So I'm almost 16 weeks now! When I first found out I was pregnant (Feb. 23 to be exact...) I thought the time would just slow waaaaay down.. nope. Here I am at almost 16 weeks and I found out what I'm having in just a week from this coming Monday! YAY! So excited. I thought I'd share some of the crazy that has come along with this pregnancy...
**Insane mood swings. You think you're moody on your period... haha you have no idea. I've gone from hysterical laughter to bawling in literally two seconds. Leaves my husband saying "whats wrong!?!? What did I do?!? Are you ok?!?" Lol I'm just glad he hasn't just given up on me. Today he called and I started crying for no real reason except to say that I just wasn't feeling well and he listened quietly and let me cry until I apologized and told him I'd call him back. He puts up with so much.
**Feeling exhausted all the time. It was way worse from about week three to week 14. So I'm feeling better now. But I used to come home from work and crash on the couch and not move until my husband got home or even later.
**Bloating and gassy. There really isn't a need to explain that one.
**Stuffy nose. I wake up around three every night and can't get back to sleep because of my stuffy nose. You may not think this is a symptom of pregnancy but it is! Its because of the increase of blood flow throughout your body. So when I finally do fall asleep again I wake up every ten minutes because my mouth and throat are dry. So annoying.
**Aversion to foods I used to love. At during my first trimester I went from being able to eat a whole half pound hamburger (ask my sister... I did it twice.), to not being able to eat red meat at all. Everytime I saw a carls jr. commercial I wanted to gag myself... but really, who likes carls jr. anyway? I'm ok with red meat now though so its ok... good thing too because we're going to Rodizio for our anniversary. :)
**Increased appetite. Its pretty much doubled. And I'm always hungry.
**Either freezing or burning up. I find myself turning on the AC in the car when its raining outside. Or in the coldest room down in the spa where I work, I sweat during my massages. Now I'm sitting in my parents supposedly warm house with a coat on and my feet are turning into icicles.
So I didn't mention morning sickness or soreness... symptoms you almost always hear about with pregnant women. Well I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I never threw up. I even worried for the first few weeks because I wasn't having any of the major symptoms. But here I am, very pregnant and I can't wait to find out what we're having.
you think all those pregnancy symptoms are bad, Just you wait! they get better =P! Maybe you should start putting photos up every 4ish weeks so we can see how that belly is coming along! SO excited for you!
