First Trimester: A Life in Pictures

Have you heard the news?  I'm currently growing a complete human within my own body.  A boy human.

And it turns out I'm not the Earth Goddess pregnant lady I was hoping I would be.



Since I can't communicate the experience the most effective way... interpretative dance, I'm going to walk  you through this 8 week long (14 weeks total) shit show with photos I stole from the internet.







But mostly this...



You guys I'm two weeks into the 2nd trimester and I'm still sick as a damn dog.  My spirits are not high.  I cried last night because I couldn't have wine or a hot bath.  And also because I convinced myself that no one even liked me any more.  They were only nice to me because they want to be friends with the baby.

It was one of my best moments.

We've made zero progress on picking out names.  Wade has more of a mid-century modern naming sensibility and I'm much more rustic modern with an Americana twist.

I'm planning on suggesting the name Fievel today.  He will think I'm joking, but I'm not.

  1. As a person who has not had a person growing inside her, congrats and u find your journey interesting. I'm sad you're sick a lot and have so many feels sometimes.

    Also, I like you, your writing and I honestly don't know if I will like your baby, as I've never met him. You and Wade are cool, so there is a chance the tiny human (insert Morbo from Futurama voice there) could b alright. Also, Fievel is a win.

  3. I'm afraid, just like wickedhoneyb (loves you Leesha!) I've never had a person grow inside me either, so I'm any advice I offer will be from an outsider perspective. Just want you to know that I love you regardless of that baby inside you and I'm pretty sure things will get better and hopefully you will enter that hippie goddess momma mode soon. Barb C.
