1st Trimester
Excited about being pregnant
Tell everyone the wonderful news
Spend most of the time bending over the toilet
2nd Trimester
Can finally eat again
Start buying maternity clothes
Flattered by everyone telling me how "small" I am
Tired all the time
Find out we are having a boy
Feel the baby move for the first time
Have the same conversation with everyone I meet based on the following questions:
-When are you due?
-What are you having?
-What is his name?
Eat ice cream
Start having random emotional spurts.
Freak out about stopping my job, try to work a bunch of extra shifts, become exhausted
3rd trimester:
Eat more ice cream
Start swelling up
Become a mosquito magnet
Tired
Realize noone talks about how "small" I am anymore
Feel like my body exploded overnight
Start to get uncomfortable
Get tired of all my maternity clothes
Buy more maternity clothes
Freak out about how small the house is- begin frantic reorganization of entire house
Eat ice cream
Shop for baby clothes for the first time. Realize it takes a large fortune to clothe a baby. Freak out.
Turn up the air conditioner
Continued emotional instability
Freak out about labor and delivery
Eat ice cream
Freak out in general about everything. Mother comes to visit for a week which turns out to be very theraputic.
Start to decorate baby room.
Attempt to shop for a formal for wedding next weekend. Look huge in everything I put on. Walk out empty-handed and hope noone wants to take pictures of me.
Eat more ice cream.
Hmm... that pretty much brings us up to the present. It has been a quite an adventure so far and I know there is plenty more to come!

It's almost over...hang in there, Anna!
Anna, guess what? I sat down to read your blog site and you know what I was eating? Ice cream! I wonder where you get your taste for it...h-m-m-m, Love, Mom
This too shall pass....
I remember those days. Hang in there! Sure would love to see another picture of you. :-)
I'm just now reading this. There have been hard times, but Anna has been a joy throughout these seven months. --away, Caleb
Anna! I remember those days with great fondness and laughter! The reward in the end is so beautiful. Hard to imagine at this point but there are days that I wish I were pregnant again b/c feeling him move and the closeness was just so amazing! Hang in there!
Haha...you are so funny! I promise it will all be worth it in the end. Pregnancy does bring a lot of "freak outs"...I remember vividly those times.
It won't be long until we can meet the little guy!
This is HILARIOUS! Thanks for sharing. Pray for you and Caleb each day.
You're so cute Anna!
Put up some pics of the baby room and you. =)
Glad you have ice cream and a kind husband.
