While we’re talking about mundane day-to-day sorts of things, let’s have an update on how things are going physically, hm? Footwear I’ve moved strictly to slip-on wear 24/7 nowadays. I think I COULD tie my shoes if I wanted to, but thought I’d go ahead and save myself the struggle from here on out. This [...]

Symptom Check
Just so that I can keep track of myself and my inner and outer-happenings, let’s log some current symptoms, shall we? Some of these, seriously, could be taken right from the book for “Week 26″: Shitty eyesight: Well, I’m sure the book doesn’t say “shitty,” but I have a combination of little clear floaters in [...]

Fries with that?
According to “the books,” Vegas will be doubling in size over the next couple of weeks. This could explain so many things – my recent back aches, strange itchy spot on my outer thigh (just one thigh), unquenchable thirst, trouble sleeping, feeling drained, and the nudgings/pokings/jabbings from him as if he’s trying to claw his [...]

The Sound of Waiting
We’re counting down the days until Friday morning’s ultrasound. The last time we saw Vegas was back in December, and before then, was at the six week mark, when he was merely a flashing spot on the screen. Unless we get super-sassy (or I’ve missed something in my notes), this is the last scheduled ultrasound [...]

And now jackhammers?
Whereas I may not look as pregnant as other almost-20-weekers, the changing inside my body is making me, at least, take notice. The internal wrecking crew is back, as my pelvic bones constantly feel like they are being pried apart by crowbars, and the muscles along my sides and in front of my ribcage take [...]

Smell Police
Oh great. Now I’m that pregnant lady whose sense of smell is so heightened that I’m bothered by other peoples’ perfume/cologne. When did this happen? Exhibit A: There’s a woman who keeps coming back into my office suite to make copies. I’m already aggravated because it’s not her office suite, nor is it her copier [...]

Soggy Panini
OK, so the “Be nice to me, I’m pregnant” shirt is out of stock, which is unfortunate, since crying is totally the new nausea. Woah nelly. Did I say crying? Oh wait – maybe I meant sobbing uncontrollably in a reaction to being asked where we should eat lunch. You would have sworn a relative [...]

Crying, Itching, and Sniffling
Hello emotional wreck, goodbye nausea. Man, what I would give for some good old-fashioned queasiness in exchange for this new crying/happy roller coaster awesomeness. Wee! I suppose this was only to be expected in my somewhat (so far) textbook pregnancy, for those of us following along at home with those pregnancy week-by-week books, but still. [...]

The Big Reveal
Telling everyone we know about the pregnancy has been a tiring five-day PR roll-out. Well, it started far more than five days ago,as you know, when we initially told close friends and family. Those folks kept their trap shut as long as they could (varying times per person) and eventually told other people. You know… [...]

For those of you wondering…
Being 12 weeks pregnant feels like that day(s) during your period when you feel really bloated, after having eaten some really bad food-poisoned lo mein, with a side of two cans of beans (the more gas-producing, the better). At least, in my experience, thus far. Tomorrow is our first ultrasound since week 6, when it [...]
