Things I miss about my non-pregnant body:
- My clear skin. I already wrote a post about that.
- My flatter belly and wearing jeans comfortably.
- My clear mind. I searched the house one day for my phone, upon realizing it was in my hand the entire time.
- My {somewhat} normal emotions. I thought the first trimester was emotional. The second is even worse (and I’m guessing the third is a nightmare?). Lately, I’ve found myself jumping down T.J.’s throat or having an emotional roller-coaster ride at work.
- My regular appetite. Yesterday I was craving homemade caramels. Really? I honestly couldn’t get them out of my mind. So, there I was searching my cookbooks and searching for the ingredients on a Sunday evening. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any whipping cream (do people really keep that on hand?) and so I made Divinity instead. Utter disappointment. This morning I’m craving nachos and cheese. Fortunately, I haven’t gained any weight yet. You probably don’t believe me, after telling you all of that though.
- No Aches. Head aches and stomach aches everyday! I might need to boost up my medicine intake, I’m just nervous about hurting the baby. I also have “the jimmy legs.” Actually, I don’t really know what that is, I just heard it on Seinfeld once. But, if it has anything to do with achy, restless legs, I’ve got them.
- Smelling things normally. Oh boy, this one is number one. I cannot explain how weird and horrible it is. I’ve been told that this will go away soon, and I’m praying that it does. I’ve literally looked into buying the stuff people put under their noses in the movies when working with cadavers.
- We’ll just put all the things pregnant women do not talk about because they’re unpleasant and rather personal in this last bullet.
