Venting

So I guess I haven't really talked about how I'm feeling during this first trimester, which I might add, seems to go on F-O-R-E-V-E-R. We went to the Dr on Tuesday for my monthly checkup (Friday's ultrasound was at the hospital for the Nuchal Translucency Test). I told him how on Friday they measured that I should be 13 weeks by now, but he disagreed and said the measurment he first took at 8 weeks is more accurate. I beg to differ. But he is the doc so I obliged. The due date stands at April 7, 2007. I am now 12 weeks 5 days.

Can I just say that I can't WAIT for the second trimester to begin. The nausea, the extreme tiredness-so much so that sometimes I wonder how I'm going to make it across the street, the heartburn/indegestion, the constipation, the gas pains, the bloating, the crankiness, just everything! I told David that whatever you don't want, you get more of in pregnancy. But I know it's all for the greater good of having a little one so I will do what I have to do.

The thing that I think I hate the most is the constant peeing! I must get up 3 to 4 times a night to go. I NEVER wake up in the morning feeling rested. David said it will get better. No I told him, I will not sleep from now until that child is past the toddler stage. It's all downhill from here as far as sleep is concerned.

The symptoms began to subside end of last week. I was thrilled! I finally thought I will begin to really enjoy the pregnancy. But then this Monday BAM! it's back. More tiredness and nausea than EVER. What the hell? At least I've never gotten to the point where I've gotten sick like some women. I guess it aint so bad after all. And my belly is showing a little (already wearing maternity stuff!) so that is good news. Thankfully I loaded up on stuff from Target and Old Navy over the weekend. Gotta love 'em!
