If you would have told me last year, that at this time I'd be having a baby in about 3 months, I would have laughed my butt off and kicked you in the shin! But honestly, it's been pretty OK. Everyone asks me how my pregnancy has gone, and in all, it's gone pretty well. Though, when I'm thinking about it, I had close to every symptom in the books! Nausea ALL day, sore muscles, tired all of the time, mood swings, etc. Now when I say mood swings, I don't mean that one second I'm laughing, and the next I'm crying. (I hear that comes in a few months.) Just the fact that I can be in a GREAT mood one second, and then one little, tiny thing will be said or done, and I'll be upset. And little stupid things would make me cry. I'm SO glad that part is over!
Middle of the Second Trimester, everything really calms down. I start getting cute and round and taking pictures all of the time. The only thing I had to worry about is having enough food to keep me satisfied. All of the books say, "Eat about 6 small meals per day, not 3 large ones." Well duh! You get hungry about every 2 hours anyways! Of course I'm going to eat. The only bad thing, is that you CANNOT go out to places like Claim Jumper, or other large-plate places. You want to eat, and you're starving, but you sit down to eat, and you can only eat a small to fair amount of food. I'll be sitting there, looking at my half eaten plate thinking, "OK, 10 minutes ago, I could have eaten our waiter... what happened?" It's kind of annoying. And I hear that it really doesn't change until the baby is born.
As I'm (almost) starting my 3rd Trimester I keep thinking to myself, "March is NOT as far away as I thought it was." I remember thinking back in August (when we found out I was preggo) that March seems sooo far away, and I'll have all of the time I need to do whatever, and I'm going to feel like I've been pregnant forever. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LAST FEW MONTHS?!?!?! I swear God left out October and November, and don't even get my started on September... I don't remember it! Now March is looming in the distance, getting closer and closer with each passing day. It's terrifying!
Most of you know that I'm a huge baby! I'll never get a tattoo, or get anything pierced because I know that I can't handle pain. Don't even get me started on labor and delivery... SO not ready for that mess... literally.
The part I'm focusing on is my Baby Sower. I'm really into the date of February 22nd right now. Matt and I have picked out our invitations, and we're doing a lot of menu planning and everything. Though, the decision to include guys as well as the girls, is a little weird. The only consolation is that we have multiple guitars for Guitar Hero and my mom has a Wii in her living room as well as a bunch of other games that are fun. Now, because of the guest list, we might have to look into one of the rooms at our church. Not exactly what I was thinking of, but my mom's house is only so big, and there is NO WAY we could hold anything here at the apartment. Too small and parking suuuucks! I want to go look at decorations tomorrow, but we'll see how things go.
So all in all, First Trimester sucks, Second is better, and I'm freaked out about the Third. It's a good day.
