I am now 14 weeks pregnant and into the 2nd trimester (yay!). I was reflecting on some of my thoughts/feelings/etc. during this first pregnancy and thought I'd document and share them. Some are weird, but I'm pregnant so give me a break!
- It hasn't hit me yet that we're having a baby. I just feel fat.. I hear this is just a stage.
- I don't think my kidneys are working correctly because I have to pee all the time!
- I am finally able to eat meat without disgust.. although I can only eat small portions. Kurtis was about to nuts without meat in his dinner. I can eat anything else though. No random cravings.
- Most smells are OK to me.. however I've noticed that the smell of fresh toilet water is NOT appealing...
- I've been very lucky that I never got 'sick' and threw up during the first trimester. I did get nauseated but I curbed it if I kept snacking during the day.
- However, I am hungry ALL THE TIME and am so sick of eating! Who'd have thought?
- Kurtis has been SOOO patient with me and SOOOO understanding. I can cry at the drop of a hat (not crying, sobbing) and he is just so wonderful about it. He is clueless most of the time, but very comforting and reassuring. I'm so grateful for him. Thanks babe! :)
- I feel like a lazy bum because I get tired so easily. a
- Sleeping on my side is NO fun but it freaks me out whenever I find myself on my back. I feel like I'm killing the baby because they say lying on your back limits blood supply to the baby. Not that it matters, since I don't sleep well lately anyway.
- We scheduled the ultrasound for January. I'm trying to reassure myself that everything will be fine (or as it should be) and that I'm only having 1 healthy baby. (Twins run in my family...eak!)
- I feel so grateful that Heavenly Father has given us this baby and me the chance to be a mother. I can't wait. :)

yay I'm so excited for you! I can't wait to go in and hear the heart beat and for the first time yesterday I looked in the mirror and realized that I wasn't fat (although I am terrified the doctor will tell me that next week!) But it's a baby bump! Now I'm excited and having lots of baby dreams ;) Yay for being pregnant!
I'm so excited for you Julie! Pregnancy is so amazing! I was nervous about everything when I was pregnant with Paige, so I totally understand how you feel. I made myself crazy worrying about all the things that could go wrong. I wish I could have relaxed a little.
Oh, and I totally remember just feeling fat. That was kinda depressing. But it seems like all of a sudden you pop out and you'll finally feel pregnant. Its all so fun and exciting!
Ahh Julie! I love that we get to share these experiences. I too freak myself out at night if I roll on my back..so sad. Good times, keep recording all these feelings. Put them in the baby book!
