28 Hits Hard

July 20, 2010

I am full swing into my third trimester. Things have been going great this entire pregnancy, nothing new had changed until I hit the last three months. I went to the doctors last week and she informed me that I had gained 10 pounds in one month, actually I informed her. Not that this is a big deal but I just wanted to make sure that this big of a jump is normal. She convinced me that it was, lets just hope I don't keep up this record breaking weight gain. The next thing is in regards to my emotions. The first six months I was convinced that my moods had gotten better since I got pregnant and I think that is actually true. Then last week everything came crashing down. The first reason I cried was because I thought my cheeks looked fat, in my defense it did look like I was storing up for winter. The very next day I ended up in tears because I was second guessing the fabric I had ordered for the crib skirt and bumper. It also did not make it any better that this fabric issue kept me up for two hours the night before. And the next day I really lost it because I had over cooked my hot cereal, that is it, I just cooked it too long. That was the last straw. I started crying because of the hot cereal, then I cried even harder because I was so mad at the fact that I was mad at something like that. Now the clouds parted and the sun came out because I have been tear free for the last couple of days. But I am not holding my breath that this will last. The last change that I have noticed is that the nesting I am going through is out of control. But more in my mind, I mean I still get my projects done but the obsession and stress that happens in my head is just wrong. Awww, I feel better just getting all that off my chest.
