I was having minor pelvic pain a few weeks ago, that has pretty much gone away. The doctor said the baby moved up out of my pelvis and is floating high. Neither of my other kids were nice enough to do that for their dear ol' mom. I think they lived low the entire time making movement a lot harder than it should be. Other good news is I weigh 9 pounds less than I did at this time when pregnant with both Macy and Parker. All in all, I've had about 4 days of morning sickness, and a few headaches, but nothing serious. I had one day where I had some painful Braxton Hicks contractions, but again it wasn't anything I couldn't handle.
Emotionally though, this pregnancy is the worst. Oh Gail, you say, quit your whining. Well guess what, I don't want to.
I'm 12 weeks away from my due date and all I have planned is that this baby will come out of me at some point. I don't know who will watch my kids. I don't know who will be with me. I don't even know what we're going to name Tiny Baby yet (Not that I'll share that until he/she arrives). Dale keeps insisting he'll be back, but I just can't bring myself to count on it. I just figure it's better to be prepared for him to just not be here instead of getting my hopes up that he will.
I'm extremely moody and borderline crazy these days too. I can't decide if it's deployment related or pregnancy related though. It doesn't really matter I guess. All I know is I'm ready to A. Get these pregnancy hormones out of my body and B. Be done with this deployment.
Alright, enough complaining. I'm going to share my belly shot comparison from all 3 of my babies.
Left: 25 weeks pregnant with Parker. Middle: 26.5 weeks pregnant with Macy. Right: 26 weeks pregnant with Tiny Baby. I think you can tell the baby is high and my booty is slightly smaller. Or maybe that's wishful thinking?
I'd say you're allowed to whine if you want to! You're such a strong woman - I know you'll make it through this. Keeping you in my prayers.
