SO! This Sunday marks 10 weeks into my pregnancy, so that would make me 1/4 of the way done. I feel like this baby is going to take forever to grow!
I have an appointment with the OB nurse next Wednesday, and I am sure I will have blood work drawn. She will go over family and genetic histories with Josh and I. So really nothing too exciting. Then on the 17th I have my first appointment with my Nurse Midwife. I will get a pap smear, pelvic exam, go over my blood work results, and hear lil jelly bean's heart beat. That will be exciting! Next I will have my NT ultrasound scan on the 22nd, right before Christmas! I am so excited to see lil bean. Hopefully everything will look healthy and like it should.
I am really just hoping for a very simple and uncomplicated pregnancy. I guess that is all anyone can really hope for. I have been getting these haunches that I could POSSIBLY be having twins, but the only way to know is when I see my Midwife and if she thinks I'm measuring larger than I should be and we would see at the ultrasound. I've been able to feel the lump that is my uterus for a couple weeks now (I think around 7 weeks), which typically you don't feel until 11-12 weeks. But it could be that I'm just really small and it sticks out more than a typical person.
Right now with school I am so stressed out. I was just thinking about it, laying awake in bed this morning and it made me puke. I will be singing the lords praises when this semester is over. I feel so badly for subjecting my lil jelly bean to all these stress hormones. I don't want it to come out having a panic attack!
So as far as symptoms- the obvious one has been morning sickness or as I like to call it all freaking day sickness. Which has be getting ridiculously hard to hide from people. Random things will make me gag, and when my tummy has a lot of gas in it I gag and it sounds like the gates of hell are opening up, because I've never really been capable of burping.
Then there is pizza face that I've got going on here. I feel like every day there is a new zit poping up. It's just disgusting. It really sucks that I can't even use acne wash because the medicine in it is not good for you when you are pregnant I guess.
I have really bad sleeping patterns too. I am exhausted all the time, and barely can stay awake past 7pm sometimes, even 8pm sounds like a stretch to me. Then I wake up to go pee and eat something at ungodly early hours of the morning and have a hard time falling back to sleep.
My brain has gone dead, I feel like I've lost quite a few cells. I catch myself day dreaming about stupid random crap and I have no focus at all. At first all I could think over and over again "OMG I can't believe I'm pregnant!" but the idea has set in, I guess. That and sometimes I forget that I am... just think I'm chronically ill or something.
I am so agitated all the time! I have lost my ability to filter what I say, so if I just give you a nasty look and the silent treatment its because a horde of swears are being screamed inside my head. I'm trying my best to not open my mouth when I feel that way, but sometimes I have to let the shit out or I go nuts.
I crave the most random things. It's really crazy, one week I will be crazy about a certain food or foods and then the next week it will repulse me so much that I can't even look at it without gagging. Some of the foods I was craving in the beginning was cottage cheese, cheese and jelly pepper sandwiches, and mac n' cheese. I have since not been able to eat any of those things without getting sick. Then it was toast and jelly, and gatorade. Now it's been cinnamon toast waffles, sweet pickles, grill cheese + tomato dipped in ketchup and mayo, bagel and cream cheese, and hot chocolate.
I've put on a bit of weight, and since my last appointment I have not weighed myself, so we just won't go there. I can tell my tummy is getting a little rounder, I don't think I'm really showing yet but I will soon. Right now it's mostly bloat.
Ugh, speaking of bloat... pregnancy makes you super gassy. It's just so disgusting. I out fart Josh, and like I said, when I burp it sounds like the gates of hell opening up. Eww.
On top of that, I am so greasy and oily. Which could explain the zits. I used to have to use deep moisturizer to wash my hair because it would be so dry, but if I use any moisturizer at all it looks like I've gone days without showering because it looks so greasy. I hate it!
My boobs are huge! It would be a good thing if they didn't hurt all the time and didn't already grow out of my new C cup bras. I think I will get bigger than a D cup and that really really scares me!
I'm sure there is more but that's all I can think of for now. I'm so excited to be 10 weeks in 2 days! :D
