Well, that's it for now, but good news is my baby is now considered a fetus and not an embryo anymore. Making progress. And I am almost out of the first trimester! I am excited about that! I'm hoping to actually show soon instead of just having a fat tummy. Oh, well, I'm going to continue to do my best. I really am trying.

Here Come the Waterworks...
Well, my stomach issues are finally disappearing, but while those are waning, something else has come in the fill their place. Slowly it's crept up, and now there is no stopping it. Yep, its those dang emotions. I can barely keep hold back the tears. It started out as irritability, but it's turned into waves of crying. My husband, who seemed to be bothering me a lot has left me in Washington while I stay for a few more weeks. My heart hurts and I feel lost without him. In church yesterday, I welled up the whole time in Sunday school. This morning after a rough night of not sleeping well, my Dad said it was because I didn't go for a walk yesterday, and that I should really be walking everyday. Not only that but he's be criticizing my eating habits, which by the way aren't even that bad considering I can actually stomach real food now. Excuse me for getting a package of Oreos, Dad. Someone better alert the Obesity Police, you've got a fat pregnant woman here. Yes, I've gained weight, I don't need someone reminding me of that. I thought one of the benefits of pregnancy was getting a free pass to gain weight. Anyway, I know he doesn't mean it that way, and wants to help, but considering that I've felt up to doing more this past week than in the past 2 months, it hurts this hormonal gal's feelings. I had to go lock myself in my room and cry for an hour and I'm still not sure I'm over it.

Yes! You do have a free pass to gain weight...and to cry as often as you feel the urge! Your body is going through something that is absolutely amazing and it has never had those experiences. Enjoy it and make the best of it. Next time your dad criticizes your food choice, hand him some of what you are eating and say "here, have a bite...I'm teaching your grandbaby to share!"
ReplyDeleteYou have a free pass to gain weight and you should enjoy this time of your life. You are raising a wonderful healthy little baby and all is well :) Also please know that when you do infertility treatments it really, really messes with your hormones and then when you add pregnancy it gets even more exciting. So feel free to cry and just relax and enjoy the ride:)
ReplyDeleteFor me and my husband we made sure to talk things out and he also remembered and was kind enough to say that he knew this was A LOT to deal with. Spend time together and go on some dates it HELPS!!! I know from experience.
Oh man, crying is a monthly occurrence when I am pregnant. It was really quite comical afterward. I'd be crying hysterically for a few moments and then all the sudden I was better and would laugh at myself for crying over silly things. Not saying that you are crying over silly things, I'm just adding my crying story. But yeah, I ate junk food all the time (but remembered to take my prenatal vit.) and my girls came out not only healthy but strong as oxen. So just relax, eat, go for some calm walks and it will all balance out.
