I completely skipped a week. I know. I’d blame pregnancy brain, but I was fully cognizant I was doing it. First I couldn’t think of anything to write. Not that much changes from week to week, this early on. At least that’s what I thought. Then I just got really busy and overwhelmed. I like to write these on Wednesdays, so I don’t have to worry about that awkward “0 day” part of the heading. But Wednesday I went out after work, and then I never seemed to get back caught up. Before I knew it, it was Tuesday night again.
I said that not a lot changes from week to week, but I’m beginning to notice that my symptoms change drastically on Wednesdays. Last week the frequent urination began. Technically, I think it started Thursday, but we’re not going to quibble, right? I noticed it because although I use the restroom on an hourly basis during the day, I’m usually able to sleep through the night. Not anymore! I don’t even know where most of the stuff comes from, since it’s not like I’m drinking any more than usual. On the plus side, the constipation and cramping have completely disappeared. The bloating started last week too. It’s not so evident in the morning, when everything fits as it should, but right around 4pm, I feel like Violet from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. My middle must be expanding, because all of a sudden I am ever so aware of the waistband of my pants.
And this week? Well this week we can add the joys of desperate hunger which has begun today. Severe hunger which makes me feel frantic, like I might be forced to gnaw off my own arm. It’s obsessive. I can’t think of anything but what I can eat and when. I can’t wait to see what the rest of the week holds in store.
