I want to cry, all the time. I usually don’t know if I’m happy or sad. Actually I’m usually both. My thoughts go so rapidly from being so
miserably pregnant to feeling guilty that I feel miserable and feeling like I
should be grateful, which I am. Then I
worry about if something goes wrong with the baby. Then I worry about if something were to
happen to Cody. Then I’m a mess because
I don’t know how to feel with all of these thoughts going through my head in a
matter of seconds.
·
I found myself muttering under my breath about
how Cody always leaves the cupboard doors open, that is one of my biggest pet
peeves. I about lost it when I was done
doing dishes and the cupboard door was open.
I don’t know why he always does that!
Somehow he managed to sneak out of the shower and do it all while I was
doing dishes without me knowing it. Then
I realized it is really me that is my biggest pet peeve (I am only now
realizing this).
·
The same night I was putting a load of laundry
in. After I sorted through two huge
piles of clothes to find what I needed Cody mentioned that he needed
socks. Seriously?! After I just went
through those piles you tell me this?!
Let’s just say I never used to be this testy.
·
The other day I was in bed and rolled over while
looking down at my belly. I gasped. Then I started laughing hysterically because
I had forgotten how big it was. Then I
started to cry.
·
Cody will tell you that my favorite quote these
days is, “I’m HUNGRY!”
·
I can’t ever get comfortable in bed. I’m used to laying on my belly while I
sleep. I’ve been trying to train myself
for months to sleep on my side but I still haven’t gotten used to it.
·
I wake up in the middle of the night obsessing
over crazy things. Last night I woke up
obsessing that I needed to go buy pads right
then because I forgot that I would have to wear them after I had the
baby. I am constantly worrying about
what we need to still get for the nursery and the baby.
·
People tell me I look bigger every day. Well guess what people… I FEEL bigger every
day.
·
I have really vivid dreams. The other night I dreamed that our baby had
just barely come home from the hospital and Cody’s little sisters were feeding
him candy! I was livid. Haha.
·
I noticed that once you get a ring on your
finger the number of guys that check you out at the store dramatically
decreases. Just wait until you have a
baby bump. You barely get eye contact
from men- they’re too busy trying to dart away
from the closest pregnant lady.
·
You get to have dessert after every meal, if you
want it. Ice cream 3 times a day is completely reasonable if you ask me.
·
I feel like I need physical touch… but then I can hardly stand when Cody tries to
cuddle me because I get so claustrophobic.
·
I’ve forgotten half of the list I wanted to
write. I am always trying to “pin” my
thoughts in my head before I forget them.
Dang it… if only that worked!
As a side note:
I am incredibly grateful for this little guy
and I can’t wait to be a mommy. These
are just a few of the crazy things that happen when I’m pregnant. There are so many fun things that go along
with pregnancy. I love feeling our
little guy move and I love it when Cody can feel him too. I have loved being able to see him on the
ultrasounds; It makes it feel so
real. I love seeing his heart flutter
and hearing it beat, I love seeing him move around like crazy. I know that he is going to be a stubborn
little guy (just like his parents) because so far he’s definitely proved to be
stubborn. We love him so much and we can’t
wait to be parents!
