what i love and hate about being pregnant

hate: 1. being easily tired. if i could walk miles without being that exhausted before i got pregnant, this time it's different. very draining and i'm needing more "time-outs" than usual. 2. pain, pain, pain. backpain, abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, vomiting, falling hair, all the irritability that i'm not very used to. 3. drugs and tests. i have never ever been confined in a hospital nor taken this much medicine my entire life. i feel more sick having to take in tablets 3x a day and then the trans V ultrasound that i had to go through twice. sigh. 4. lost of control. i was pretty organized and scheduled but also ready for impromptu adventure trips and getaways before this pregnancy. now, i cannot think of just myself anymore. i can still do things, yes. but knowing that i'm no longer alone and that i have to think about another life in me makes me feel the need to stay away from the extreme stuff that i'm used to. love: 1. the blessing. knowing and having proved that i'm capable of bearing another life in me, and knowing that God entrusted this to me, makes me really happy and proud. it's like a promotion. 2. favors. when people around you know that you're pregnant, they offer you lots of food, space and even wonderful advice. there's that silent special treatment and favor even at work. friends and family do not want you sad or stressed, they want to give you all the comfort you can get, all the food that you want to eat. aylabet! 3. i know there's more hate than love for right now. i'm only 14 weeks! let's see what happens next.
