Post 197...Are you still there?

This past week has been fairly tame as far as pregnancy symptoms go. So much in fact that it has me worrying if they're doing okay. I guess I figured my symptoms would be ramping up until I made it to the second trimester when it's suppose to simmer down. But it seems like everything has calmed down a lot already. I feel some queasiness every now and then and occasionally some heartburn, but otherwise not much else. I know it's TMI but even my movements (yup, I'm talking about my poop. Told ya...TMI) have been easier. Of course, part of that is because of the meds they put me on for my bladder infection. An unfortunate side affect of the meds was major loose poops. Aaaaaaaaaaaanyway, maybe I've just been so distracted that my symptoms haven't stood out that much to me. It was a hellacious week at work where they basically had me running laps around the place!

I'm still falling asleep super early and I swear my boobs are exploding in size! Yesterday I couldn't even fit in one of my cute t-shirts because my boobs were too mashed in it. I know I'm still getting plenty of symptoms to tell me that I'm still growing a baby, but I'm a first class professional worrier....it's what I do. If worrying was a job, I'd be CEO by now! What is getting to me, I suppose, is the announcement to all our family and friends. Letting everyone know opens up the possibility of everyone knowing if we were to miscarry. I don't know why that bothers me. You would think I would want the support if that were the case but, in some ways, I'd feel like I let everyone down. Not to mention, it would be the never ending subject. Every time I'd be around friends it would be nothing but sensitive conversations and sympathy which I can only take so much of. I just want so badly for Pickle to be okay and to carry out full term happy and healthy. At least I have another check up with the doctor in just a few weeks. If all goes well, I'll be in my second trimester by then!

Knock knock.
Who's there?
Baby.
Baby who?
Baby Pickle!...I know...clever right? Hey, cut me a break. I'm not allowed to have coffee anymore so don't expect me to be witty this early in the morning! lol
