According to BabyCenter.com, my uterus is the size of a soccer ball right now and my baby is the size of an ear of corn. As Scott says: “Amaizing!” I am incredibly physically tired at night. Most nights it seems I have to struggle just to get to bed. But every day I wake up and feel back to normal. It’s a strange cycle.
I’m staying off of sugars and simple carbs since the high glucose levels in my last urine test. I’ve given myself a bit of a break and am allowing a few strawberries and some occasional granola. I lost 2 pounds initially but I’ve gained a pound and a half of it back now so I think I’m on the right track.
The nursery is almost done. I’m slowly painting the old windows so they don’t get stuck shut. I’m going to paint the closet but I might put that on hold a couple weeks. I got another boatload of free baby clothes from a friend and the dresser is now full. Little girl clothes are so disgustingly cute I could just puke all over myself with glee.
I’m doing much better than last week. Last week just sucked. I cried all week long pretty much. I had a good emotional purging with a friend, thank you Summer, and I think it really helped. I think I just really needed to say outloud “This sucked, this sucks.” I’m now also able to say out loud “My mom died” and although it’s still hard, it’s getting easier. Knowing that my job only has about 3 months left makes me feel a whole lot better too. I can start thinking about the future more, and visualize it actually happening. I welcome the change, scary as it may be at times.
