Symptoms and Strange Feelings

Dearest Babe-
Oh, how you have already changed my life. And my body for that matter! I went into this feeling pretty confident that I was going to experience minimal unpleasant side effects of pregnancy. Can you say naive? That would be your Mama. Now I can finally understand what it meant when my Mommy friends told me all about how my chest would ache when someone hugged me or how the smell of something cooking would send me running to the bathroom. I want you to understand that this is not a complaint letter. All of these things are supposed to happen to me and actually reassures me that things are "normal" in Munchkinland. In the past few days, I developed a seriously sore chest, had a few bouts of morning sickness, and have been racing to the bathroom to pee. A lot.
Aside from the physical symptoms, I find myself irritated with people. Particularly your Daddy. The worst part is, I don't even have a good reason. This frustrates me to no end, because he is one of the kindest and nicest people you will ever meet. I know he would do anything he could to make this experience easier for me. I really hope I can chalk this up to my raging hormones and get over it soon. It would make life a lot more pleasant in the Beale household. Until then, I have to remember that this particular stage in pregnancy is going to bring about a ton of physical and emotional changes and just try to enjoy this crazy journey!
I love you,
Mom
PS- I got all sorts of good pregnancy reads in the mail this week, so I will be reading up and getting educated on all the cool things that will be happening to you and I in the coming months.
