10 Weeks and Not Feeling so Pregnant Anymore

So I am 10 weeks 2 days today and the reality that I am pregnant has kind of fallen off. I think a big part of it is that some of the more prevalent, albeit mild symptoms I was having have kind of gone away. I don’t feel nearly as bloated as I was and I am not experiencing as much queasiness either. The most severe constipation has subsided (at least for now) and I haven’t been really crampy in more than a week. I no longer seem to be waking early everyday either. My breasts however have grown significantly and are pretty damn sore and although I am not a walking zombie anymore, most days I am still fairly tired.
Now I know that it is just my body adjusting to the hormones and I am sure there is plenty more in store for my future. By no means am I complaining, but most days I feel just fine and wouldn’t know that I was pregnant if I didn’t know that I was pregnant.
My husband tells me last night that he is a little scared about having a baby and my only thought is well we aren’t there just yet babe. I told him that I don’t think the reality has really sunk in for me. When I think about the future and what is in store (the good, the bad and the ugly) it still feels more like an idea than it does an eventuality and it’s hard to muster up the excitement that I think that I am expected to have. That doesn’t mean that I am not excited or that I don’t want this enough, believe me I do and I would be crushed if this were taken away. I think that’s kind of part of the issue, I am still a little anxious that something may go wrong and I don’t want to let myself get totally invested until I know that it is really, really happening.
I have another appointment next week at 11 weeks for an early blood screening and I hope that we will get the chance to hear the little heartbeat at that time. We will be able to find out the sex of the baby from that screening if we wish and I am pretty sure that I will just have to know. I think that might go a long way to putting my mind at ease at least for a little while anyway. (5/31)
