I have been wanting to do a blog on the Love Hate relationship I have with being pregnant.
I have decided to start with the things I love about being pregnant...
- Being able to feel the butterfly baby movements.
- Eating pretty much whatever I want for 10 months (as long as I can keep it down)
- Strangers smile at me
- Knowing that I can grow a human. A human. Wow
- That I am now gaining the title mom of 2. Again, mom of 2 kids. Wow again.
- People taking care of me.
- The fact that on the first try, twice now we have gotten pregnant. I understand that I am lucky to be able to do that.
Now onto the not so happy things, sad but the petty things that I hate will probably out weigh the things I love by far. So I hate...
- Kankles
- Numb limbs
- Blurred vision
- Back ache
- Sore ribs
- Weight gain
- Nausea
- Big sore boobs
- Lack of energy (this is a big one for me!)
- Bleeding gums, and nose
- Peeing
- No sleep
- People making comments
- My lack of patience
- Not being able to pick up Mia often
- Wanting to do so much, but I can't
- Braxtons (timing them too)
- Thinking about a human coming out of my crotch. Again. shudder.
These are the things I can think of now. I still Love being pregnant, and I know how lucky we are that we can get pregnant quickly. I just hate that there is so much little crap I have to deal with for almost a year! But being able to make our family what we want is worth all the evil little things. I really just want my energy and my body back. So I can focus on my family and our life together.
