Delayed Symptoms
By Eluria88 » Posted Feb. 13, 2014 10:20am - 171 views - 0 comments
So weeks 1-10 I had no symptoms aside from sore breasts. No nausea, no fatigue, cramping, spotting, nothing at all! Come week 11 and the nausea and fatigue hit me like a bus on the freeway. Suddenly I want to sleep all day, waking only when my stomach screams for food, and even then everything sounds gross and makes my stomach churn. I have a pregnancy journal that has a bit of info for everyday and a couple apps on my phone I use to track progress of baby, and ALL of them are saying "your symptoms should be easing up right about now" oh yeah try JUST BEGINNING. What is up with you little baby!?
I can't really complain though, I am loving the fact that at last I FEEL pregnant. All the doubt and worry that baby wasn't progressing because my symptoms were non existent is fading. My breasts do feel better though, they still feel huge (huge for me is a B cup) but I can at least touch my arms to them without wanting to cry.
Hoping this weirdness of delayed symptoms is a sign that this one is a little girl! I would be so happy! I'd also be thrilled for my third little boy, but there's something about a mom and daughter I want to have so badly. My mom raised my twin brother, my little brother and I alone, I always saw how hard she tried, how difficult working nights and being up all day to help us with homework was. She spent any extra money she had to let us go to movies, do normal kid things with our friends and participate in sports. She gave me 12 years of ballet, 8 karate belts and the self confidence to get through school with a 4.0, state representative for our school's general knowledge team and 3 science awards (okay I'm a geek). I did things nobody would expect a child of a single parent could do, I had and still have a closeness with my mom that cannot be matched. She was my hero, my best friend, and a stern parent when she needed to be. I never did drugs, didn't drink until I was 21 (well she let me have a wine cooler every 4th of july starting when I was 16 but hey :P), and I have the deepest respect for her, I never went through the rebellious "i hate my mom" stage.
Here's a picture of us as pirates at my kids' 3rd & 4th Birthday party, just for fun :)
I guess part of me just REALLY wants to have this with my daughter, I just hope I can do as great of a job as my mom did. Being a stay at home mom is great, and I'd hope it would make things easier for me. It doesn't matter though, I have 2 little boys that are the sweetest little dudes ever and another boy like them would be just as thrilling, I just want a healthy little baby to hold in late august/early september. Heck I wouldn't even argue with a mild disability, as long as I've got time to get to know my little one.
