What is not so peachy is how emotional and irrational I have been. I do not know what is real and what is not. I know some things are stupid, but I really feel the way I am feeling. I don’t know what to do to stop it or how to help it. I am not sure what are legit concerns or what are just my emotions flaring up…
It is absolutely amazing how much your body changes during pregnancy… It is not just the physical but the chemical as well.
I wonder why no one ever told me about any of these things. I feel as though these life altering details are somewhat important and one should be prepared for.
I am reading the books but, they aren’t too specific as to things you may be going through, more what is going on with the baby. It does touch on ways your body is changing and some new symptoms you might be feeling, but I don’t really think the descriptions do it justice… it is a lot worse than ” you may be feeling extra emotional this week” OK, thank you book, that was very helpful. I feel very prepared for the demons that are about to explode out of me and the gallons of tears that I didn’t know I could produce.
I can not use this as an excuse… I really want to, but I need to control myself. I need to be feeding my soul and preparing my heart for what is going on- I have not been faithful in doing this and I can see how a normal irrational moment turns into an irrational emotional day… and night. Please pray that I will get extra time today and the rest of my pregnancy to do this.
On a brighter note, I am not feeling completely sick all of the time anymore! Can I get an AMEN?! I am able to eat a little more than usual (not much) and I have not thrown up since the incident over Memorial Day weekend. My belly IS starting to poke- no matter what y’all think and I took my first real trip to the Maternity Store (which was quite overwhelming by the way).

Janet,
I definitely will be praying for you. I can’t say that I understand how you feel, but I know that I can get extra emotional during my period, and I end up getting offended and flipping out over the stupidest things that I wouldn’t normally even think about. I feel bad because it’s usually Zach that I snap at and then I hurt him. So, although I don’t know the specifics of your situation, I know how I feel when I get my period and am extra emotional, and it’s not pretty. I will be praying for you, Janet.
What I do understand is how real the feelings are to us. Men sometimes don’t understand it, but to use the way we feel and the concerns we have are very real. So, I can understand that. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you. My cell number is (717) 371-1615 in case you need someone to talk to…day or night, and I mean that. If you are up at 3:00am, and need me, I’ll be there.
Best Wishes,
Carrie L.
