Life as a pregnant woman has begun to settle in. I have not gotten over my nausea completely as this morning when I woke up with Brandon I was greeted by a familiar gurgle in my tummy, a cough in my throat and then the inevitable… unpleasantness. I have been trying to take life easy as, many times, baby is not allowing me not to.
My baby bump is becoming more visible to Brandon and I. And while I am quick to express that I am excited to get a big tummy, many Mom’s experienced in the pregnancy department tell me that, for now, it is much better that I don’t (something about sleeping with a watermelon or two in your tummy isn’t comfortable apparently).
Other symptoms are including frequent trips to the bathroom, as well as heartburn. My emotions are quite stabilized, to Brandon’s delight. Throughout the first trimester I was very quick to tears and now I am feeling like I can go a day or two without salting my cheeks.
Work has been a challenge as it involves many odors and tasks that my head and tummy aren’t agreeing with. But the hope that things will now start to get a bit easier in that area keeps me positive.
Our baby is growing. How exciting! Our love for our baby is growing everyday!
