I’m still here!
Published April 16th, 2007 in Me.It feels like it’s been forever since I’ve written anything. And it also feels like I have nothing to say. This pregnancy really has me screwed up. I’ve got absolutely no desire to do anything. I don’t remember feeling like this the first time. But this is boring… So, check this out. Friends, family, websites, magazines, doctors will all tell you that every pregnancy is different - but who actually believes that? I do — now!
New stuff this time around -
Migraines - these are definitely not in the least bit fun. I don’t even normally get headaches so being sidelined by a “migraine with aura” (vision oddities) was frightening to say the least. Thankfully I’ve only had two so far.
Moving teeth!- I’ve got a space between my two front teeth. There’s a name for this but I don’t remember it - it’s caused by extra gum tissue and the only fix is capping or adding a space filler prosthetic tooth thingy. Neither of which appealed to me so over the years I’ve learned to love my space. ANYWAY - I noticed recently that everything I eat is getting stuck in my little tooth space. Upon further inspection I notice that the space is about 1/2 the size it used to be. Cool! Does anyone have some floss?
Thunder Thighs - Earlier I said my belly had already expanded to the size it was when I was 4 months last pregnancy. It seems my thighs have already expanded to full term thunder things. This is not right. The only thing that’s keeping me from being totally depressed is that my thighs were the first things to disappear when I lost the pregancy weight last time. I’m hoping hoping hoping to have the same result this time around. I can dream!
I’m… Blah - Last pregancy I was a barrel of laughs. This time I feel like the biggest wallflower ever. Nothing is exciting - I’m not even really into the pregancy this time. I’m a little concerned but am holding out hope that this is just a symptom that will disappear with the nausea once I hit the second trimester. Don’t get me wrong - I’m very happy to be pregnant and am really looking forward to having a larger family. I’m just not so into reading about or worrying about my pregancy. Is that weird? On some level I’m more relaxed - so that’s good. But I feel like it’s going to be years before I actually have this baby. But then… I’m sure once I’ve got 2 to chase around I’ll be fondly remembering this time.
Any thoughts or advice for me?
