I get emails from a couple different places during the week, and the one I got this morning was dead on what I am feeling like today! My nose has been so plugged, its like I am sick, but I am not. Also, I keep hurting my gums and even with a soft toothbrush, my gums are sensitive. So strange!!
(I can't get this off of CAPS for some reason... so sorry...)
Pregnancy hormones are pretty rough on your body, especially the teeth and gums, causing inflammation and making them more susceptible to plaque and bacteria. Your formerly healthy gums may have become super-sensitive and prone to bleeding. In addition, you might be coping with a chronic stuffy nose or even nosebleeds during pregnancy, also brought on by progesterone surging through your system. Fear not — it'll all pass."
I like these email updates because sometimes they are very interesting, and sometimes they are far out there. This same email also said I will be gaining about a pound a week. Wow... I have already put on 10 solid pounds! So a pound a week gives me anxiety! None of my 'normal' clothes fit me. I can still wear some tops, but not the bottoms. Also, its hard to button up my coats because my boobs are so big! They have a mind of their own!
I'm feeling better mostly. George and I plan on flying down to San Diego the last week of January for a five night getaway and 'Babymoon'!! We are excited, and after all that has happened this past summer, and fall we are due for a vacation. I'm excited to just relax and eat some good food. Also, go to the Zoo, and SeaWorld and have some decent weather!
George and I can't wait to find out the gender of Baby C! We were talking about it last night and we are both so giddy about it. I am dying to know... I dont' think I could ever NOT know, and wait till the end. I have so many unanswered questions... like how to decorate! And what colors we will have, future plans like sports or dance class... I just love daydreaming about it.
Over the weekend my dad told me how excited he is that I am having a baby. It meant so much to me! I know my parents are excited that this new chapter is opening for our family, but to hear just HOW happy they are was special. When I was planning on having a baby, I didn't feel super supported from many people about the decision George and I made. We are young still and our careers are 'young' but as soon as I became pregnant, everything changed. Parents and friends were elated about it, and it meant a lot to me to feel that support. After all I am going to be a MOM! :)
