Because I hear you are all dying to know :-) I'm in that weird poochy stage. My clothes don't fit and my husband says I've looked pregnant for months. But when I tell people the news and that I'm 21 weeks, they look down at my stomach and tell me I don't look pregnant at all.
I feel him moving all the time now. Especially during a meal (blood sugar spike?) and when I change positions - sitting to standing and such.
My belly button is disappearing way too fast! It's kind of freaking me out.
The most annoying pregnancy change? My absurdly strong pulse. I hear it when I'm trying to sleep at night. I feel it in odd places like my scalp, my shoulders, and pretty much my entire abdomen. I feel my heart pounding with extra stroke volume when I climb stairs. I swear I can even feel my inferior vena cava flowing. My hand veins are so engorged with extra blood that they are raised and fat. L&D nurses must have the easiest patients for placing IVs.
I'm going to post a couple things I wrote during the first trimester, just to catch up my journalling.
