Oh, Baby!! Week 8 (Post #3)

I've found that my pregnancy seems rather uneventful compared to others.  I still have no morning sickness or any real issues that are truly bothersome..  Which I am VERY thankful for!!  Let's keep it up, baby!  I did have hormonal acne all across my jawline for a couple weeks which was both ugly & painful.. but that has since gone away this past week.  Also, I'm still continuously living in my sports bra.  I wear one morning & night.  When I did try to sleep without one, I woke up feeling sooo, soooo sore.  So I'm not making that mistake again.

My doctor's appointment went well.  I was given an estimate of how far along I was which is exactly what my phone apps had predicted.  They said that when they do an ultrasound, they'll get a more exact reading of how many preggers I am. 

I do have one annoyance.  My emotions are an absolute roller coaster lately & I have such a short fuse.  Sometimes I just feel like there is smoke literally coming out of my ears because of how upset I am.  My husband patiently avoids me until I've cooled off..  I stay mad for a while but then I wake up the next morning & in retrospect don't even think it was a big deal at all.  I'm an emotional wreck.  My husband does say & do something things that he knows bother me.. Before it bothered me & of course, my pregnancy hormones have it REALLY bothering me now.. but I need to remember that this is the man I married.   No one is perfect.  I certainly am not.  I love him unconditionally; as he, me.  He does need to understand though.. I'm more sensitive now than ever before.  And even though a belly bump isn't showing yet, I am growing a child inside me & it is a shocking, unusual, emotional experience that this first time mom has never encountered, & he never will.  Recognize!!

I watched that movie yesterday "What To Expect When You're Expecting".  I've seen it before but I thought I would understand it more this time around, AND I TOTALLY DO!!  I'm feeling lethargic, moody, and so misunderstood!!... but this movie helped ease my grief.  

Til next time. 

Xoxo
