Not Myself

Today a friend emailed to congratulate me on my pregnancy. She ended with "enjoy every minute of growing your baby." I am really.
But noone told me about the constant fatigue. And that my gastrointestinal system would betray me. Or that my skin would breakout and my hair would be greasy.
You can imagine how sexy I am right now huh? But I don't care. I have to stop and remind myself, "hey, you've gotta a baby in there." And it is so worth it.

PS Erika says our ultrasound looks like a peanut. So that it what we have started calling it. Peanut. It's gender neutral. It works.

Hi there, congrats to you first of all... I am 26 weeks pregnant with my 2nd, and I have a theory for you. My first was a girl and I had great skin and perfect hair. This one we know is a boy and I had acne like I was a teenager for the first three months, and have had a spot now and then since. I wonder if you might be carrying a boy? Just a thought... and yeah, as bad as you might feel, the end result is the best thing you will ever know. Good luck!!!
