I’ve finally started gaining some weight. It’s funny hey, you rarely will hear a women say something like that! I gained a few pounds just before I found out I was pregnant and then lost it all right away. I’ve gained approximately 5 lbs so far – seems kind of crazy hey. I’m almost half way through and only gained 5 lbs. Oh well I’m sure it’s going to climb quickly now!
The baby has started moving around a lot lately, or at least it’s big enough that I can feel it now. Exhaustion, terrible sleeps and headaches are now once again the normal state. I hate waking up every morning aching everywhere. The only time I feel half decent when I wake up is when I sleep on the couch. So I guess for the next 20 or so weeks, I’ll be on the couch.
Other than that, this pregnancy is going pretty good. I’m going in for my second prenatal this week and an ultra sound. I think I’m in better moods this pregnancy than last – I’ll have to check with my husband to get his opinion. I feel better emotionally anyway.
At my first prenatal appointment I had told my doctor that I thought I was having another boy. He laughed and asked me how I came up with that theory. I told him that my first pregnancy was pretty good, I felt good emotionally – other than the first initial shock (ask my family & in-laws!). With my second pregnancy I felt like I had bipolar disorder, I felt like I was an emotional wreck. This pregnancy I feel emotionally normal again. I think that the reason the second pregnancy was so emotional was all the extra female hormones! My doctor’s funny, he just laughs and says “Well I guess we’ll see”. I never find out during the ultra sound what we are having. It’s just so cool to go through labour in anticipation – I think it makes labour easier. Just another crazy theory!
