"The nausea goes away at the end of the first trimester and then you forget all about it" they say
"I never felt more beautiful than when I was pregnant" they say
What they don't say? They don't say the nausea actually is still going fairly strong at 16 weeks with no end on the horizon. And there's no "boundless energy" either. So far I don't super love being pregnant. I cried for an hour the other day because I didn't feel well, and I was hot, and dizzy, and my belly hurt, and justin accidentally packed my lunch instead of his, and well, hormones.
And I still have raging pregnancy acne. So, so much for the feeling beautiful part. The only glow my skin emits is from the radiating red pimples on my chin and jawline. Cute.
Plus! I almost fainted in Gap maternity today. Seriously? I was asking them if they had any Always Skinny Jeans in stock and then I got too hot. And the walls started closing in. And then I had to leave, mid skinny jean conversation I said "I'm sorry I'm overheating bye" and started ripping of my clothes and purse and flinging them at my mom. In the middle of Gap. While the employee was still talking to me. I'm still not sure what my deal was. I had a scarf on and the mall was warm and I guess it was lunch time and I guess I was thirsty. But seriously, I'm not top notch at being pregnant.
We did do a bang up job, however, at maternity clothes shopping. And why on earth don't they make all jeans this comfy? No buttons digging into your belly is amazing. Plus who heard of buying 4 things from h&m on a whim without trying it on and having 3 of the items fit? Luck baby. Pure luck. Plus we got a delicious lunch out of all of it. So all in all it was a good day. And we may have found our car seat and stroller? I'm exhausted now. Good news, we get BLTs for dinner.
