Acne and Other Signs of Pregnancy

Ahhh, the joys of pregnancy.

Hormones have been flying around my body recently, their latest attack being on my face. Zits everywhere. It’s pathetic, I look like a 15 year old. Except, you know, without the hot body that I had at 15. I’m actually glad not to have cable right now so I don’t have to see those damn commercials for the acne treatments, the ones where famous celebs who can be airbrushed into perfection complain about having bad skin. Because wealthy celebrities really have to use the same commercial treatments that normal teenagers do. Right, sure.

OK, so aside from the nausea, the heartburn, the huge midsection, and the zits it’s really not that bad. Yeah, that sentence totally just scared off anyone who hasn’t had kids yet. No really, it’s not that horrible and luckily each pregnancy is different. With Evan I was the textbook example of a perfect pregnancy, with Trey the nausea and exhaustion was a little worse, and this time things have increased again. I think that, like Trish, I’m suffering from 3rd Baby Syndrome. Fear of twins, paranoia that something is wrong because it’s not the same as the last too, increased symptoms, near complete insanity.

Clearly it’s a way to make sure we stop at 2 kids.

In happier pregnancy news I’m feeling some movements now. She’s (I don’t know the gender yet, but it just feels like a girl) not really that active yet. At least not in ways I can really feel yet. But there are the occasional bumps and touches, she likes to press her back against me and push out. She’s also got a nasty left hook, which I get anytime I bend over too far. It’s not hard enough for anyone else to feel yet, so for now each movement is our little secret.
