Pregnancy Update
Overall, I have been feeling pretty good. I am still really tired, which I don't remember being before. I'm almost 18 weeks pregnant and really want 8 or 9 hours sleep every night. That is a far contrast to the insomnia I had when pregnant with Sarah Graves!
The feelings of nausea and the bother with smells is pretty much all gone. If anything, I have noticed that my appetite is back this week! I actually had a desire for chocolate chip cookies last weekend and that is a little scary because I count on pregnancy to keep my sweet tooth at bay and my weight gain in check!
The most exciting thing has been feeling those first flutters of movement. For about 2 weeks I have felt subtle little movements, but the other night while watching TV, I'm pretty sure that he or she was practicing kick turns! I am so grateful for those movements as affirmation that this little miracle really is getting bigger and stronger all the time.
One of the parts about pregnancy that I find that most irritating is the comments that other people make. Those have started up this week. One co-worker actually asked if I was having twins. I wish I could be a snot and say, "no, it's triplets!" Another co-worker asked if I was watching how much weight I put on. I'm sure they are well meaning people, but really that is so unhelpful. Apparently, I just carry large. I think it might be because I have a really short torso, so there isn't much room for a baby to go, but out. I like the bump, so I will continue on my merry way.
