So, I think this baby is giving me a few last minute reminders of what our journey has been like together for the last 9 months. I have been going through some lovely symptoms over the last few days that I thought were long gone (or at least in hibernation). I wanted to share them with you!
1. The waterworks are back: I have been pretty proud of myself for not being a total emotional wreck during this pregnancy. I have been surprisingly laid back and calm (for the most part), I think Tim is even shocked. But today, I had Oprah on while I was working and she had all of these surprises on her season premiere including surprising this group of women who were on a road trip to see the show by having their drive them right on stage, when they thought they were going to their hotel to freshen up. The surprise was so wow to me that I started crying immediately...again balling, not just a wimper but a deep down emotional outburst where I just cried and cried. Oh boy...I had no clue what had come over me, and I was so emotional I thought I was going to push myself into labor right at that moment. It continued as she kept surprising more guests including the teacher and the Australia giveaway....I am still crying as I write this! Coco thinks I am crazy!
2. Nausea: You may remember that I went through some horrible nausea during the first trimester of this pregnancy. It was debilitating and not fun! Well, lately, at night, I am finding the nausea is coming back....not in the same way and manner as the first trimester, but it is uncomfortable and in general I just feel yuck. For some reason, anything I eat is making me feel ill and I really don't want to eat much (except for surprise, surprise - sweets). I am hoping this is just a short term problem that will go away this week!
3. Crazy girl: Well, as I mentioned in number 1, I feel pretty proud that I have not been super crazy this pregnancy, but yesterday I lost it while trying to organize the nursery. I think Tim was afraid! I just cannot get myself happy and satisfied with the decor - and yes, I know this is so little in the grand scheme of things, but I feel obsessed about it! These are the moments when I could use a drink!
Oh. 4 weeks and 6 days left! But what will the non-pregnancy life with baby be like? We will explore that then! Hopefully I make it through this next month!
