Learning the new rules
This pregnancy’s rule: absolutely no milk before lunch. Any other time of day and I’m totally fine. Breakfast cereal or glass of milk? Sick all day. Hmm. Odd. Okay.
Underbelly pants are definitely NOT going to work anymore. That combined with the icky-stomach, made me feel rather ill. No throwing up… just feeling like I sometimes I wanted to. It feels like my lower belly just popped out all of a sudden. I don’t know if it looks like it, or if it’s just a lot more tender. But baby also feels higher.
Baby was much quieter today. Or rather, was probably in a different position than the last few days. No good solid kicks, just a lot of those stretchy underwater undulations. Enough to reassure me that it’s still there. Though I know at this point I can’t exactly count on consistent movement every evening. I’m trying to think back… I don’t remember when it got really consistent with Devin. (Not this early, I know, since I was just starting to feel movement.)
Ow! Ow! Footcramp! Guess that’s my sign to go to sleep now.
I can’t believe how similar our pregnancy experiences and descriptions are. (i.e. this time the milk, foot cramps, under belly evilness, and description of movement)
Well a lot of it is pretty common, I think, like the foot cramps, but it’s very neat that it’s so similar for you too!
Maybe you’re just better at describing it than most. ;) I think also that some people gloss over the crappy stuff for fear we’ll think they’re not grateful.
I take the crappy and the great both!! :)
Yeah, I think that’s true. :) To me it’s all just part of the experience.
