So I decided to share a little bit about how my life has changed since finding out I was pregnant. I have always dreamed of what it would be like to be pregnant one day. Especially when I saw other girls who were pregnant. You always wonder what you will look like when it happens to you! Well for the most part (up until 20 weeks) I was feeling pretty grand about myself. Now this is excluding the horrible nausea and vomitting I have been experiencing...for all those women who get rid of it by 16 weeks I am very jealous!!! For some reason I have not been able to kick that yet...and my doctor tells me I just might be a puker for the whole pregnancy..yippee!
Now, I have two older sisters who have 5 kids between the two of them..so needless to say I have been around pregnant women enough to know what it does to your body. That doesnt matter though when it happens to YOU! Along with the hormones and cravings and weight gain..you just want to feel pretty. SO in comes all the annoying questions to my husband.."Do you think I am too fat?", "Do I look huge?", "Are you still attracted to me?" hahah and they keep going and going and going poor guy! Then you have to worry about those dreaded stretch marks. Lord please help me I am only 25 and I am too young for those so I soak myself in lotions twice a day!
The other great thing about pregnancy is everytime I go into a public place I wonder what people are thinking about me..."is she pregnant?" or "maybe shes just a little bigger in the tummy" I know this sounds so silly and really it is but your brain is telling you all these crazy things and then it messes with you! Also, If I go out to eat and I end up eating the dessert on the table or whatever else it is then you feel guilty and think everyone is judging you cause you look so huge lol!
So I am now 21 weeks along and it seems that my belly has really changed!! I am feeling all sorts of weird movements in there! Lots of kicking and squirming around and just yesterday 2 straight kicks to my bladder (PAINFUL!!) My sweet little boy is very active! The other great thing is in the morning when I try to roll over and get out of bed I feel like a 80 year old women! Waking up 20 thousand times in the middle of the night does not help the situation and you just wish you could sleep longer than one hour! You probably think that all I am doing is complaining and to tell the truth as much as some of these symptoms bother me I would do it over and over and over again for this life that God has allowed me to carry. God did His part to bless us and now I am doing mine. (I remind Jarred that his time is coming soon! lol) Thankfully I have a wonderful husband who reminds me that he still thinks I am the most beautiful woman to ever walk the earth (and trust me that helps a ton!!) I cant wait to get bigger and fatter and enjoy the last half of my pregnancy. Every day I notice something different and even though it may be irritating it does remind me that I have a little boy in there who is growing and getting stronger! So yes, I guess that is me in the mirror and I better get used to it!! haha
