Ugh….1st trimester….
Now that I am 10 weeks pregnant, I have come to the conclusion that there are a few things I definitely did not miss about being pregnant. First of all, I do not enjoy being pregnant as each of my pregnancies has become more uncomfortable than the last and Ellie’s was by far the most uncomfortable….I am hoping Peanut is kind to me.
I know I did not miss the having to get up and pee every 5-10 minutes. It is really quite the bother and I’d rather have a catheter than get up and go constantly. It never fails, I go, come back, sit down and get situated and get ready to work, eat, sleep or even watch a movie/show and I’m getting right back up to go again.
I am also not a fan of being nauseated 24/7, constipated, pukey and so damn tired that I can’t sleep, want to do nothing but sleep or can’t function at all. This is a daily occurrence.
Now, don’t get me wrong….I am excited to be having another baby and growing our family once again, but in all honesty, the first trimester blows and I am hoping to see a great deal of improvement as the weeks go on and I am keeping my fingers crossed that my SPD doesn’t return for this pregnancy and all the pain that accompanies it stays away. My SPD was the worst part of my pregnancy with Ellie. It started at week 13 and didn’t improve until after birth. Although she is 13 months old now, my pelvis is still not fully healed so fingers crossed things do not worsen as the weeks go by. Stay away SPD!!!!
In other baby news, I am anxious to learn if we will be adding a boy or a girl to our crew and can’t wait to start decorating and preparing for all things baby. We will be pretty much starting over again. Since we thought we were done having babies, we sold and donated almost all of our baby items in the last few months. I’m hoping for another little girl so Ellie has someone closer in age to play with and do all things girly but most of all, I just want a healthy baby.
So, today marks 10 weeks 2 days…..only 29 weeks and 5 days to go!
