And The Results Are In…

January6

Yep. I’m pregnant.

I found out a few weeks ago, and while I was shocked, I wasn’t surprised at all. I just knew that I was pregnant (which is a pretty weird feeling for someone that has never been prego before). My early pregnancy symptoms were:

- A total lack of energy. As in, it took effort to pick up my feet and walk across the yard

- Insatiable appetite. No matter what I would eat, I would want to eat something else.

- Distaste for alcohol. I thought giving up wine would be REALLY hard, but wine, beer and booze all tastes totally gross now.

- Bloating. I swear I looked pregnant 2 weeks after conception, but it was just pregnancy bloat.

- People looking at you differently. Maybe I just imagined this one, but I swear I would catch random people looking at me and smiling.

Like I said before, I was pretty shocked to find out that I was pregnant. It’s not like Stefan and I were trying to get pregnant, but we wern’t exactly not trying to get pregnant. I did just want it to happen, rather then the whole “let’s try and have a baby” routine. That just seems weird to me. I want a family, but I’ve never looked forward to being pregnant. And while my pregnancy has been comparatively easy (no morning sickness), I’m ready to be not pregnant again. I hate being tired all the time (I feel like a sloth), not being able to workout normally (I’m usually too tired to do anything, let alone my normal 3 mile run) and I don’t particularly enjoying feeling fat. Oh, and my skin is freaaaakkking out. I know, I know….”But pregnancy is beautiful!”. Easy for you to say .

3 months down, 7 months to go (due around July 19th).

   You do look beautiful and you are glowing.

   Remember on Christmas when your pregnancy was still a secret from everyone and one of our friends was looking at a picture we just took on your camera and the ‘two lines’ on the above picture popped up! I thought stuff like that only happened in movies….

   Phoebe: Being pregnant is tough on your tummy.
   Joey: Hey, but at least you got that cool, pregnant lady glow.
   Phoebe: That’s sweat. You throw up all morning, you’ll have that glow too.

   Congrats again you two.

    Hey dont worry, that tired feeling is the strongest in the beginning of the pregnancy. I mean you will be tired the whole time, but the beginning is the hardest on your energy. Goodluck

    oh but once u have the baby u will probably be more tired because of the baby, so it wont help much to not be pregnant lol
