Pregnant Joy

Lots of people ask me if I am enjoying my pregnancy.

Of course I am.

How could I possibly not?

I am displaying normal first trimester symptoms.

Very delightful really.

For example, I am totally and utterly exhausted and not by the end of the day ... no no... that would make sense. I am already tired when I wake up in the morning.

By evening, I am sleep walking like a zombie.

It is a good day around here if I managed to ensure Buchela is occupied and entertained without accomplishing much else. I can hardly keep up with my correspondences. If you have emailed me and I have not responded, I am sorry. Being an Easy Bake Oven for a little human can be pretty draining.

I also really like puking my guts out because it is sometimes better than feeling nauseous all day long. Throwing up actually breaks the monotony of nausea.

Ohhh. Let's not forget the delights of excess saliva. I am hardly ever thirsty now since I am having to swallow gallons of my own spit.

Getting up in the middle of the night to pee because of the growing uterus pressure on my bladder and waking the sleeping Buchela up along the way? Priceless.

But what I am really enjoying is the depression. I am lovin' it.

Happiness is overrated anyway.

P.S.: For those of readers who have never been pregnant or come with boy parts, yes these are all NORMAL pregnancy symptoms! I can't imagine what it would be like having an "abnormal" pregnancy. SHEESH!

nutmeg's Gravatar Your blog is delightful. I'm so happy I found it. You brought back memories for me with this post. I spit on the women who breeze through three trimesters glowing - never choking on their breakfast or their own spit. Just think, in a few weeks you'll feel life move inside you and it will all feel worth it again!

mollly's Gravatar ohhh, i know EXACTLY how you feel. the only redeeming part of being pregnant is when they start kicking (until it keeps you up at night) and when they finally come out. besides that, i feel you! yuck! hope it gets better soon!

LauraC's Gravatar awww stop your almost making me want to get pregnant again. i also get terrible 24/7 nausea and the rest of the symptoms and the occasional headache. how sad is it that i wasn't kidding about wanting to get pregnant again.

Julie's Gravatar Oh, I remember all of those symptoms. Yuck. And of course it's so much worse when you have a little one to care for while you're feeling that way. I hope you move past this phase soon!!!

I drove by two Panda Expresses yesterday and thought of you, but perhaps you don't feel like eating that anymore now anyway.

Yemi's Gravatar Hi all!

Thank you so much for all your encouraging comments. Even though I know I am not the only one who feels crappy during the first trimester, it is still nice to hear it! I am sure I will survive. I am hanging in there.

Diana, Buchela will not know what hit him when this baby comes. He doesn't yet understand what it all means.
