I feel gross.
Not revolting
Just generally icky.
If you don't want to know more, then stop reading here, because what follows is a pouting session:
ARRRGGGG I just want to feel normal-ish. I know, it wasn't long ago when I was wondering if I was normal, since I didn't really FEEL pregnant. Foolish me. FOOLISH FOOLISH ME!
I feel gross.
I wake up and I feel fine, but the minute I start moving around, the monster demands to be fed. It can't even wait until I am out of the shower either. If I wait too long before feeding time, it makes my tummy feel so bad I feel like puking... which isn't very smart of it, considering that when I feel like puking, I just want to lay down and in no way feel like putting something INSIDE my stomach/the angry volcano.
Also, if I eat an ENTIRE bagel, apparently that is TOO MUCH food all at once, and it gets angry AGAIN! Then for an hour or so I feel entirely disgusting, which is worse than icky but not as bad as revolting. Then, an hour after that I am suddenly STARVING again.
For two days, about a week ago, I felt sick absolutely all day, and I haven't felt that way again (thank goodness). Now just about every other hour I feel fine, and the rest of the time I feel gross. I have not thrown up or anything, but sometimes I wish I would just vomit and get it over with.
I had an interesting conversation with my man the other day about vomit... speaking of... it turns out that there are people who would rather feel absolutely revolting for days rather than vomit and get it all over with. Like, he hates throwing up so much that if he had the choice of throwing up and feeling better, or feeling horrible for days and not throwing up, he would rather feel HORRIBLE for days. I didn't even know that people like that existed. I would much rather throw up and get it over with...
Any way. I feel gross. And I have packing to do. and shopping, and....... I just want to curl up in a little gross ball and tell the world to go away...
They say it gets better.
We shall see :)

A (somewhat) long time coming
For posterity (if this lasts that long) I am going to write some stuff here so I remember (and just in case future mothers want to know)
1. I am pregnant. It took about 11 months of trying, but what actually worked was ...hmm, I did write it down, but then I remembered some of the people who might read this blog.. so I erased it. .I didn't think Jeremy would like me saying this to the internet, so if you REALLY want to know (and don't just want to embarrass my husband) just ask me.
If you actually want to know more, keep reading. If not, you should stop here....
Ok, you asked for it
2. First sign: Implantation spotting. Two or three tiny drops of blood between periods. I thought it was weird, but I had been hyper-sensitive about everything, so I decided to ignore it.
3. Second sign: weird aches. my lower, front side, left or right but not both at the same time. Not sharp pain, and not quite like cramps. It was weird.
4. Third sign: Smell sensitivity. I got into someone's car and smelled an overwhelming scent of peanut butter...it made me want to puke (but I didn't). No one else smelled peanut butter.
5. I was about to take off on a 4 day field trip and I get car sick (really bad). I had found some motion sickness medicine that worked really well for me, but I wanted to be 100% sure I wasn't pregnant before I took it. The night before the trip, I took a pregnancy test. It was positive. I didn't believe it. The next morning I took 2 more. (one the same brand, then I thought I should try a different brand). They both said positive.
6. I didn't get sick any of the 4 days we were on the trip, and we drove a lot. This is a miracle! Also, I was supposed to get my period during this trip, and had been praying that it came before or after... I guess God decided on after... much after.
7. When I got back from my trip, I took the last pregnancy test (since they had come in sets of two, and if I was pregnant, I doubt it would last the years it would take for another one) and it was positive.
8. I have noticed getting tired more easily, just a little though. Also, hot flashes. I felt a little icky in my stomach today around 4pm. Teeth sensitivity. That was one I didn't expect. Also, the hot flashes were surprising. No breast tenderness though. And I don't have to pee any MORE often than normal... (yet, thank goodness...)
Any questions? Post them in the comments.
