hello there...so it has been awhile. I am now 29 weeks pregnant, and just 11 weeks shy of giving birth. I cannot believe time has gone by so fast. I don't even know what happened to February. I woke up, went to work, went to sleep, then it was March.
My pregnancy has been wonderful. I feel good. I don't feel sick and I haven't really had anything to complain about except for the sleepiness and fatigue, that I think could be blamed more for the long and daily commute to work, than to the pregnancy itself.
Although for the most part, my pregnancy has been great - I am constantly worried about her well being. I worry that my belly is smaller than other pregnant women, that she doesn't move as much as I think she should, and I make up these scenarios in my head that could go wrong. My co-worker said that it is normal, given my personality, and the fact that I have never been a mom before. I like to be in control of things. I like to know exactly what to expect, what is going to happen, how it is going to happen, and how to make sure it is going to go according to the mapped plan. Motherhood however changes all of that, and throws it out the door. You just do not know what you are going to get. Will she cry a lot? Will I be a good mom? What if she gets sick? Did I eat something bad that could affect her development?
I need to learn how to relax, and just enjoy the experience. I really should be thankful that I have an easy pregnancy thus far, and that from what the doctors can see - everything is okay and normal.
My tummy is round as a ball. I am carrying high, but I usually feel the baby just under my belly button (no stretch marks yet! yey!).
I think her head is down there now, and she is now in birth position. She wakes me up at night and I usually have to go to the bathroom every two to three hours. When I hold my pee, the little brat wiggles around until I use the restroom.
Until next time. I have to cook.
