So right now i am having contractions that last less than 30 seconds that about every 16 minutes apart. I decided to update here because I need a distraction so I'm not staring at the clock all day. So far its not that bad, just like mild period cramps that go away in a few seconds. I don't want to jinx it, but right now it is very bearable. This could go on for a while and I'm trying to keep from pacing around the house.
I haven't really posted about the pregnancy at all so i guess now is as good of a time as any to do a Retrospect Post.
First Trimester
After getting past the initial shock of your whole world being turned upside-down and beginning to find acceptance into the fact that your life and actions are not just your own things get worse. Morning sickness, something i will not wish upon my worst enemy. To top it off; having to open the pharmacy every day at 8am and not being able to hold down anything, even bile, until around 11am. Puking in a dark filthy bathroom every morning for 2 months is not an ideal way to start your day.
Hormones rage, tempers flare and fear sets in. Can I really do this?
Yes... yes i can.
Second Trimester
Ahh the honeymoon phase... as so many people call it and with 100% truth behind it. The phase where you accept everything that is happening around you and take it with pride. How did i react? I bought freakin' SHOES! Why? I became obsessed with fashion and how i looked showing off my Baby Bump. I loved how cute i looked with a little weight put on. I loved high waist belts that actually stayed high on the waist! I loved the fact that i lucked out with winter fashion this year and how well it catered to my growing maternal body and not having to dish out tons of cash on overpriced maternity clothes. I enjoyed being at work and answering questions about my pregnancy. I especially loved the fact that i could EAT AGAIN!! The one downside was if i let myself get hungry at any point of the day, i felt like death. Easy solution, just eat something! Of course right? Cause the baby needs food, right? Haha yeah... 50lbs later :D Thats okay, i have big boobs now! Who cares about the strech marks on my thighs! Boobies!!
Third Trimester
Hormonal again. Starting to feel gross looking. Missing my pre-preg body. Feeling helpless for not being able to lift and move the ways I used to. I hate asking for help with simple tasks. Abdominal Muscles wont work... uugh hating this. The next day, not caring about a thing except the deli meats i cant eat or the caffeine to stay away from!
Almost there! Excitement sets in one day then its not real the next. Don't wanna go to work anymore, feet and knees ache. Don't wanna answer questions anymore.
Nesting phase sets in... or is it just spring cleaning?
Annnnnd I've walked away from this about 20 times since I started. Things have started to pick up since i started this so I'll end it later.
