Long ... Breakless ... Long

So yeah, my day was long. Hannah only took 2 naps of 20 min. each. Not really enough time to kick off my shoe and relax a little.

I'm not feeling the pregnancy fatigue yet. Mainly just the "Hannah" fatigue :)
Also, luckily, everything seems to be staying the same size - so far.

I did make it to the gym last night (thanks Shawna for making me get my ass in gear) so score one for me. And even though I stopped for a Whopper on the way home, I fell asleep with the Whopper on my night table and my computer on my lap. So I guess the calories I burnt at the gym stayed off - for now.

I still don't really feel pregnant as I have almost no symptoms. Ok, I lied, maybe I'm a tad more emotional ... just a tad. My fingers are swelling up at night a lot now. This didn't happen to me until my 8th month last time. I'm guessing my 2 rings (wedding band and engineering band) will have to come off soon. Oh, and the other yucky symptom I have is insomnia. I can't sleep much or conitnuously. I had this last pregnancy and used to play on my laptop at night in bed around 3am ... until my hubby started getting scared when he'd wake up and he'd "see the light".

One super thing - I've just doubled my wardrobe as I can start wearing maternity clothes if I want to. I rationalize it by making up for last pregnancy where I didn't wear them until the end!

Someting that is making/will make the pregnancy easier is that Hannah just started taking her own bottle (a little) so that will give me 2 hands a bit more.

Another day ... another 24 hours with hope that I make it to the 3 month mark. Even though this is my 2nd pregnancy, I am still scared for all the "what if's" and "can happens". Maybe soon, I'll actually stop taking tests.
However, this time around, I know the progression of the fears:
0-3 months (prego) - fear of miscarriage
3-9 months (prego) - fear of something wrong with your child
0-6 months (after birth) - fear of SIDS
6-their entire life - just plain fear

So I'm guessing eventually you just accept it as part of life. I hope :)

G'night,
Sharon
