I May Be Crazy

I can't help but feel that pregnancy hormones have made me a little crazy.   For example last night I had a minor freak out over ridiculous things.  

I sat outside for about an hour yesterday and when I walked into the bathroom to get ready for bed, noticed an awkward square of sun burn on my chest.  Follow that by being convinced I found a gigantic stretch mark on my side.  Followed by seeing every blue vein on my stomach and chest shinning 100 times brighter than normal, making me convinced something was not okay. 

Thanks to my bright red square on my chest, possible early stretch marks and alien like veins I tried very hard not to cry.  

If I was southerner I'd use that over used phrase "bless his heart" in reference to Chris dealing me and my irrational emotions.  He quickly convinced me my stretch mark was a scratch (which I think it was), and read online that the bright veins are because my heart is working harder.  

All things that a night of sleep and a new day couldn't fix.    

Speaking of irrational things . . . Last week I spent many hours working on a pink bumper for the crib and when I was done, couldn't get over a fear that our baby was really a boy.  I blame part of it on a blog I read that morning where the girl was told she was having a girl at her 20 week appointment, then found at at her 26 week appointment it was a boy.  


Not that having a boy would be bad at all, but a boy coming home to a pink crib, summer dresses and a girl name is not quite what I want.  

Thankfully this silly fear was easily resolved as we went to one of those ultrasound places to get another look at our baby and she is still a she.  They gave us a glimpse in 3D and she was covering her sweet face most of the time.  


And even though I am fully aware I am pregnant, seeing my baby makes it so much more real and reminds me how all these hormones, changes and overwhelming feelings are SO worth it!
