Pregnancy...
Is really such an amazing thing... When I go through all of the images of how much a baby develops from week to week, inside the womb, I can't help but wish there was some sort of uterocam with which I could watch my own little Gummy Bear growing... In just the last seven days, for instance, Baby Center says that Gummy has gone from the size of a poppy seed to the size of a sesame seed... That's exponential growth here, people! No wonder my energy is all gone... Teeheehee... Now, if only I didn't have to take the progesterone supplement (to decrease chances of miscarriage) that is making my morning sickness kick in an entire 4-5 weeks sooner than it did for Boogie... I understand why it is so important to take -- hence the fact that I am not stopping -- but kinda wonder if the sickness factor doesn't prove that my hormone level is high enough to go without... Bah... If it gets unbearable -- like if I can't move or eat, or if I start puking up everything I eat -- I can always call and see what they think... It's nice to have the perspective (and "training") of another pregnancy and child, I must say... This time around, I know what to expect (and what the warning signs of hyperemesis are)... And I also know how to force myself on when I feel like just curling up and napping every time I feel exhausted... I guess I should thank Boogie for giving me that sleep-deprivation training these last 4 years, but I don't quite feel ready for that... Maybe I will just have to give him an extra kiss without an explanation... Don't want him to think that I expect any more "help" in the future! Later days...
