OK, so after I filled out my weekly update above, I realized that not a single thing has changed. Wow! I almost want to take it down :)
This last week has however been a lot different mentally instead of physically. It's probably been the hardest week yet.
I have been a complete emotional wreck on the verge of tears at any given point. Some of it is valid, but of course to me it's 100 x's worse! I'm not really having these mood swings b/c I'm anxious about being a mom, but instead it's about my relationship w/my husband. I'm unusually needy right now & I'm worried of losing "us" in this new venture. Mostly b/c he's been gone and working so hard in order to take off with me when the baby comes. In the mean time, it's left me lonely in the most vital time of my pregnancy. Pathetic huh? I feel like a total baby even writing this!
Imagine it being your time of the month and exaggerated times 10! And usually I would say I feel sorry for my hubby, but he obviously needs to work a little on his nurturing skills ;) All he has to do is not ask me how I feel that day, and I break down crying "b/c he doesn't care." Ha!
I was always one of those girls who said "What does SHE have to cry about? At least she is pregnant!" well trust me...pregnancy brings plenty of things to cry about. Even if they are completely silly :)
On another note, I'm going in for my dreaded exam today. I took the day off to "prepare" and b/c I'm lazy and want to run errands instead of work!
I'm having my strep test and HIV test done today and hopefully my Dr. will prescribe me something for my sinus infection I've had for a week now. I'm not sure if he can do that or not, but I hope so. I don't want to have to go to my other Dr. After my appt, I'm on a mission to find a hospital gown/robe & slippers to wear. That's all I have left to pack for my hospital bag & then I'll be ready to go!

Know exactly how you feel! I've been an emotional wreck on and off these past couple of weeks. I think it's totally normal to be worried about how things will change between the two of you after baby. Things changed for us and it took time for us to find a new us.
Hope your appt went well and you were able to find the last of what you needed for your hospital bag. Not too much longer now!
I love ya and your sweet little perfect belly! I'm so sorry your emotions are everywhere, you know I'm here for you...can't wait to see what Dr. M says tomorrow
Love you chicky!
