Such a Whiner
I will be the first to admit, I am a 100% bona fide super whiney whiner. It’s a character flaw, I realize, and an annoying one at that. Honestly, nobody wants to hear me whine! I have decided, after much mental debate, that I’m going to try really hard to not whine, at least where my pregnancy is concerned. Because really, I shouldn’t be whining about being pregnant. First, I wanted to be pregnant, and this is such a blessing. Second, there are women who would do practically anything to be in my situation. Women who have lost their babies or have never been able to experience being pregnant. I don’t have any right to complain about something that I want so badly.
But, I can’t go cold turkey.
I have been so nauseated the past few days! I am not normally a puker, and have never thrown up in my previous pregnancies, but I think this may be the pregnancy that does me in. I can’t stand looking at food, the smell that wafts out of the fridge in the morning (and yes, it’s all fresh food, nothing moldy or gross) makes me want to toss my cookies. I can’t lie down until I feel better because I have two kids who need to be taken care of. And my kids? Well Bean has been an even whinier whiner than me this week. She doesn’t want to be picked up, but freaks out when I put her down. Poor baby is miserable getting a molar and battling a nasty cold, but I’m worn out here! To make matters worse, she isn’t napping well and Bug isn’t napping at all. Aaaaaah!
When the nausea subsides for a few moments, I jump in the shower or take care of whatever needs to be done, but within an hour, I’m knocked back on my ass again. Am I through the first trimester yet??
Okay, whew. I’m done. No more whining. Fair warning, though: If you ask me how I’m feeling, I’ll be honest. *wink*
It could be much worse, right? I mean, I could be bent over the toilet all day long. At least I can keep down the food I eat, and at least I have a wonderful hubby who takes charge of the kids when he gets home. Yes, it could be much worse.
You’re entitled to a little whining every now and then. You’re right, though. As miserable as pregnancy may make you feel at times, it’s worth it in the end. Hope the morning sickness passes soon.
I hear ya girl. I am a mega-whiner too. Especially about my pregnancy troubles, and I have the same thoughts…I shouldn’t be whining because having a baby is such an blessing. It’s hard to quit whining though…really hard. Justin has actually told me this pregnancy that I’m not allowed to carry any more of our children because he’s not sure he can stand another pregnancy of my whining!!
It’s a good thing we’re planning to adopt a few after this one. 
Hope you feel better…but I was sick both pregnancies and it usually doesn’t let up until around 16-18 weeks. Keep your tummy full of protein and you’ll feel better.
