So far it's been a pretty rough road. As I'm sure it always is for new mothers. But I am constantly finding I need to remind myself that it will all be worth it in the end.
I've wanted a family of my own for quite some time now. Esp. as I am getting on in years. I know 33 isn't old, but when you have a biological clock forever counting down, it seems that the desire to not become an old maid is emphasized.
That said, I have been both elated to finally be able to start this...
However, I've learned that the burdens of motherhood, are . . . well... not as easy-breezy as most women will lead you to believe...
And for those of my friends who are interested in how I've been doing, I've decided to try and start this pregnancy diary for my blog.
Day 5 - Week 11:
The nausea has lessened. As I near the end of the first trimester. I'm grateful to have made it through what they call the roughest part. I've been told by a nutritionist that the second trimester is supposed to be the "Happy Trimester".
I hope that's true.
Since it's start, I've had the WORST Nausea I've ever had my entire life! I've had moments where I thought for sure, my food would come up. And sometimes it seemed to be triggered by something as simple as a smell!
Luckily I have NOT as of yet thrown up. Whenever the nausea has hit, I have been able to mitigate it. Using ginger. My wonderfully supportive partner in crime will make me a lovely hot cup of Ginger Tea with honey. Which has helped the nausea immensely. And he's taking special care to keep our fridge freshly stocked with Ginger Ale. -^.^-
I'm soo lucky to have found such a wonderful man. 💕
The Ginger Tea, and Ginger Ale, has been a LIFESAVER. When it comes to the extreme nausea I've been experiencing.
This illustration is soo tru ---/^
I've had the Naseua and the pain in my boobs, (which seemed to have ballooned).
Not to mention...
FATIGUE!
I should have been warned about the fatigue! Because it seems to have hit me like a freight train! I'm literally tired like ALL THE TIME!!
It's been relentless!
The only thing that has helped with it?
Vitamins!!!
B12 is my new best friend.
And without those prenatals, I would be forced to sleep ALL FREIKEN DAY!!!
SERIOUSLY!
I'm like a chronically exhausted Cow, without them!
I'm pretty sure what it is (scientifically speaking 👓👔) is that without the added nutrients, the baby is taking ALL of the precious nutrients from me, this results in my nutrients being greatly taxed and leaving me with none to allow my body to function efficiently thereby leaving me with NO ENERGY whatsoever!
So... yeah....
💊💊 VITAMINS!! 💊💊
But like I said, the nausea seems to have calmed down. And now as long as I am gulping down the B12s, the Prenatals, and the rest of my Vital Vitamins, I am finally seeing some light at the end of the tunnel.
I only hope, that the next Tri, will be easier than this one. Like that nutritionist said.
Happy. 😕
Poor Bubelleh... He misses the spooning. 😓
