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!
