Hi.
I couldn't decide whether to post or not. But I think I need a little venting session. Today wasn't horrible, it was just kind-of a day.
I'm still taking the Progesterone the dr wants me to stay on until my next visit **June 16** And it kinda makes you feel cruddy. On top of the usual (but new to me!) 1st trimester cruddiness. One side effect: crazy, vivid, LONG dreams! Literally I felt like I dreamt ALL NIGHT last night. It just never ended and I woke up feeling spent. Nothing like starting an 8/9 hour work day feeling exhausted :/ I got through it though I guess. Drinking a lot of water and frequent snacking are helping the queasy feeling plus aiding in me staying awake. Seriously. It was 10:15 this morning and I was ready for lunch. I think part of that though is that I'm not eating the bigger solid breakfast that I did pre-pregnancy. Oatmeal with peanut butter and maybe some eggs has turned into a small cup of yogurt with 3 strawberries. Not much staying power there.
I'm not going to go into it all here but let's just say I'm looking forward to hopefully a new work schedule after the baby comes. I keep telling myself...7 more months. 7 more months. Give or take.
Is your job your passion? Do you think it should be? Or is a job a job? Food for thought.
On a more positive note.! I am now the owner of select articles of maternity clothes! ;> You know you're jealous of that waistband. No, I'm not quite ready for them yet but let's just say by the end of the day, they sure start sounding nice. My friend Heather so graciously has loaned me a plethora of shirts and pants! I had so much fun trying everything on this past weekend and imagining how they might look a little later...I also hit up a consignment shop in our area called "Kid-to-Kid" yesterday after work. So cool! They sell new and used clothes, furniture, swings, strollers, and maternity clothes! I totally scored 2 pairs of Old Navy shorts and 1 pair of GAP pants for $21! And they fit! I'm hoping I can grow with them a little too :)
So the not so great part of the 1st trimester: "morning" sickness, fatigue, bloating, frequent trips to the ladies room, slight grumpiness :>, food aversions... are all leading up to an AMAZING little sweet heart growing inside of me and sooner than I think, a sweet little bundle of joy in my arms. I can handle it.
Like Tina said, it is so worth it.

Definitely worth it!
And maternity clothes are the best thing ever. Seriously...as soon as they stay up WEAR THEM! I tried to wait as long as possible out of pride or something last time and it was so dumb. I'm already ready for mine! I swoon for the stretchy pants. Plus you can then look more pregnant and not just tubby. Big plus.
Aww, sorry to hear you feel so crappy :[ Hope that passes soon!
Totally agreed with Tina on this - maternity clothes are a godsend!! I switched into them (pants first, shirts later on) at 13-14 weeks b/c my pre-preg duds were just not cutting it anymore.
You have a great outlook on the first trimester. Yeah, parts of it suck, but it's just so doggone worth it. I can't wait to see you grow, you are going to be the cutest preggo!!
I knew I should have put the sack of maternity clothes I was going to bring yesterday by the back door instead of relying on my memory to get it from the closet before I left! Guess we will just have to meet-up so I can get them to you. There may not be much that you like or can wear, but you can borrow whatever you want. I'll be in touch about getting them to you. It was so good to see you yesterday!!!
