Week 7
- Does this Ginger Ale thing really work?
- Mmm, cheese toast!
- It's amazing how I can drink so much, go to the bathroom so often, and still have so much color in my pee!
Week 9
- Eew... nobody mention Ginger Ale.
- Sorry Jake... I usually like sloppy joes, but that just looks gross right now.
Week 10
- Must - cook - dinner. But everything sounds - unappetizing.
Week 12
- Sooo... I've pretty much only gained one pound so far. Then why is it all poking out like that?
Pretty much all trimester
- Why did no one warn me that I would be so tired? I never feel like doing anything. And since when am I so durned cranky!?
- Wow. I never feel like vomiting! Wait . . . nope. Nothing
Second Trimester
Week 14
- Whoa!! I feel like cooking again! Where's my cookbook?
Week 15
- See, bladder, it says right here in the book that I should be experiencing a decrease in frequency of urination. Decrease!
- Uhm, 4 pounds in 6 days? Really?
Week 17
- Whoa... that might have been the baby! Or it was just gas.
Week 18
- Nope, definitely not gas!
Ultrasound appointment
- Oops, I forgot I was supposed to come with a full bladder... "Sure, full as can be." Not much I can do about it now, anyway.
- Hey, it's a boy! Awww, isn't he cuuuuute!?
- Who knew they moved around so much? Weird that I don't feel him more.
- Really? You wanted my bladder full, and now you're just going to have me empty it? What is the point?
- Gaa... more ultrasound goo. Four applications is definitely enough.
Week 19
- Oooo, cookies! *nom nom nom nom* Don't look at me, I'm hideous! . . . *nom nom nom*
Week 20
- Now you listen to me, body. If I'd known beforehand that you were going to eat a dozen gingersnaps in one sitting, I would not have made them!
Week 21
- We meet at last, pregnant lady waddle. My, how you sneak up on a person.
- Sorry, Jake. Business hours are over. I don't even have one of those "Be back in 5 minutes" signs - looks like there's no way of knowing.
- Heartbuuuuuurn!!
- Ha! Wow, it's like he's doing kick boxing in there.
Week 23
- My hair is so silky soft...
- Bladder - please wait until there's more than 2 Tablespoons before telling me to go to the bathroom.
Week 24
- My heartburn keeps waking me up in the middle of the night. Now I have to prop myself up with pillows like an old person to keep all that unwelcome acid in its place. I feel like I'm sleeping in a dentist's chair.
- April, 2012- Wow. Who knew that just days after this last update, I would go into preterm labor and have the baby at 24 5/7 weeks. Life...
