Probably a better title would be “Emotions Gone Wild”, but it just wouldn’t have caught the same attention.
So, I am pretty well passed the dog days of pregnancy with the constant nausea and on to some crazy mood swings! I am ultra sensitive and the littlest things can sometimes set me off. The emotions really started to run wild this week and in my line of work it is very important that I keep it together. No matter how I feel I must greet my customers with a smile and make them think whatever they need is the most important thing and that I want nothing more than to fulfill that need or solve that problem. Sooo this can get extra exhausting for a pregnant emotional woman and Wednesday was one of those days that left me with zero “keeping it together” capability. By the time I got home I was feeling pretty sensitive and tired so fortunately I had put a dinner and the crock pot and didn’t have to cook. We all ate dinner and then I went into my room to change for my evening walk and caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and was mortified! I had just put on a sports bra that was definitely overly tight due to the recent rapid growth in my chest and I had a roll! On my back! Under my bra line! NOT COOL! I immediately began to cry and found myself in Cary’s arms listening to his reassurance of how “beautiful” I am and “wonderful” I look. I finally got calmed down and then Alyssa (my little sister) showed up to walk with me and asked me if I had been crying and I immediately burst back into tears as I told her my horrible news of the roll under my bra on my back! Thursday was an easy day for me for the most part.. I was somewhat busy at work, but I knew that once 5 o’clock hit I would be home for a 3 day weekend (Bankers Hours are great when it comes to getting extra holidays!). So then Friday came and I got to spend the morning and early afternoon with my other sister Angee and her youngest daughter and had an easy going day of shopping and then cleaning and then in the afternoon I went to Sam’s Club and Grocery Shopping and honestly I was shot! The night I made dinner and Alyssa came over for dinner too and then we played Just Dance and Alyssa has crazy long arms and accidently, barely hit me and I just felt so sensitive and it felt like it hurt a lot even though I don’t think it really did and she started laughing and I started crying and had to go upstairs because I was just sensitive and I knew it was just me. Saturday was cool though, Lucy and I went and visited my parents and pretty much just relaxed all day and then last night we relaxed some more and I had no outbursts of tears and then today I didn’t cry but I felt like I was going to because Cary forgot to stop at JC Penney for me.. I tell you.. being pregnant is tough on a woman!
Outside of being overly emotional my pregnancy is going great! I still listen in on the baby about once a day or so for a minute or two because the lazy little guy/gal is always in the same spot so I can find them super fast with my dopppler! I am up to 8 lbs gained on a bad day and have yet to feel the baby move. We have an appointment on Wednesday afternoon and then we will schedule our gender scan and I definitely am excited to know what kind of a baby is growing in my tummy! Cary and I also have our names picked out, but don’t ask because it is a secret! Cary also wrote his letter to Baby Co recently so I still have to try to talk him into letting me put it on my blog. With the wedding blog he did a little paragraph for me describing his experience and as of right now I think I’ll wait til this crazy emotional phase passes before I let him loose on here! I don’t need self provoked water works!! I think that is it for tonight!
