I've been getting these weekly email updates from What to Expect When You're Expecting and this week's update is less than thrilling. Normally these updates are more light and fluffy, and full of fun happy thoughts about your growing little bun and the glorious pregnant body. This week's was a bit more harsh. Visible veins! Headaches! Constipation! So far I haven't experienced these things yet [knock on wood] but I guess they could be in my future. Every pregnancy is different and all that jazz, so maybe I'll luck out and not get some of these less fun side effects! Is it a coincidence that I am supposed to be experiencing constipation in the same week that my baby supposedly is the size of a prune?
In happier news, all kinds of things are supposed to be happening with baby's growth - teeth, bones, all kinds of things. I have my next appointment at the end of the month and I hope we get another sonogram! I can't wait to see what baby looks like by then! Hopefully he/she will look more like a baby than last time. Apparently this appointment is going to take a long time because we have to fill out all kinds of paperwork and do all kinds of things. I guess I better pack some snacks! If I don't eat consistently, I start to feel really bad, so I just make sure that I have food with me all the time and don't let myself get too hungry.
On a side note, I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to continue this blog or even carry on a halfway decent conversation because the baby seems to be sucking every last brain cell right out of my head! You should feel very very sorry for Nick at this point.
