this pregnancy is so very different from the other 3. what does this mean? all 3 kids that i already have are so different. i can't imagine what this one is going to be like.
so, normally i feel so sick in the morning, and get a little better throughout the day.
normally i'm not really emotional or hormonal.
normally i can hardly walk for exercise, much less do anything more strenuous.
normally i can barely get my family through the necessities of a day (dressed, fed, maybe counters wiped off; certainly no deep cleaning or extra things going on)
well, this time i feel GREAT in the mornings - especially when i run - and then i start feeling bad in the afternoon and go downhill from there. by the time Pat gets home, i'm normally on the couch and can hardly stand up straight.
i think that's a result, though, of the fact that i can do EVERYTHING like "normal" - i can still deep clean, i can still exercise like crazy, nothing has had to change.
but, i'm VERY emotional and hormonal - i mean, UGLY sobbing to a song i'll hear on the radio. i think Pat's not sure which was worse - me being awfully sick, or me as a bi-polar pregnant woman. he never knows what he's going to get!
so, to sum up, i've always said that i hate being pregnant. i LOVE having kids, but i hate being pregnant. i had changed my mind at the beginning of this pregnancy. but, i changed it back. it's such an amazing privilege and blessing to be able to have children. but, i still hate being pregnant. just for the record.

This is great! I love reading about your pregnancy. It's okay to be a bi-polar pregnant woman, I'm a crazy woman (yes, crying at sappy commercials and everything) most of the month and I'm not pregnant! :)
You're hilarious! Can't wait to talk with you today and hear all about this. I think you're totally wiped out at the end of the day because of all the crazy things you're DOING during the day while you're "feeling great and normal!" Sorry you're back to hating pregnancy! :( You just look so GREAT while you are!! :)
I am with Leah.. I have no excuses for my bi-polar moments of crying to a song or something I am reading. Zach always looks at me and laughs. And I am usually crying for joy. Eli always comes up and gives me a kiss and says "mama, don't cry, it will be alright because I love you." And that makes me cry MORE!!!
