: Seriously? Was that IT?

I was originally going to make this post about feelings, but.... well, those are gross soooo I think I'll just brag about my easy breezy first trimester instead.

Today marks the end of my first trimester, or the 'wait and see' period as my OB rather sinisterly referred to it as.  My husband's birthday, the day I peed on that fateful stick, seems like simultaneously a million years and 10 minutes ago.  This first trimester has flown by, but since we've been digesting the surprise! there's three people inside of you! news since 6 weeks it's also felt like I've been pregnant for much, much longer.  It's strange, as time tends to be.  At the very beginning I of course read up on all the wonderful things I could expect to experience in the first three months of joining the knocked up club.  And I'm super happy to announce that I only experienced like three of them, and just ever so slightly.

I'm sure I'm the kind of bitch that makes other moms to be spit with rage, and that's perfectly fine with me.  Hate all y'all want, because I have yet to puke, had maybe two days of indigestion and aside from a little bit of food aversion I pretty much had a normal appetite throughout.  They say to expect exaggerated symptoms with multiples but apparently I'm a glorious freak of nature.

The only really pronounced symptom I've had is fatigue.  Growing three fetuses is exhausting, and I've definitely felt that.  I'm tired, I do not wish to be vertical.  I've also had quite a few more headaches than usual.  For a little while I wasn't really nuts about food, the thought of certain edibles made me feel icky and some smells got to me a little.  But I also think the food aversion could be attributed to stress, as the shock of that first ultrasound definitely created quite a bit of that.  But really, that's about it.  Oh, and it occasionally hurts like an absolute MF'er when I sneeze, as my poor uterus is a little taxed at the moment.

So, really from my perspective I don't know what all this first trimester fuss is all about.  A few days where cheese made me a little gaggy and some extra naps?  Pfft, if the rest of this is going to be such a breeze, then bring. it. on.  (I'm sure I will choke on those words in due time)

Oh, and the fetuses share their second trimester birthday with their Auntie Erin Fabulous.  Happy birthday to all four of you :)
