9 weeks 3 days
So it seems that at 9weeks I am feeling almost back to my normal self again. They say it’s the 12 week mark that you get that 2nd trimester boost of energy and feel great after the three months of hell but I will definitely not complain that mine is happening 3 weeks early. So far this has been a great pregnancy. Morning sickness was a breeze, well as breezy and morning sickness can get, my emotions were a little out of whack, I cried a lot, at the stupid things! For instance, I was watching the Oscar red carpet pre-show and I cried every time they would interview someone new. Why? I have no idea! Its far from sad, I usually LOVE watching the red carpet shows. After a while I got my act together and told myself I’m being silly. But then Cameron Diaz was being interviewed and I bawled like a baby because she looked old! I’m not even a Diaz fan or anything of that nature. Lol so emotions were defiantly on a roller coaster. I’m not a neat freak but I do keep my home very clean and expect my daughter and boyfriend to do their part as well so they also got the brunt of my pregnancy crazies. Whatever they did, it was not clean enough for me. I would unload and reload the dishwasher because I didn’t like the way my hunnie loaded it and all the while, not so nicely, explaining how to do it correctly. Thankfully, he just stood there and let my malfunction blow over. I Threw away one of my daughters puzzles because I asked her to pick it up and later she did not and I happened to step in a piece (these are the puzzles with a knob). Later that night at dinner Kendra explained to Hector that mommys acting crazy because the baby is giving her hore-bones. Haha I had to explain to her that for a few weeks mommy will feel all sorts of weird feelings because of the hormones the pregnancy is causing. For a three year old and a first time dad to be, they both were so great and handled my highs and lows very well. But now it seems everything is leveling out. So they are able to let their guard down now lol.
But as I was saying, this pregnancy seems to be going so well, easy even (knock on wood! I have about 6 ½ months left for it to go haywire) so my hope is that this baby is my ‘easy’ baby. Kendra is an amazing girl, very smart, needs to know why rules are the way they are and strives to understand the way things work, she is energetic and very athletic, she is always advanced in whatever it is she does, she’s talkative and a drama queen! Man oh man is she a diva! Sometimes I feel like I’m living with a teenager already! Haha and though this is EXACTLY how I wanted my first daughter, I hoped and prayed she would be independent and strong willed and beautiful of course, that it what I got but it sure is a handful. The biggest challenge is to have her know whos boss (me) but also allowing her to have her individuality and sense of self. Sooo by ‘easy’ baby I am just hoping he or she is like his/her daddy. Calm, relaxed and easy going. Though, isn’t that what most mother wish for? Lol especially mothers with children already, hands and schedules full 24/7. haha we will just have to see, but if this pregnancy is any indication as to how this baby will be, I think I can already kick my feet up and enjoy the view.
