Well, the wee one is the size of a small lentil bean. What a cute idea... I keep wondering how something so small can affect me to this extent.
Thus far, pregnancy has been fairly kind to me. I have not had any morning sickness at all. Of course, the breasts are larger and I am having some acne (hurray- NOT), but overall we are really fortunate.
Two things surprise me... First, I am not craving sweets, at least, not yet! I tend to be a cookie, muffin, cake person- but they have not interested me. However, fruit and chips interest me. Like I have said before, I do not consider these to be cravings really, just curiosity (because I am actually paying attention). My second suprise is the exhaustion. I am used to being tired. I feel like I have spent most of my adult life tired... This is a different feeling. It is like someone else got in my body and used up all of my energy. My muscle and bones are heavy... Kind of like when you wake up with the flu. Except my mind is ready, sharp as a tack and constantly trying to get things done... Sadly, I plan more than I actually do, and I sleep more than I do anything else in my day. Honestly, I am trying to enjoy it because after this little one is born, I will not get this kind of sleep for a VERY VERY Long time! It is just bizzarre to head off to bed at 9pm.
Almost time for our Disney trip. Huzzah. I got an ok from my midwife and I have a good idea of the rides I want to avoid. I am most looking forward to 11 days straight with no work.
