Well, I thought that when I found out I was pregnant that I would post every week, but I guess I am realizing that would be alot of posts and well, no one really cares or really even reads this...so why bother? It's okay though because I do this for me, so that I have a record of how I was feeling during my first pregnancy.
So, I am really feeling pretty good these days. I am back to exercising four to five days a week which is nice. The morning nausea/vomitting is a thing of the past! Thank God. I went to the Doctor at the beginning of the month and got to hear the heartbeat with a dopplar which was really exciting.
I started my registry at Target. I was going to do Babies R us, but when I saw the prices, I decided that Target would be the economical choice. So my mom and I went and looked and I was able to hopefully register for all I need. Not like I really know what I need... I am still going to register at Walmart for some things as well. Man, talk about overwhelming.
You know, people amaze me. I can't begin to tell you some of the things that people have said to me since I have been pregnant that I have been like....wow, I can't believe that you just said that. For example:
"I am sure your belly has always been that fat. You are just sticking it out because you are pregnant."
"Your butt is getting bigger."
"Don't mind her, it's just her hormones."
"I hear you are knocked up."
"I gained 88 pounds with my first kid and I still have forty of it and she is fifteen!"
"You wait until your hair falls out!"
I will tell you what, I can not believe that people say the things they do. And by the way, I am not "KNOCKED UP." Knocked up would be a teenager sleeping with a married man or something like that. I am a married woman who is pregnant with her first much wanted child. And furthermore, my butt is not bigger. I can still put on my size 5-6 jeans. They fit my butt. It's my belly they no longer cover. And the hormone comment, I don't even want to go there. I know my hormones are wacky. I can't help that and certainly saying it all the time doesn't make me feel any better. I am not mad about these things that were said because I know that people in general lack sensitivity about how a pregnant woman may feel, but man sometimes I just sigh and wonder how people have the nerve to say the things they do
