29-5-2009 - What a difference a day makes...

My mood while writing this blog: elated

Ok, so overnight my belly suddenly feels way harder to me, and I have started to feel movement! Yay! I know for sure it's not my stomach rumbling because I am eating all the time...and I know my body well enough to know it's not gas either. lol. But I love it so much!! However, in addition to the fluttery feelings (although not at the same time), occasionally I'll get this heavy feeling in my belly. It doesn't last very long, and it's very infrequent, but it still freaks me out a little bit. Which brings me to my next point...

Being pregnant has turned me into a hypochondriac head-case. Seriously...I am starting to scare myself. So far with this pregnancy I have been worried about ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage in the first trimester, and now most recently with the occasional heaviness in my abdomen - I'm worried about having an incompentent cervix. I have no real basis for these concerns, but I'll feel something...then research stuff on the internet and end up freaking myself out. After my first positive hpt - I took 6 more in the course of a few weeks - and that doesn't include the one they did at the doctors office! It took 7 pregnancy tests to finally convince myself I was actually pregnant. Yikes. I'm hoping this craziness will subside any time now.

My husband laughs at me. He says he's sure everything is fine, but I think he's getting a kick out of my pregnancy craziness.

Case in point - yesterday morning he came home from work and we had some relations before I had to leave for work. Well at the end of it, I was pretty wiped out first of all because I was on top, and also because I hadn't had any breakfast yet. So I sighed, and said I was hungry (we were still at the end of it) and for some reason he thought that was hilarious. He goes, "there's a first". I tried to explain that I was out of energy because I hadn't eaten yet, but he was still chuckling about it when I talked to him later that night. Men....
