incubative state

several weeks ago, taher and i found out that we're going to have a baby. the initial excitement and anticipation i felt soon gave way, however, to sickness and fatigue. for two months, i experienced what many women experience in their first trimester and i learned not to take my health and energy so much for granted. being tired and nauseous every day for two months was upsetting and difficult, and made it difficult to enjoy the knowledge that i was pregnant.

thankfully, things change. as my second trimester begins, i have found my energy returning. i feel better than i have in weeks, and i have a newfound excitement about beginning to look pregnant and the prospect of getting even bigger!
