Just when I thought morning sickness was going away I had a few bad days where brushing my teeth made me vomit! At least I was okay for my dental appointment, where my gums bled "like a normal pregnant woman!" But at least the teeth are clean and healthy and cavity free. And I didn't gag or barf in front of anyone :)
Lately, I have been suffering with insomnia and mood swings. Maybe one is causing the other?! My insomnia is strange - for me anyway. I pass out as soon as my head hits the pillow around 9:30pm. Usually around 1 or 2 am I get up to pee, of course. And then I cannot get back to sleep. I'm still tired. I'm not particularly worried about anything. I'm usually in a good mood. But I will be lying in bed wide awake until about 4am. (I estimate. After 3am I refuse to look at the clock anymore.) I've heard it is common for pregnant women. I'm just not used to it. I'm the type of person who used to be able to sleep through the night and my alarm clock.
During the day I have been having mood swings, which I was somewhat prepared for. I had usually been quite moody when I was suffering PMS. But now my loved ones are unprepared. Any second I could snap for no reason. Some times they bring it on - I'm pretty sure of it. They will chuckle at me saying that I am being bossy! Well, that just pushes me into bitch mode! If they would just do as I say without any comment I would be fine...LOL! Oh and then I cry because I think they don't love me anymore...or some other crazy notion.
I know "they" say it is the hormones that make pregnant ladies moody. I'm thinking if I could just sleep a straight 8 hours or so I might be fine.
I am meeting my OB/GYN on Wednesday for the first time. I'm having mixed feelings about that. I want to meet her and I have questions that beg to be answered. But I'm also due for a pap :/ Thrilling!!!
I'm really looking forward to next week...the first ultrasound!!!!
