Every day I slash through another day finished in my pregnancy with a blue highlighter. It's been approximately 70 days according to the calender. It feels like 700. The pregnancy calender provides details of the baby's development and sometimes tidbits about my "development." Development is actually a good word. It envelops the weight gain, the mood changes, the skin issues, the fatigue and all the other things I am forgetting since I also have pregnancy amnesia. The calender told me I might be experiencing that. Lovely.
I have been feeling less sick. After a good month of colds, stomach bug, nausea and fatigue. I think I may have a grip on the strategies to keep me sane. According to my calender, if I eat small meals all day long the nausea will back off. Only problem, I don't carry a refrigerator with me everywhere I go so I am eating crappy food. I totally intended to keep only fruit for snacks and flavored water or juice to drink...but it's not working. I also wanted to have "me" time every evening and walk my stress of work and pregnancy away. So far all I have done is some resistance band work for my back and a lot of good sleeping. I know this is temporary and that I should be enjoying all of this. One day I am going to long for another pregnancy and the feelings of maternal business. But, today I am wondering why women are wired so insanely to long for this and to FORGET how damn hard it is.
All-in-all I am happy to not be sick. I can't wait to get back to the gym with some of my old energy (when it returns) and put some kick into my step again.
