I am absolutely no good at being pregnant. Maybe it is because I had resigned myself to the fact that is was never going to happen. What else was I supposed to believe when I was told at 18 years old that I would probably never have kids. I know I'll be fine (hopefully) once the first trimester is over (in three weeks), but this whole morning sickness thing is for the birds. It isn't even just the morning sickness...it is the general lack of my bodies abilities to decide what it wants! For example, I was rudely awakened this morning by the nights/mornings third need to go to the bathroom and then by the insatiable need to eat breakfast. Now I have eaten breakfast and my body seems to be saying "That was a baaaddd idea." Frustrating.
My poor husband is also having some difficulties adjusting to my general moodiness. I feel so bad for him. He did tell me the other day though, "I know I shouldn't take it personally because you're pregnant, but I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong." To which I responded that he wasn't doing anything wrong, our baby has just decided to go through a rebellious stage early in life. I think secretly he's very happy that he wont be with me for the pregnancy - I'm just kidding by the way. He's so cute about it. I would write all the cute and sweet things he does for me, but I don't want to embarrass him. He is very attentive.
"Morning sickness" has hit me really bad, too. I constantly feel sick and uncomfortable. I've only actually gotten sick three times, but it sucks. I hate being sick or feeling sick. I have been living off of TUMS for two weeks and if you know me well, you know I hate TUMS. There are also some changes to my body that are frustrating me. I think it is because I've always been a generally healthy person (give or take a heatstroke and sensitivity to mold) and being sick all the time is messing with me.
I'm sure this will all pass once I'm in my next trimester, but I really wish those weeks would crawl by a little bit faster.
