26-12-2008 - I'm Slow BloatedMy mood while writing this blog:
Bloated



After being a member of this site for nearly 3 weeks now it just occured to me that I could blog. One thing I really regretted about my first pregnancy, aside from the fact that it was the most miserable feeling ever, was that I regretted not journaling my emotions.

It is 10:39 WOW I must really be doing well considering I cannot remember the last time I lasted this late at night. Today I noticed that I really felt very emotionally violitile. Any little thing that peeved me quickly snowballed into a raging unreasonable anger. Once I became aware of it, I admitted it to myself and I have made a consious effort to divert my focus if anything had the potential to be irritating. Bless my husbands heart, he cleaned the kitchen and the bathrooms for me and has for the most part let me just be all day. He even took me to get my chinese food with no complaints. He must've sensed something in the air that today was not a good day to disagree with me,...about anything.

Lately the simple task of changing my bra from my support bra to my sport bra is excruciating. I am not new to the pains of pregnancy but tonight when I took my support bra off.....mind you I let "the girls" down slowly,.....but by the time they were "free" I had the sharpest of pain in my nipples. When I looked at them they were dark purple like they were deprived of oxygen. I swear it felt and looked like if I had touched them they would have started bleeding. Dispite all of this, I would rather my breast burst into flames and have morning sickness as bad as I had it with my first.

I think all in all what is eating at me the most is knowing with certainty that this is my girl. I guess I just need to get over it because IF its not then there won't be any third chances. This is it for me. I am a bit suprised that I even had a first child, let alone and looking forward to a second. Children change you. Children mature you. It's offcial, I've become my mother.

Hey! I am with you in week 15 and also had a cerclage put in last week. How was the surgery for you? I was told the day before that I was going under general anesthesia so I was happy to be ASLEEP during the procedure. BUT, when I arrived at the hospital the MD decided to do a spinal which I can't stand. He seemed to think it was safer, even thought the MD the prior day explained how safe general was at this stage in pregnancy. I was numb for like 9 hours and could not pee. They had to put in a catheter finally cause I could not push. I did not mind much...I could not feel anything! I just don't like not being able to feel my legs...and then when they finally come back to life. It's just weird. I don't know what I'm going to do when I go into labor cause I really don't like pain either! I had a pretty bad ache when I started to feel things and they gave me one percocet and I was fine after that. I stayed in bed for like a week, which gave me a good taste of exactly what I don't want for this pregnancy...BEDREST. I will shoot myself. (not really). Anyway..sorry for rambling. It's good to know someone else in a similar situation. I will be blessed if I can carry this baby to a viable point. I lost my last baby at 20 weeks and I'm scared to death it's gonna happen again.
