The secret is out?

I think it is becoming apparent to those around me that I am pregnant. A couple of the volunteers the other day were giving me weird looks. I guess it should be obvious, considering it's now five months. It makes me nervous to think about having to talk to all these people about this pregnancy, these people who didn't know me until months after Serenity had died, don't know that I lost a my first daughter, that I had a d&c a week before starting this part-time job. And now, I am afraid, it will be open season on Ya Chun's body, lifestyle, shopping choices etc. I only have a few coworkers, who are mostly kinda in the know, but I have about 20 different voulunteers, many of whom like to over-share. I don't reciprocate the over-sharing tendancies. Let's hope it is a really really busy day with lots of guests coming in asking gardening questions on Thursday!

Yesteday and today my girlie parts are all achy and hurting. I guess my pelvis is rearranging.

Beanie - please stop rearranging mama's furniture please - she kinda needs to be able to walk.

I can't stand up or sit down. I am fine in one place, but not hte transition. Also, now I am walking around like a geisha girl, with tiny little steps trying not to get anything out of place.

I have been feeling Beanie move. Last night she was clunking around int here for a good while. It makes me happy.

The last week I have had a general sense of well-being. It's kinda nice - I forgot what this felt like. I think I was depressed at the onset of the pregnancy - I was like an invalid, between the morning sickness, exhaustion and back pain. The chiropractor is making progress on the back, which helps, and it was actually sunny here for a few days, which really helped. And, Beanie makes me happy, especially now that I can feel her and we had a good ultrasound. And I know that it's a girl. I like knowing, I guess it makes it more real to me.

Well, that was a bit of a ramble - can I blame it on pregnancy brain?

Goodness, your child is starting the re-arranging early haha. Mine left me alone until 25ish weeks.
Enjoy the good days, I know I do, the days when she is kicka kicking away in there and I am so happy. I do have more good days then bad and I love that :)
Ahh baby love.
I am just telling all strangers that yes, this is my first pregnancy. I don't want to get into it.

So glad you're able to enjoy some good days - I'm so glad Beanie is letting you know she's there by moving around! Hopefully your volunteers won't be too overbearing.

I think it really takes a while to get in to the swing of pregnancy, and especially pregnancy after loss(es). Enjoy these good days, and I know what you mean about your girl parts hurting!

Sophie said...

Yep, you can. Glad you're feeling better. I love it when they start to move. Feels more real.
