Oh Boy or Yeah Girl!

October 5, 2016      22:28

It's week eight and I feel as pregnant as ever. It's so interesting that when you're showing the least, you're having so many symptoms.  I've been feeling miserable at night : nausea, fatigue,  moodiness... you name it.  I'm in the thick of it. My solace is that in about 4 weeks I'll be OK.

I have noticed some differences thus far between the two pregnancies.  First,  I feel pregnant sooner.  I don't have a bump quite yet,  but I can feel my uterus expanding by the minute.  My symptoms are quite apparent and the wobble is in full effect. Second,  the glow is much more apparent this pregnancy.  People have shamelessly came to me and said congratulations on my pregnancy. I had to ask why people felt that convicted that they wouldn't hesitate. Have I gained that much weight?  Have people loss all tact?  A woman told me that she just knew because my glow was on 100. I was shocked because she was at least the second person to tell me that this week.  Speculations are that this combination favor team boy. I'm not mad at that at all.  However,  I still want a basketball team, so no matter the sex there's time to go back for the boy.

The Final Stretch!!! Reflecting on my Goals

February 22, 2017      11:08 I'm not sure if my second pregnancy feels shorter because I've done this before, I'm super busy, or a mixture of both. I can't believe that I'm already in the third trimester. My memories of third trimester include extreme fatigue, blowing up, preggo brain, baby showers, and the ultimate climax of labor. I thought that this would be a good blog entry to go through ideals that I had during my first pregnancy and how they have changed. Eating Habits and Pregnancy Before: Eat what you can... You already don't eat as much Now: It's beyond moderation... Time to diet My views have changed mostly because I have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. It was a big bummer. I failed the 1 hour as I had my last pregnancy,  but failed the 3 hour test this pregnancy.  For the last week and for the rest of my pregnancy,  I will be controlling my glucose levels through diet control. The low carb diet is interesting because I can eat all...

FATIGUE!!!

March 20, 2017        15:07 I am seriously fatigued. Fatigue is one of my least favorite symptoms of the third trimester. My issue with fatigue during pregnancy is that it's unshakable. There comes a point where no amount of coffee or sleep can quell the daily spells of exhaustion. Fortunately, everyone does not have fatigue during pregnancy. Unfortunately, the differences in other people's experiences can sometimes be alienating. My least favorite question is, "How are you feeling?" I'm happy that others are concerned, but how often can I keep up the act by smiling and saying I'm ok. I'm not ok and I don't like to be a "Debbie Downer." I answer honestly from time to time and say exactly what's happening. I just don't see how it's helpful most of the time. It's almost impossible for me to verbalize my discomfort and overall feeling that I'm not " myself." Ironically, I'm starting to forget what "feeling...

So many things, so little time.

12/11/16        11:33 I don't know if it's because it's my second time around or that I'm more busy with work and Felicity,  but the time is surely flying.  I've had so much to blog about, but have been caught in so deeply in the whirlpool of life that I haven't thought to share my experiences.  First, me and the baby are doing well.  It's crazy,  but I'm just as scared about something wrong happening as I was with Felicity. I actually was more frightened this time around because I had a scare on Black Friday.  Thanksgiving night, I started to feel lower abdominal pain,  lower back pain and cervical pressured. These were sensations that I hadn't experienced until my third trimester when I was ready for Felicity to enter the world.  This baby was not yet welcomed. Me and Arlinton rushed to the emergency room only to get the diagnosis of progression of pregnancy and round ligament pain.  Treatment : Get some ...
