I have heard that pregnant women have a glow about them. I don't know if that is a pile of crap, or if that simply does not apply to me.
Lately I feel more like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh. I don't have a tail that I am always losing, but I definitely have lost my brain half the time. I can go into a room for something and just from the walk from the couch to the bedroom I don't remember what the heck I am doing. I feel like I am simply going nuts more and more each day.
The other matter is this whole glowing thing. There is not even a little shimmer radiating from me. I am super excited about this baby....but no glowing, shimmering, sparkling, NOTHING. Once again, this is where the whole Eeyore thing comes into play. I have this perpetual cloud hanging over my head. It's not that I am grumpy or sad all the time, but my patience is very thin and I can cry at the drop of a hat. When you can cry during American Idol's first week of try-outs you have issues. The poor kids at school really get the brunt end of things. If you could put patience on a scale of 1 to 10- 1 being bad 10 being good- I'd like to think I used to be an 8 and a half to maybe a 9. Not anymore, I'm pretty sure I'm at a 4. In fact, I got more mad at a fellow employee the other day I could have punched her. I honestly can say I have never been so mad at someone I work with.
I know most women don't feel attractive at this time, but I really don't at all. Even at this early stage. Warning for all---do not call me Preggo! I hate that. I am not a spaghetti sauce. I have a baby growing in me, and I don't have the patience or a glowing body/attitude to deal with that particular comment.

hahaha you are so funny...don't worry, I haven't noticed any glowing around here either...But I totally agree that it is so so fun to be pregnant at the same time as everyone...it's like a little community and it's all people you already know and love! It's the best!
And the prego thing...I've totally thought "where did that come from?" I mean I get the nickname thing but it's not like prego sounds like a cute thing to be. Whatever.
well...the losing your mind thing, it doesn't change after you have the baby either...the glow, I think you have a glow! I think i did too, everything was new, it's all new, I loved it. You just need to be positive about yourself! Love you and the being you're creating!
Don't worry it is only temporary. Just make sure that you still tell your husband you love him in spite of what he did to you...haha. I just remember in that phase Jeremiah felt like he could do nothing right and I was always mad at him. Again it is only temporary and I bet that you are glowing!
Oh Tatum, that cloud is called hormones. And dont worry...it gets worse. haha. I was the most forgetful person when I was pregnant. I mean...REALLY BAD! And I thought it would get better after...nope still forgetful today. Sorry, I know this isnt great news, but its realistic news. LOL. And I apologize if I ever called you the "P" word. I do use that phrase...more out of laziness than anything else. haha. But I will not do it again. And lastly...be grateful that you dont have the "glow". The definition of the glow is when the weight starts to shift to your face. Thats how it was for me. So I HATED it when people told me I was glowing, especially when I wasnt even showing in my belly yet. I would always be like "Thanks, thats a nice way of telling me I look like a puffer fish!!" SO be grateful...no glow in the face is a definate PLUS!!
it's normal to loose your brain when your pregnant. the bad thing is if it doesn't come back after you have it. i still havent' found mine. if you see it could you send it back to me? thanks so much!
Oh wow I totally feel the same way. I feel like the biggest airhead right now for sure. I am always dropping things and loosing my train of thought. I made some food and forgot to put in the main ingredients, meat! Oh and about the glowing thing, I dont feel like I glow either so your not the only one.
I know this is random but my name is Heather(waite)Fuller....I am trevors cousin and have met you once before. I came across your blog by accident but thought it would be cool to keep in touch.Congratulations on the baby!:) I want to send you an invite to my blog so if you would like e-mail me your e-mail address and your blog url so I can add you to my page. heatherfuller82@msn.com Please tell Trevor I said hello and take care!:)
I know exactly how you feel. I have a friend who looks all cute and petite. I gaiend like 40lbs. Not as bad as some but I felt huge. And you know what...you feel worse than you really are. SO chin up. You are growing a beautiful person inside you. Nothing is better than that. :)
Hahaha, so cracking up because I know exactly how you feel. I wasn't one of those ones who loves being pregnant. I love the little one kicking inside me, but not all that goes with it. And about losing your mind, it happens, so maybe it will help you forget when you get so mad! But it will get more exciting and fun when you start feeling the baby and you get past the first three months. Give it a couple weeks and you may calm down... can't remember if I did, but you could!
Haha. I feel ya! I feel like Oscar the Grouch. And I forget so many things! I am not liking the fact that all these people say your memory never comes back! And I defently Do not feel a Glow about me. I doubt i will. I feel like a growing whale!
Funny funny. The same thing happens to me all the time! Jace and I were driving to Walmart the other night... and about half way there I HONESTLY could not remember what I needed to buy. I even made Jace stop and we were going to go home because I couldn't think of it! Yeah, I finally realized it was to buy prenatal vitamins.
And I DON'T glow either... or feel the least bit attractive (like I, honestly, thought I would... because I think almost every pregnant girl is way cute!). I just feel like a big blob!
nope no pressure at all! we will have kids when we are ready :)
You are cracking me up. I hope I didn't call you preggo the other day. LOL! I feel your pain on all the emotions. Hang in there!
Scientific: durong pregnancy your sweat and oil glands are on over drive because of all the crazy hormones in your body.the "glow" refers to the shinyer look your skin takes on because of all the extra oil. Other: it's a nice way of saying you look pretty and healthy. But all it really means is you have to wash your hair more and your deodorant wont work anymore!
That is hilarious!! I have to admit though. Eeyore is so my favorite!!!!! I'm just laughing about the American idol thing. I love you! You're so funny!!!! Please dont cry when you read this!! It's all good!
Hey, PREEEEEEEEEEEGO!!
What?! I mean, you practically triple dog dared me.
I just want you to know that I look at your blog everyday waiting for an update. I love everything that you write! So just know you have a fan... and that's me :)
