pregnancy – Page 4 – making unbreakable

an open letter to mozzi, no. 2

Hey Moz, We’re almost halfway through annoying each other! You’ve been making me sick, pee, eat, barf, sleep, not sleep, fart and grunt like an elephant for the past 20 weeks while I’ve subjected you to my car singing, your sister, barfing and possibly one too many Subway chicken sandwiches with a few too manyContinue reading “an open letter to mozzi, no. 2”

the one about the second time I was positive.

Over the last year I had become so laid back with this getting pregnant business that I barely even bothered to keep track of my periods. (look away daddy!) Besides, I have an app on my iPod that does it for me. It even has an icon of flaming boobs for those few days ofContinue reading “the one about the second time I was positive.”

doughboy pokes, depression and my belly.

I have felt pretty fantastic for the last few months, emotionally at least, physically? Not so much. And when I say I’ve felt emotionally fantastic I mean in regards to depression because to be honest there was a three week time between positive pregnancy test and chilling the chill out that I wasn’t so funContinue reading “doughboy pokes, depression and my belly.”

the second time around.

Living with the barfing is much easier the second time around. The anxiety of ‘ZOMG I’M GOING TO BE SOMEBODY’S MOTHER‘ is easier the second time around. Figuring out what baby crap is actually necessary and what is just crap is also easier the second time around. However no one told me that just existingContinue reading “the second time around.”

the one about all the stuff I forgot.

First doctor’s appointment down! (Hi Daddy! I’m about to talk about my cervix! I hear there’s a good show about ice on the Discovery Channel! You should probably go there…xo-doodlebug.) You know what I forgot? How much is involved with OB appointments. First of all there’s the needles, where they take enough blood I’m absolutelyContinue reading “the one about all the stuff I forgot.”

an open letter to mozzi, no. 1

Dear Moz, Look, I realize we haven’t gotten off to the best start. There was the whole barf my brains out thing which is never a good way to start any relationship, then there were the boobs of fury that didn’t let me do much of anything but lie around and keep them as stillContinue reading “an open letter to mozzi, no. 1”

the one about something (maybe) being wrong.

I think something is wrong. Logic and the many people surrounding me tell me otherwise. I am only one entity while the logic and people surrounding me are countless. Who to believe? I know who I want to believe, but I also know I’m the only one living in my body. Logic says I haveContinue reading “the one about something (maybe) being wrong.”

the tamales say “you’re good!”

I am currently awaiting the delivery of Tamales to my Chicago hotel room. This really has nothing to do with anything, I’m just not entirely sure I’ll ever be in this particular situation again and I feel it needs to me mentioned, because honestly, has there ever been a time in your life where youContinue reading “the tamales say “you’re good!””

lovetines.

There comes a point in every HG pregnancy (let me know if I’m wrong) where IVs become little vacations. Especially when done in those really fancy hospital arm chairs with nurse call buttons and warm bags of saline wrapped in blankets to snuggle. IVs mean you get to feel partially human again without having toContinue reading “lovetines.”

your looks really are the first thing to go…

I have misled many people into believing that I am coasting along in this pregnancy. (Which is fine, it’s just not the truth.) The truth is I am very ill approximately 20 hours a day and this week has been the worst. I’m not sure if it’s simply because I’m running out of brave orContinue reading “your looks really are the first thing to go…”
