1. Why is our first appointment not until week 10? That seems like way too long. AND IT FEELS WAY TOO LONG ALSO.
2. Going off the people we have told, 93 percent want to touch my belly. Why? Do I have to get used to this? I'm still a person, people, I have boundary issues.
3. I understand that What to Expect When You're Expecting is the pregnancy bible but... I'm having a hard time with it. More often than not I feel myself freaking out with all of the scary shit that hides within those pages. Like if I get a pedicure don't let the lady rub between my ankle bone and heel because it could start contractions?! My toes are going to be look like shit for about 7 more months I suppose.
4. I'm tired all the time. That's not an exaggeration. Since going back to work there have been countless times where I've caught myself dozing at my desk.
5. MY BOOBS ARE GINORMOUS.
6. People are always happy when they hear baby news. The smiles and congratulations really are priceless. I kind of wish I could bottle that feeling and save it for when I feel down in the future.How far along? 10 weeks!

I haaaate What To Expect! It should be called "Everything That Could Possibly Go Wrong While You're Expecting". I just signed up for those weekly updates from BabyCenter (they're always positive!)and read up on childbirth and stuff like breastfeeding and sleep training...I'm glad I did, too, because I didn't have time to read that stuff after the baby was born!
ReplyDeleteI love how Tyler is beyond excited and so supportive - I'm sure that makes everything a lot more enjoyable!
ReplyDeleteI am guilty of being one of those people that has rubbed the belly of a pregnant woman. I just did it to my friend back home last weekend (it's the first time I've seen her since they found out they were expecting) and as soon as I did it I pulled my hand away and said, "OMG...sorry. That's so awkward. I just wanted to touch it, but it's weird because it's still attached to you, you know?". It wasn't a big deal because we've been besties forever and we laughed about it, but still...I think I'll wait for belly rubbings until it's my own :)
I also thought it was crazy that you have to wait so long to see a doctor!! All those weeks of anticipation!! Sadly I know it is because there are many pregnancies that end themselves by then, but the good news is once you have your ultrasound at that point you are good to go! But way to torture women at a time when their hormones are already whacked out!
ReplyDeleteI read What to Expect religiously in the beginning because I felt like I couldn't get enough information. By about week 22 I was over it! Did you know they are making a movie called "What to Expect When You Are Expecting"? My husband is outraged lol.
I don't know why they want to touch your belly yet. That is just weird. Give it some time people.
Okay, how am I such an awful blogger friend to jut be finding out you are expecting a little bean! Yee I am so excited for you.
