Hormones

Poor, poor, patient Chris. I do not deserve him....

Last night I was absolutley LIVID with Chris because he wouldn't stop on his way home and pick up vacuum cleaner bags for me. I was even MORE mad that he dare suggest that I just "pull some out of the full bag" so that I could finish vacuuming. There I was scrubbing spots out of the carpet (that at the time I was CONVINCED he put there) and he is telling me to just pull some out of the bag!?!? Well I never!! By the time he got home I could at least see straight again but this emotional rollercoaster ride was far from over. Can you believe he didn't even notice the small (I mean tiny) carpet spots I had slaved over getting out? What was he....blind!? I manage to let him eat dinner in peace, but he is still completely unawares of the degree to which I am fuming inside. Then, my emotions do a complete 180 surprising even me. Chris was going to get up and do dishes but the thought of him not being by my side was just too much to bear!! So what do I do? Burst into tears, of course. You should have seen the look on his face. I disolve into a blubbery mess but THEN, it dawns on me that I am just being ridiculous so I break into a fit of hysterical laughter all the while tears continue to stream down my face. Oh man. I must have looked like a complete lunatic. The wonderful husband he is, he just sat there and held me till I got it all out. I'm sure he was a little afraid of me at that point as well. Oh boy, this is going to be a fun and completely crazy pregnancy.

Checkin in on Week 10!

How Baby's doing:
I'm Swimming! The baby has begun moving inside the womb although it's too small for mom to notice. Most of the joints are formed now - elbow, wrist, knee, shoulder, and ankle as well as the hands, fingers, feet and toes.

How mom is doing:
The morning sickness may start to ease a bit. This week, we'll blame moodiness and a blotchy complexion on those wild hormones. Have heart ~ this is only temporary.
Your blood volume will increase 40%-50% during pregnancy. As a result, you may start to notice your veins more, particularly in your tummy, breasts, and legs.
