it’s true that most women know more about pregnancy, birth and babies by the time they’re in junior high than i do at 29. my saving grace has been all of the other moms in my life, especially those that i am closest to who aren’t afraid to tell me like it is. thank you…well kind of.
all-in-all the
reality of the first 13 weeks of pregnancy was hardly what i expected. Iihave
been elated sure, but have felt stronger feelings of nervousness, anxiety, and
annoyance than anything else. sorry baby
sobo! i’m assured these feelings (along
with the nausea and vomiting) will ease.
we shall see.
feeling:
- is this real? then I wake up sick and am quickly reminded that, yes, this is real.
- motherhood expectations are high these days….i better be realistic.
- bloated, nauseous, exhausted
cravings:
- orange Juice
- macaroni and cheese
- popsicles
avoiding:
- coffee
- grilled chicken (occasionally)
daddy update:
- assures me he’s excited
- wants to name the baby ‘aleece friend’ (aka allie’s friend), rango or buschwacker. all have been nixed.
- has gotten very good at giving me washcloths and water after i throw up.
living in:
- nothing’s changed…yet
longing for:
- more energy
- a run longer than 4 miles
- less frequent nausea
