I’m waking up at least three times a night, 🙂

and so here I am, just sitting here puking my guts out since 3:30 AM. 😁

Nancy Ruiz7 said:I’m certainly not feeling any sense of euphoria myself after dealing with two miscarriages... I am trying my best to stay level-headed, which is why I try not to make every single conversation revolve around pregnancy, even though part of me wishes it were different. Unless I hit that twenty-four-week mark—not to mention that getting pregnant wasn't even my immediate priority since I had a million other life goals lined up—it’s just hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't walked this path. It isn't the actual delivery that scares me, but rather those nine long, grueling months... And honestly, I don't envy those who actually get to enjoy the "glow," because I still feel terrible most of the time, and I truly believe we have every right to be a little negative or sarcastic about it all. People can tell whatever story they want...

I’m also being extremely cautious during this pregnancy because of what happened in the past, and honestly, I definitely don't feel "glowing" yet.
For the first month, I was constantly sick, and then for nearly three months straight, I dealt with these absolutely horrific pains in my lower back and legs (it was basically impossible to do anything—sitting, sleeping, walking—nothing was easy). Now, I just feel clumsy and perpetually exhausted. My doctor mentioned yesterday that I’m dealing with anemia too... so yeah, I’m still just sitting here waiting for that period where I’m supposed to finally start "shining."🤣

I honestly don't know if it's just the hormones acting up or what, but I got so incredibly worked up the other day because of this girl I went to high school with. We weren't even exactly friends back then, and we haven't spoken a single word to each other since graduation, yet out of nowhere she sends me this message asking how the pregnancy is going and offering to give me advice if I need it. I mean, she's only four months along herself, so now she thinks she's suddenly qualified to lecture me? I suppose her intentions were probably good, but it just doesn't sit right with me—why on earth would you reach out after years of total silence just to start handing out unsolicited advice??
Am I supposed to suddenly find common ground with everyone just because I'm pregnant now?? It's driving me absolutely insane.

And besides that, I am beyond frustrated because I'm sweating like crazy all the time, and don't even get me started on the heartburn.

Then there's my aching lower back, and the fact that people still insist I'm not "glowing" enough.😁

As for the neighbors and their constant stream of unwanted suggestions, I won't even go there.
