Sunday update on spotting

It’s about bedtime…the spotting stopped around 5 or so, although this evening I did have some vague pain in my low right abdomen, around the area of my right ovary. I have pain in this area occasionally over the years, I attribute this to ovulation or my menstrual cycle. I feel okay, and I’m staying positive. My plan is to call the doctor’s office tomorrow to see if I can get an appointment tomorrow instead of waiting until Tuesday. Even though I feel fine, I’m still more concerned for Coz. He said today he thinks he has defective sperm, the poor guy. I’d also really like to know what’s going on, and when I can expect to have sex again. I had a nightmare last night he and I were ‘fooling around’ and his penis started bleeding. :-(

On a more positive note, I’ve dug out the baby rings blanket I started crocheting a few (ok, several) years ago and am working on it again. I’m hoping to be able to make lots of little and not-so-little things for the baby, provided my wrists hold out. We’ll see what the morning brings though, and for now I’m off to bed, hoping to fall asleep within an hour’s time.

Early pregnancy, early changes

When I told Coz I was pregnant, after he said “congratulations” he said “I knew you were”. He said I’m glowing, and I wasn’t as bitchy (great, huh?). Well, the so-called glow is a wonderful sheen from all the grease and oil in my hair and on my face. Thank you hormones.

I’ve also not gotten a decent night’s sleep in about 3 weeks, or roughly since the second I conceived. Ok, maybe this is a bit of an exaggeration, since after it took me an hour to fall asleep last night I didn’t wake up at all during the night to pee.

My boobs are also about a full cup size larger (I think), and they’re sore as hell. It feels like I’ve got two large ticks on my chest and they’re ready to pop! What the hell am I going to do when the milk actually comes in after delivery?

I’ve not had any actual morning sickness although my taste in food has shifted to essentially anything with cheese. If this continues, this kid’s gonna be born with whiskers and a tail! I’m actually hoping for the morning sickness though. I never had it with my 1st pregnancy (I never had ANY of this) and I never was able to join in the “let’s talk about how our pregnancies went” chatter because everyone else did get sick, usually for months, and they don’t want to hear from me and how easy I had it.

So, that’s it for weird bodily functions and whatnot for now. I can’t wait to see what else happens!
