Relaxing Doesn't Make Babies

Not what you wanted to hear

I am full of snot. It’s disgusting. Every morning I wake up (which is a laborious project all on it’s own), then reach for a tissue so I can hopefully attempt to breathe. Also? I don’t think I ever mentioned this, but when I was on the progesterone suppositories, I wore a panty liner every day. Well duh right? I was so happy to stop them, and stop using a panty liner! And then I realized…. a good amount of that grossness I was secreting “down there” was NOT because of the suppositories. It just kept coming. And to this day. Yep, panty liners are my friend! I guess this is what people meant by “increased mucous production” during pregnancy. Interesting. (Or some other word used to describe completely gross things.)

Headache tonight. I had one before I went to bed, but it wasn’t *that* bad. I figured, it’s okay, I’ll just go to bed and sleep it off. Falling asleep was a little difficult, but no big deal. Then I woke up at 4am… and still had the effing headache. Arrgggg. I hate taking anything for mere headaches, especially now that I’m pregnant… but like Den said, Tylenol is safe, just take it! So I did. Headache finally going away.

You know, when I was at my appointment on friday with my Midwife she asked me about headaches. “Nope!” I said cheerily. “Just one, once – but nothing else!” Oh that figures. I’ve had about 4 this week.

I am 12w6d pregnant. I feel so incredibly lucky and blessed to be here. One more day until I celebrate first trimester being over! How freakin’ crazy is that?

    Time really does fly. Your announcement seems like just yesterday! So awesome!

    I do hope that the second trimester brings some relief to some of the grossness.
