Morning Sickness

Well, I am 11 weeks pregnant today! I'm not sure, but I think I'm at the point where most people start to wind down from their morning sickness. I, on the other hand, never really had it! I always had this picture in my mind of feeling the need to make friends with the toilet bowl and realizing that I might be pregnant because of it. Instead, I haven't felt the urge to "spill my guts" even one time! The symptoms I have had are sore "chest", bloating, fatigue, a need to pee every five seconds (or so it feels), and every once in a while a little bit of bad nausea. There have maybe been a handful of days where I just felt too yucky to do anything. Everyone keeps telling me how blessed I am that I didn't have bad morning sickness. But from my perspective, even though throwing up is the worst, the lack of morning sickness has made me "feel" less pregnant. I feel like I won't ever get to commiserate with my friends about that tough first trimester that gave way to a pleasant second trimester. Like I am missing out on part of what it means to "be pregnant." Well, maybe next time! ;-)
