So far I have failed to see how being pregnant is
wonderful and beautiful. I mean, yes I’m growing a
tiny human being inside of me and that is amazing, but the process has been
fairly unpleasant and that is being very nice. I’m starting to think that all these women who’ve told me that they
loved being pregnant or that their pregnancy was so wonderful are lying or
crazy. I mean seriously it's been a rough road so far!! I gag whenever I brush my teeth,
picking an outfit out in the morning is a daily battle, and my feet are killing me all the
time. Even when I’m sitting or trying to
sleep my feet are killing me. It’s like
I’m wearing socks that are too tight.
Plus I’m still getting morning sickness at least a few times a week. It just comes out of nowhere; I throw-up, and
then go on with my day. The morning sick
at this point may be the least of my inconveniences. The rash on my stomach and hands is up there
at number one with my achy feet as a close second. Also, sleeping through the night is a distant
memory that I’m pretty sure I’m not going to experience again for 18
years. I am typically a stomach sleeper,
so finding a new comfortable position is not really working for me. And I’m not even that big yet!! But when I do
lie on my stomach it’s like I’m lying on a billiard ball. Needless to say, I have a difficult time
falling asleep and staying asleep.
However, on a positive note, I have started to really feel the baby
move. It seems to get stronger and
stronger each day. She definitely has a
little pattern to her day. Typically, I
can feel her moving when I’m lying down in the morning, evening, or bedtime. Although, the last couple of days I have felt
her move a little throughout the day as well. By the way, we did find out we
are having a little girl. She had no
issues letting us know she was a girl at the ultrasound. Not shy at all I guess. LOL
Well, here’s to hoping things do improve during this adventure of
creating life.
