I 100% avoided taking an 8 week photo. And I know I may kick myself for it one day, I don't care. My belly is enormous. People may laugh at this, and Mitch tells me I'm crazy. But I know. I know it's already HUGE and I'm not even supposed to be showing yet! I'm slightly concerned the size is not normal. And now that I'm at 10 weeks, I have my first appt on Tuesday, wherein I will speak to my midwife about it. If SHE says it's normal and I'm not unnaturally large OR crazy I will then take my next baby bump photo.
Also, when in the world do I start wearing shirts that "show off the baby bump?" I feel like I'm wayyy too early for that, although my baby doesn't seem to think growing at a potentially alarming rate will affect me and my body image. It surely does.
All the talk about a baby girl..and now I think I'm having a boy. Boys are cute...I see cute little boys everywhere and the thought has grown on me :) I'd seriously be happy with either now.
Being pregnant is wonderful, but the way in which my body reacts to being so, is terrible. I have every complaint a pregnant woman has ever had in the first trimester. I just hope my upchucking will stop in the upcoming weeks, although I'm hearing of more and more women that it did not leave until the baby left. The very worst of it is feeling sick, all day long. The second very worst is having all food taste gross. The third very worst is that I have not had a normal BM since that stick said yes.
People tell me it's worth it though! :)
Mal, remember how you said you always wanted twins? Your wish is totally coming true.... Maybe you'll have a boy AND a girl! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the funniest blog post ever. I know that you're being serious and I'm just laughing at your expense, but you're too cute! Welcome to the wonderful world of pregnancy :) By the way, I felt really weird about having a boy. The second he was born though everything that everyone told me about having a baby boy completely made sense to me. You know how you felt about the first boy you ever had a crush one? That's how it feels. Haha! He's like my little boyfriend. I am completely obsessed with the kid. You'll know exactly what I'm talking about if that little peanut turns out to be a little boy(or two) :) Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy. The second trimester is in another few weeks and hopefully you'll feel better!
ReplyDeleteYou and your brother and sister were definitely worth every second or hint of pregnancy discomfort.
