A Look Back to Early Pregnancy

I am in my 27th week of pregnancy, but 26 weeks pregnant.
I am at a point in my pregnancy where I have the energy, motivation, and desire to do. Yes!

Taking a look back at the first trimester...
The first 12-15 weeks of my pregnancy, I experienced sickness that is incorrectly identified as "morning sickness."
Whoever created the term, "morning sickness" is continuing to mislead newly pregnant women.
The sickness should be called, "all day, anytime, even when you sleep sickness."
With this new term, women will know what to expect and will adjust much faster than the confusing term known as, "morning sickness." 
Moving on from the "sickness," my level of energy decreased as well.
I can recall going to my car to escape my internship and take a nap for 15-20 minutes so that I would have the energy to listen to people.
Balancing my internship, with graduate classes, newly married, living thousands of miles from my closest friends and family, adjusting to the "California culture" required more energy than my body was exerting during this time.
But as always, with strength from God and the support of family and friends, I managed to get through that time.

MOOD SWINGS! Okay, okay, okay, OKAY. I know I already have mood swings, hence the name of my blog.
However, the hormones produced during pregnancy are indescribable! Just ask my husband :-) Kristine and Mother, I think of you whenever one of these "pregnancy mood swings" sneaks up!
