9w1d = 7 more months to go...pregnancy as seen through my eys.

Feelings and thoughts on my pregnancy:

When I think that I have 7 months to go....HOLY COW! I wonder to myself how am I going to do it, it seems so long. But I am sure that they time will fly, and that July 10, 2010 will be here sooner than I think.

Who knew that in just a little over 9 weeks, that I could become so attached to someone that I hadn't even met yet.

It has taken some time to realize that my body is no longer mine, but belongs to the little bitty baby inside me. What this means is that I can't beat my body up the way I used to. No more skipping meals, eating crap junk food, or not taking my vitamins. It also means I that I need to be more aware of what I am putting into my body, my surroundings, and how I maintain my body.

I find that now when I am shopping I spend more time looking at baby clothes and such, and less at clothes for me. I suspect that in the very near future when my clothes don't fit right, that will change.

Concerns that I have, unfounded or not:

I do worry that I may do something to lose my baby. Or that I am not taking care of myself the way I should be, which in turn may hurt my baby.

Will I be a good mom and will I be able to handle the 3am feedings, the crying, etc.

Will my child love me and Vincent (even when we tell them no)

What if I have a boy and I want a girl or vice versa, will I be able to handle that

Symptoms my little one has blessed me with to remind me of his/her presence

Tiredness...no matter how much sleep I get, it never feels like enough

Hunger...I find myself more hungry throughout the day, then I used to be. And I have the biggest urge to grab the closet snack, healthy or not, and eat and eat. And then there is the waking up in the middle of the night starving.

Using the bathroom more... Sometimes that can be rather annoying, cause I may not be able to get to the bathroom right away.


Nausea...Can't say that it has been bad, or that I have actually thrown anything up. It's just some smells make me sick to my stomach.

Breast tenderness...I swear they have grown already (and Vincent agrees to it). I look down and think, "NO PLEASE NO". Not to mention they feel a bit heavier than normal, and I can't lay certain ways cause it's uncomfortable.

So there you have my little rant, my thoughts, my concerns, and my symptoms.Hope you enjoyed.
