Sooooooo 8 weeks yesterday!!! Whoo hoo!!! I have actually started forming a belly. I didn't know it would come this fast but I LOVE it! I can't wait until it gets bigger. Still no weight gain on the scale though (which is kind of weirding me out because I don't know where the belly is coming from if there is no weight being added). Oh well I'm sure the weight is just around the corner :).
Now for the title of the post, I am one big fart joke. My god the gas that comes from being pregnant! LOL it is absolutely indescribable. I feel so bad for the people I work with, even though I'm not sure they've noticed yet (at least not until now right? :)). The thing is I can't figure out why gas is a major symptom of pregnancy. I'm not really eating any different because we already ate pretty healthy so maybe its the vitamins??? I have no idea. It does get very humorous around our house though. Andy is pretty proud sometimes of how loud they are. (Can you tell we've been married long enough to be comfortable now? LOL). The funniest part is that I have no idea the fart is coming. It sneaks up on me just as much as the victim nearest me. Most of the time I laugh just because its so daggum funny but sometimes it can be embarrassing. I'm just waiting for it to happen during a tour of the lab by our supervisors LOL. Oh that will be a blog post for sure!
So far I am adapting to this pretty well. The only thing that has gotten me irritated has been taking the vitamins. A little back history, I have a severe problem swallowing pills. When I was in high school I got an Advil liquid gel stuck in my throat, and since then my brain thinks that is going to happen every time. I literally have to stand with my eyes close and head held back concentrating on swallowing this thing that feels like it is growing by the second. Anyway, because of my psychological issue with pills it is a daily battle to swallow two pills twice a day. More than once I have gagged and even dry heaved trying to get them down, and quite frankly its really getting on my nerves. Its the only thing thus far that has made me mad about my pregnancy and technically it has nothing to do with baby soybean. I'll get used to it I suppose or I'll just do it like I have been doing because its necessary for my child to be born healthy.
Only 32 weeks to go!! OOOOOH and only 7 weeks until our first ultrasound :) I can't wait to see little soybean moving around and hear his/her heart beating :)))
Hey if you're having a hard time with the pills, try children's chewable tablets! If you look at the back it's got the same stuff in it as prenatal vitamins (my doc recommended them to me) =)
ReplyDeleteI have thought about that and have taken them in the past just for the regular vitamin, but I found that the chalky ones is a texture thing and the chewy ones taste funky to me. I don't know maybe I'm not meant to take vitamins :) I also wanted to make sure they were food based to make sure I am getting all the nutrients possible.... tonight I actually had no problem getting them down.... could have been the post it was rehab to me :)
