5 Weeks today!
By Jessie22 » Posted Jan. 15, 2014 7:38am - 191 views - 2 comments
While I'm excited I've made it to 5 weeks, I woke up this morning just cranky as all hell. In a nutshell, I'm not feeling so pretty. I've got acne that just keeps coming up on my face and my back (I know, gross!), my boobs still hurt - sometimes not doing anything but sitting at my desk, and I'm getting progressively more and more tired. I wake up tired. I also don't particularly like food right now so I spend most of the day figuring out what small thing I can eat to get the nutrients I know I need without feeling sick. Granted these are all "good" symptoms, but why does performing a miracle of growing another human have to make the grower feel so crappy?
I'm also still scared that after starting this whole process that something will go wrong any day now and it will end in a miscarriage. I've tried to make myself feel better by saying that it's really nature's way of making sure that our baby would be healthy - because that's exactly what happens - and for the most part I can calm down, but cranky Jessie today is not having it. I wake up every day, especially today, wondering "Do I feel better than yesterday? Is that a good or a bad thing?"
I would love to be more rational right now, but today is apparently not the day. Sorry for the crankypants entry, just needed to get it out!

Don't worry, the acne will go away in a few weeks, happened to me too lol. Just eat toast, some fruit when you can, anything that will help ease your tummy. Some days you will feel better than others :) And as far as cranky goes.. well.. its just getting started sister haha, but it's ok, its all worth it and this is what we wanted for all that time. The stress and worry sucks, wish i could comfort you, I feel the same way.. its just one of those things, it will get better as the first trimester ends. <3 lots of hugs!! |
