Appointment July 1st

I have an appointment tomorrow. I don't anticipate any amazing news, but I will post what I find out. I will definitely be asking if there is anything that can be done about this stuffy nose thing I have been having.

I am still feeling fat, instead of pregnant. The pregnancy clothes are too big and my normal clothes are too tight. Not feeling as tired as a couple weeks ago, but still ready to take a nap anytime.

I will post tomorrow...

Napping for 2?

I know this is redundant but I am so tired. Since when pregnant you are doing everything for 2, eating, cleaning blood, breathing, etc. does that mean I get to nap for 2 as well? Some days I get so tired that I want to go to bed at 6pm and other nights I can stay up until 11 or so. I need to find something to energize me...

Guilty about dumping so much on my husband...

Useless....

Intimidated.....

Excited....

Bloated....

Hungry....

Fat

I am feeling so fat right now. Anyone who has had a baby will know what I am talking about. I am at that stage where, you don't really look pregnant, you just look fat. And with the added bonus of having bouncing hormones, I want to cry every morning when I have to get dressed. I have pregnancy clothes to wear, but they just seem to make the situation worse. They expand out automatically and it just adds to my illusion that I am fat, not pregnant.

Sleeping

I feel so bad for my hubby. I just get completely exhausted by the end of the day and I have to collapse and go to sleep, sometimes even before our little one does. I am still fighting off this cold thing along with my wonderful summer allergies. I am always feeling stuffed up and can't breath. I can't wait for summer to be over. I am ready to snuggle into wintry clothes and be big with baby.

I want to do so much around the house, but can't find the energy. It is soooo frustrating!!

Appointment update

At my last appointment we were able to see the heartbeat of our little baby. Since last time we used fruit, this time we are using vegetables to describe the size of our little one. So, until otherwise noted our baby is dubbed "Butter-bean" Reeves. Look for more updates on me and Butter-bean as the days go by.

A lot more tired

With this pregnancy I am getting tired a lot quicker than I remember last time. Right around 3pm-ish I really start to slow down and sometime between then and 8pm I take a nap. Today, since our washer broke, I was doing laundry in the laundry mat and it just about killed me, I was there about 1:30 and with all the loads at once (12) and the heat and so much folding, my poor little body just couldn't handle it.

I am also feeling very dehydrated, I can't seem to get enough water. And this coming from the lady who drinks 2 gallons of watter a day. My lips are dry and I am never quenched. I guess I need to step it up and drink more, especially since it is summer.

I do find myself yearning for the pregnancy to be over, not because I feel bad, but because I want to meet my new little one, although I love being pregnant. At no other time do you feel like more of a goddess, even though you know that the end result is a little bit of you and your mate depending on you in a continually thankless job of being Mom. Every mom out there knows that when the smile at you with their needy little eyes and give you a filled with delight giggle it makes everything that has happened and everything that will happen totally worth it.
