BYE, BYE FIRST TRIMESTER

Wahoo! Second Trimester here I come. I am so glad to be out of the first trimester. I was so tired and If I didn’t take naps with Little Miss K~bug...then you seriously did not want to be around me. But, since last week I am starting to feel great. I can go without a nap every so often, and I won’t bite your head off without one! Yea! Moreover I’m getting to where I am not so emotionally bitchy.

As for me and the baby...well, if it wasn’t for the growing mid-section, and lack of um...menses...well, I’d think I wasn’t even pregnant. I swear between the time that I wasn’t pregnant to the time that I found out I was I immediately gained 5 pounds. But now all I do is fluctuate back in forth between that 5 pounds gained and five more pounds. So I guess I really haven’t gained much at all. Considering that I haven’t gained all that much weight, I still am growing out of my clothes. I only have one pair of jeans and one pair of work pants that I can wear and I hope that they will last me a few more weeks, because maternity clothes suck at such an early stage, they are just TOO BIG. I recently had a certain person who is an exercise junkie (and that is the only reason I am letting him off ever so lightly), informed me that I needed to hit the gym to work on my mid section...I so nicely informed him that no matter how many sit-ups I did over at the gym, it really would really not affect me.

On that point, people really are so RUDE to pregnant women. Recently I have been having a very large woman (I am not trying to be mean here, just it seems odd that this should be coming from such an overweight person) inform me that I am going to be having twins!!! TWINS I SAY!!! Seriously, in my personal opinion, I think that I possible may be bigger with number two here (considering everything is already stretched out in all), but I really think that all of the growing is in my tum-tum, unlike with K~bug it was EVERYWHERE! And you know what? Doesn’t this woman realize that once I get my first ultrasound and if there is only one baby, she is just calling me FAT?! Also I have been wearing my wedding ring on my necklace, because recently it has been causing me to get a rash (when soap gets up under the ring and aggravates the skin). So for the last three to four months it has had a permanent seat around my neck...this ever so kind gentlemen that I work with...who knows about my ring dilemma recently asked me, “So, Are you wearing your ring around your neck because you are swollen or what?” Excuse me, do I look swollen? NO!!! Ugh. Like I said, people are just so rude to pregnant women.

Back to me and the baby...like I said not much letting me know I’m pregnant. Not sure if I really feel the baby yet or not. They say with the second you can feel them so much sooner. But I haven’t been pregnant in five years so I think I have forgotten what it feels like. I get these movements ever so often and I think it is the baby, but then soon after I poot or something...so maybe it is just gas. Amity has a theory that it is the baby, just the baby is CAUSING THE GAS!!! LOL!!! Well, considering the lack of actual knowledge of pregnancy, at my next appointment (November 11th) I will hear pumpkin’s little heartbeat otherwise I will VERY KINDLEY ASK FOR AN IMMEDIATE ULTRASOUND. As long as everything goes well though and I do hear the heartbeat with the doppler, I more than likely will not be receiveing an ultrasound till around December 9th till 16th. I will then be between 19 to 20 weeks, and I will then let everyone know the gender if we are capable of finding out. Best wishes and prayers to everyone else.
