This week is the 10th week of pregnancy… which means that Kumquat is roughly the size of… A KUMQUAT!! It’s like he/she is extra kumquatty.
The nausea seems to be subsiding… somewhat. I still have to eat about every 2 hours to keep from getting too empty of a stomach.
Also, I’m starting to notice that my pants are… uncomfortable. Not so much that they’re too tight or that I can’t button them, but they’re just uncomfortable. Maybe in the next few weeks we’ll be switching over. Today I offically used the McGyver method of buttoning pants with a hair tie or rubber band. I’m still not really showing, so that helps me to feel like Kumquat is actually there, not just a figment of my imagination.
Speaking of which, if it weren’t for the utter exhaustion and the nausea, I could see how someone might not know they were pregnant (at least for a while). I still don’t really “feel pregnant.” Maybe that’s just because I’m not showing yet, and other people can’t obviously tell, but I still have to remind myself, from time to time, that this is actually real.
Have you already noticed how spacey I am? Maybe that’s not new, but I feel even more absent minded than usual. How is that possible?
