Can't believe it!
The reality of this pregnancy still hasn't sunk in - even though we've told our peeps now. Some friends, some family... and even with the starting to feel more and more morning (although mine is worst in the afternoon/late evening) sick... I still can't wrap my head around it.
Excited - defintely! But there is something about this weird interim period before you even SEE a DOCTOR where it just doesn't feel real. So far it's been me, alone in my bathroom, peeing on a stick - that just doesn't seem so official. Maybe I should put on my old nursing school lab coat, look at myself in the mirror and say, "congratulations! you're expecting!"
So... afraid to type these words... somehow I feel like morning sickness has been much more manageable this time around! I mean, compared to Z, I can probably handle anything - but even with Ana's gentler version of morning sickness this one seems to take the cake. I have only had the actual, real urge to puke once - at the end of a grocery trip. Groceries + 1st trimester... they have never dealt me well. Don't get me wrong - sometimes I feel pretty gross... but it is usually in the middle of night or right when going to bed which, if I had to choose, is the perfect time to feel awful.
It could also be too that there is no cowering in my room this time. Two littles demand my supervision but come nap time - I am SO out!
Other symptoms include:
- lower back ache! it was pretty consistent a couple weeks ago and now has faded a bit, but when it comes it is pretty intense!
- getting pretty tuckered out if we work too hard. this past week was SO busy and z didn't get to bed before 9 any. night. and so that pretty much wore me out completely!
just waaaaaitin to see someone who knows something!
