'Tis the Season

It was only after Monday's appointment that I let out a feeling. I would be 9 weeks on Thursday. It is Thursday today. I am 9 weeks.

On Monday evening, Season measured 8w5d. Lag bridged and overcome!

I am still adrift. The way I was soaked in CheekyBub's pregnancy is still not there. Honestly, there are moments when I am not conscious of the fact that I am pregnant.

My belly has popped. I had lost all pregnancy weight, but my tummy was still a bag of fruits, and it has rejoiced in going slam-dunk again.

In a few days from now, I will be off-work, but there are few things that need to be done before I leave, and so I am busy with that.

Frankly, I am very excited about going on the leave and I pray I would have no reason to join before the time is up unless I want to.

My appetite is wonky. But I do eat regularly. I love Java plums. And mangoes.

My skin has not turned oily and I am not losing hair like I was in my previous pregnancy.

And the cat is still not out of the bag in the office.

    Glad Season has caught up! 3 more weeks until the important tests, right?

    Will you let the office know or just let it be until you come back with a babe???

    Glad you are feeling well :-)

    Yes, so glad the news was good.

    Be easy on yourself. There is no "normal" or "should" for what to feel.

    I am so relieved things are going so smoothly. I can only imagine the slightly detached feeling is your minds way of protecting itself. I suspect it is completely normal for someone in your situation. {{{Hugs}}}, love, and prayers coming your way.

    So so glad things are looking good, I hope they keep looking that way. Thinking about you so much, and hoping so much for you and this little one. Hang in there.

    Glad you'll be going on leave soon too. That has to be a huge relief.

    It makes me smile to read this. :) Hope is there, I read it between your words. Glad that physically it is going better right now. Emotionally, you just feel however you want and don't feel bad about it. Your emotions are YOUR emotions, and they aren't bad or wrong. They just are. Keep on growing, little Season!!

    Catching up is good - and eventually, you will catch up with your emotions too. They will feel like the fit the situation.

    congrats on your pregnancy!
    I am just a few days behind you - I am 9w3d today - and also have a little bump, but most days I have a massive bloat.

    Good luck with your pregnancy - I will follow you!

I Should Have Known

Season...

With very limited time and access to the netz, I just want to declare that Lady Season is here. She arrived last Wednesday, and I will someday in future speak of how due to SuperPed's preparedness a crisis was averted. I tend to have firework endings. Her with me, and my first chance of mothering is like a spray of cold water on my face. I am very sleep deprived. Apparently, wise birds said to me that I should sleep when the girl sleeps, but so far my body schedule and kid's schedule are haywire. I hope to be better adapted to this soon. It is tough for me to find net time as of now, and there are a couple of things I want to post online, since CBub's dates also passed by recently, but so far it does not seem to be happening. And I just want to say thanks. Even though I am craptastic at responding, I am reading off and on as I can manage.
