There will be days I literally wake up and I'm mad at the world and the next minute I'm all smiles. I know this isn't unusual during the first trimester but why am I still having these crazy emotions? There are other days when I'm crying for no apparent reason and my husband just looks at me, unsure of what to do. And when I'm back to my normal self, I can't help to think how crazy my emotions are! On the physical note, my belly is so much more noticeable now and I can feel the little baby inside me move more often then before. My stomach will get really hard and it's gets a little bit more challenging for me to breath. I still get my usual headaches- but now I think they're more then just hormonal headaches. Every time I read or look at the computer for a short while my eyes starts to hurt and when I close them I start to feel dizzy; And the headache I get while this is all happening is so intense that I just have to lay down and put something over my eyes. I need to see an Ophthalmologist soon to rule out the need for glasses (cross fingers). I've never had it this intense before.
I missed my second trimester screening because I've been busy taking care of sick daughter and then I got sick. And her birthday just passed so I've been busy planning it, cleaning up, opening presents, entertaining people etc. The next thing I new I was at the lab trying to get my blood drawn and they tell me I have missed the time frame in which I was suppose to do it. I've been so exhausted. To top it off, I get overwhelmed really easily so seeing all those people and hearing all those kids yelling at the party has really got to me. It was just a reminder of how it will be when my second child enters into the world. There will be so many crazy days. I should be getting an ultrasound soon to check on her growth & development. My first trimester screening was good, so I'm hoping this ultrasound shows nothing but good news as well.
20 weeks down, 20 more to go :) I'm half way there!
