My mom mentioned that I should keep a diary of my pregnancy so I can look at it later, etc... I'm not much of a diary person. But I spend 8 hours a day in front of a computer, so I'm more likely to type something than write it down journal-style.
So here it is. My pregnancy online journal.
I am 12 weeks pregnant with my first child. So far what I've learned from being pregnant is this:
Everyone knows everything about being pregnant. Even men, who aren't married or have never had kids of their own.
Perfect strangers will touch your belly and tell you how happy they are for you. (By the way - I'm not really showing yet - not much of a belly to touch)
I cry for no reason when I watch TV.
I yell at people that I would normally just ignore.
The baby hates everything it seems.
Among the list of things the baby hates are green beans, cream cheese, my husband's deodorant, my favorite soap, lotions of any kind, pizza, parmesan cheese, scented candles or house deodorizers of any kind, Febreeze, corn flakes, lobster (smell - I didn't try to eat it), deli mustard,and most green vegetables.
My baby does like Mac & Cheese and TCBY. (Maybe I'm having Becky's baby)
I don't get morning sickness anymore. I get late afternoon-evening sickness instead.
Everything seems to revolve around what I can or can't eat. It's like it's all I can think about. "Is this going to make me sick?" "What is that god-awful smell?" (The god-awful smell can be anything from cinnamon to the litter box)I spend a good portion of my day trying to determine if I'll be sick or not. I'm quite tired of it. I'm also tired in general. I'm the biggest slob on the planet right now. I really really want to reorganize all the closets in my house, but when I get home all I can manage to do is eat some mac and cheese in bed with the dogs.
I hear it'll get better, or worse depending on which "expert" I'm talking to at the time :)
haha! I love it! It's so true how everyone's an expert! Seems like just how every child is different, every pregnancy has differences too. I do remember being soooooo tired and going to bed atleast by 9 all throughout my pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteMaybe by the end, you'll get into that nesting mode and then you can reorganize the closets:)
