Supermom’s Kryptonite

I’m now approximately 11 weeks into my pregancy and have encountered much ‘prego brain’.  As my husband puts it, “Pregancy is like kryptonite to supermom”.  Where once I could tell you where almost everything was in our house (even the stuff I hadn’t last put away), I can’t even remember where I put something yesterday, or even remember if I put it away or if someone else had.  I’m also much more emotional.  I was emotional at times before but now it’s lasting over a much longer period of time.  I think I scared my oldest the other night – I was just about in tears over something he’d said and all I could think of to say was “You’re being mean!”; he’d never seen me quite like that before (I don’t think he knew how to respond to me). It’s going to be an interesting journey.  I like to feel like I’m capable and in control which I don’t feel so much now.  And my husband is going to have way too much ammo to tease with me when all this is over.  It’s all worth it, though.  I’m very happy to be having another baby and am looking forward to November (when the baby is due).

  1. Much sympathy. I’m finally starting to feel a little more human, and not so puddly. I was crying over spilled milk everyday. It’s so neat how God made us, every part, even the weepiness. I’m so excited to hear all about your symptoms. So glad you finally posted on this! Have been waiting! 🙂

  2.
