What torture that was! I had never felt so sick in my life :(. All day nausea with vomiting (2-3 times a day), dizziness, extreme fatigue, constant bloating, horrible gas pains, and excruciating hunger. It was completely debilitating and I actually felt like I was going to die. While every inch of me was so grateful for this gift, feeling horrible every single day for 7 weeks straight really took away the excitement of the pregnancy for a while there. <\/p>\n<p>The bright side of it all? Other than the obvious little peanut growing inside of me, Chris had been a  rock by my side. I had never seen him in this light before. Completely and utterly selfless throughout my sickness and did everything he could to help. I am so blessed to have this man and going through this has made me fall in love with him even more. I have a sneaking suspicion that there will be a whole lot more falling in love as we journey through the ups and downs of life and as we grow and bond deeper with each other with each experience. :) I thank God everyday for you, Chris.<\/p>\n<p>So then the second trimester came like a knight in shining armour! YAY!! All other symptoms have subsided or completely gone away and I am just dealing with fatigue now. I&#8217;ll take it!! I&#8217;ve accepted that it&#8217;s probably going to be a part of me until the 9th month and I&#8217;m okay with it. I&#8217;ve been able to get back into the groove of things a whole lot more the past few weeks with LOTS AND LOTS of sleep to get me through. :)<\/p>\n<p>We are 16 weeks 3 days today and are sooo over the moon about our little human in the works! We&#8217;ll be three in February 2018!! What an absolutely incredible and incomprehensible thing to create LIFE. We are in awe. God is so good and we are so blessed. I can&#8217;t wait to capture our journey here as we embark on the next chapter so stay tuned!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/profile.jpg\" alt=\"profile\" width=\"540\" height=\"767\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18277\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/profile.jpg 540w, http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/profile-450x639.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":null,"protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[17,32],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.2.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Soon we&#039;ll be three! :) - Charlene Precious Co.<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"http:\/\/www.charleneprecious.com\/blog\/soon-well-be-three\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Soon we&#039;ll be three! :) - Charlene Precious Co.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"We are having a baby!!!
