I am now 10 weeks and 4 days pregnant. I’m feeling better day by day. Somedays I’m extremely exhausted and others I’m wide awake at 3 O’CLOCK in the morning. In the mornings around 10am I start to feel a little naseaus, but it usually goes away by lunchtime. My stomach feels sore. It’s almost like I’ve been working it out. I’m assuming that the stretching of my insides is what’s making it sore. My body is creating a cozy home for my little flutterby.
My breasts are not as tender as they were, but my appetite is still going strong. I have gained 6 pounds, technically only 4 but ya know. I lost 3 lbs in the beginning and then gained them all back and then some.
I’ve had to go out and buy a couple of new things. Underwear, bras, pants and shirts. The only thing that I haven’t had to buy is socks. Although at the rate I’m going, I might just have to buy some of those too. I’m just kidding. I really do feel good about the weight I’ve gained. I don’t feel good about the places I’ve gained it in, but hey at least you can tell I’m eating right? 
Other than the physical aspects of this pregnancy, I feel like I have come to grips (for now) with the hormonal thing. I was so irritated with everything Adam did and said. I was annoyed all of the time and just plain cranky. I think it’s slowed down a bit (keeping my fingers crossed). I really don’t like being like that, but when it’s happening I can justify it so well in my head. After I do my thing and get it out of my system, I think back to how I acted and think “what a freak”. There really wasn’t a reason as to why I acted the way I did, but it’s over now. Oh well. So ya. That seems to have come to a head, for this week anyway.
Another thing I am having trouble with is decsion making. I can’t even decide what I want to eat most of the time. It’s a horrible feeling. We went to 3 paint stores the other day and spent a whole lot of time trying to decide what color to paint the baby’s room. Neither of us could decide what color to paint. It was horrible. I’m usually pretty good when it comes to painting and redecorating. I can go into a store and not have any idea about what to do, but when I get there, it all comes to me. I do it and it looks wonderful. I seem to have lost that touch lately.
I’m pretty much at ease with everything these days though, which makes me very happy. I don’t feel as uptight as I have in the past. I just can’t wait to meet my little baby. I’m so excited and anxious yet nervous at the same time. We still have so much to do to prepare for the flutterby, but it’ll all be worth it in the end. If only I could pick out a color for the room, I think I’d feel a bit better.
Time seems to be standing still these days. It was moving so fast before, but now it’s going so slow. I don’t want to wish this time that my husband and I have to ourselves and our little pooch, Madison, but at the same time it’s like I’m waiting for the best christmas present ever. I know what it is and I know I’m going to love it, but I can’t have it until it’s the right time.
I love you more and more each day flutter, I can’t wait to meet you and give you butterfly kisses.
