i learned that doctors count the "age" of a pregnancy by starting with the first day of the last actual period... so you are actually not even pregnant during the first two weeks of the "pregnancy." i find that very weird.
symptoms lately:
bloaty, heavy stomach 24/7
sore boobs that seem to be growing
odd appetite--less than usual, kinda picky (i've been eating 80% fruit)
super slow digestion
f a t i g u e especially in the afternoon
really sentimental, crying about silly things
vivid, unusually emotional dreams (rage/jealousy)
"stretching" feelings in my uterus area, like pulling or slight cramping
faint spotting, likely caused by sex the other day
oh, and my libido is through the roof.
i've really committed to a totally "granola" lifestyle now that i am pregnant... no more coffee, alcohol, refined sugar or flour, deodorant, shampoo, scented lotions or other products, only organic food, bottled chlorine-free water, etc etc... and i've been jogging almost every day.
i got rid of an entire cupboard full of chemical toiletries and i am really proud of myself for it. i'm using handmade-only now for almost everything i touch (even toothpaste). i'm not taking any chances! and it feels good, i just wish i had done this a long time ago. i guess i never had a good enough reason.
it's been interesting to experience how this has changed my perspective on my life so drastically, and so quickly. i tend to have trouble getting rid of old things because they always seem to have some kind of value to me, but now it's very easy... i ask myself "what place will this have in my life as a mother?" and the answer is usually: none. before, i could always find a reason to keep things long past their point of usefulness. so this is helping to clear out my spaces, both physically and mentally. it's great.
next time: about that saturn return on the way...
