So, I read back through my history and my pregnancy chakras have aligned such that I am feeling much better (emotionally and spiritually, not necessarily physically) about this pregnancy and a baby. L and I visited Babies R Us the other night, which also helped. Seriously, if you’re 4 months prego and you walk into that store and don’t feel the chi that is cute little baby clothes, you have no heart. And me? I have one. So, it worked. That and the history review. And the chakras.
A few weeks ago, I was joking that my tummy pooch had popped. Little did I know that 2 weeks later, my “loose” clothing would no longer be loose and I’d be running home at lunch to change my capris because they were making my round ligament pain worse. And thanks to the regularity of that ligament pain, my belly is officially out there. No going back. Today, I’m in maternity clothes for the first time in my life. And can I tell you? I feel comfortable!
Well, except for the ongoing bouts of windedness, constipation, headaches, fatigue, and smell sensitivity. But, those are all getting somewhat better and I’m feeling more and more like myself. Well, like myself with a popped prego belly. And ligament pain that makes me catch my breath and go “oh!” and lean forward at a 45 degree angle until it passes, holding my hands on my lower abdomen all the while. (Think pulled muscles in both sides of your lower obliques, spasming at the same time.)
Just a couple more weeks until the next visit, and The Ultrasound, and feeling this kid swimming in the bathwater of my uterus. Until then, I’m SO looking forward to napping whenever I want this weekend and hoping I don’t have to get up to pee to many times during the night (because it’ll involve unzipping sleeping bags and tents and walking through the forest by flashlight in the cold to get to the bathroom. . . )
