It could be amnesia but I’m quite certain my pregnancy with Averie was NEVER this difficult. The discomforts were mild and didn’t last long. Maybe it’s because I was working at the time and it kept me from dwelling on things too much.
But this little guy is really putting me through the wringer. Splitting headaches. All-day sickness that lasted into the second trimester. Placenta previa. SPD pain. And now – heartburn. Oh gosh, the heartburn. It makes swallowing difficult, keeps me up at night, and makes me nauseous. I’ve never had heartburn before – ever! – so maybe it’s not even THAT bad by normal people’s standards, but this is downright miserable. I wonder if the old wives’ tale will hold true and he’ll come out with a full head of hair :P.
OK, venting aside, I’m honestly in good spirits and feeling fine the majority of the time. This cold/sinus and lung infection/whatever it is knocked me flat on my back and it seems it’s been one thing after another. However, after two rounds of antibiotics, I am on the mend and am looking forward to having energy again!
I’m just over 26 weeks now and at my last appointment (2 weeks ago), I was at a net loss of 3 pounds! Since I could’ve stood to lose a few (or more) before I even got pregnant, I’m happy about that, since our baby boy is still growing right on track. As long as I don’t go on a junk-food binge, I should walk out of the hospital weighing less than when I started which makes me a happy girl.
The gestational diabetes test is in about two weeks. I didn’t have GD with Averie, but – silly as it may be – when I was clipping my coupons on Sunday, I clipped the ones for the blood glucose meter and test strips…just in case. Hopefully I won’t need it though!
I am starting to get the nesting urge, but there’s not as much to do here as there was when we were at our own place. Maybe that’s good since I’m so exhausted :P. This guy isn’t getting the luxury, tricked-out nursery treatment that Averie did and even though I know that was more for Chris and me (I DID love decorating that room), I know he won’t care as long as he has a comfy place to sleep.
We’ve got his car seat, bottles, all the baby gear, and even a stash of clothes and diapers to start us off. We have just about 3 months to go, but I can’t help but feel ready for him now!
