The Happy Pregnant Girl is Blue!!

Before I got pregnant I was very nervous about how my hormones would affect me once I became prego. I have never really been considered "sweet". I would say that I am more the type of girl that says what she feels even if it isn't appropriate. Some may have even referred to me as a "bitch" or even "moody" now and then. So, you can see why I would be worried that the bitchiness and the moodiness might be magnified once the hormones really kicked in. Well, that hasn't happened (so far ;0)!! If I may say so myself, I have actually been "sweet" since I have been pregnant. Even Rob thinks so. Now I know that there is still time in my pregnancy for this to change, but for right now things have been really smooth and "sweet".

Here is the problem...yesterday and today I have just been blue, down in the dumps, a little bit sad, bummed out, and just plain blah!! I think it might have something to do with the weather. It has been so gray, dreary, and cold here for the last couple of days. But, then I looked at Shauna's post and realized that I am not the only one feeling blue. Maybe it is a full moon or something...I don't know! I am trying to pull myself out of this funk but I am having a hard time. Everything in my life is going well right now and there is nothing that I should be blue about...so why then?

We went to the Dr. yesterday and the little "tug" is doing very well. All of the bloodwork that I have had done has come back negative so that is great! I gained 5 lbs this month. I guess that this shouldn't be big deal except that I have been eating horribly lately. I need to get back on track...starting tomorrow ;o) If I were eating a healthy diet I wouldn't feel bad about 5 lbs. As Kaycee told me earlier today...the guilty feelings have begun and will continue for the rest of my life as a parent.

So that is it in my world today...sorry to be such a downer! Oh, wait, I forgot the movie review.....Knocked Up was wicked Awesome!! Even Rob liked it! We had such a good time on our date night. I just might go see a movie again! Have a Nicer day than mine!! Let me go grab a picture....

Hey Laura,
I am an old friend and Fran's goddaughter....you may remember me as "Janet Lynne". I have very fond memories of your Mom and siblings from my visits to the Cape.
Hope you don't mind, but I was peeking in on your blog.....and want to say Congratulations! I hope you have an easy, healthy pregnancy! (I am blessed with 4 wonderful children, so I know what an exciting time this is.)
I read that you honeymooned in Kennebunkport and had to say that is my family's favorite place! We've vacationed at Goose Rock's Beach every year for the last 12yrs. Did you get to explore that beach when you visited? Worth a revisit if you didn't. :o)
Please send a Hello to your Mom.
Best of luck to you!
Love,
Jan

Hi Janet Lynne,
The pictures of Jessie were amazing. I can't believe that she has graduated. 2 in college and 2 to go.What a family. You and Danny have done a fabulous job!
Sorry Laura to use your blog to communicate to my niece. I knew you wouldn't mind though.
I absolutely love these blogs. I get to keep up with all the people I so dearly love. Janet Lynne, you should start one.
Love to everyone who reads and writes these blogs.
Fran

I really love that Jan and Fran are communicating through our blogs - that is the best!!!! Oh - I definitely had a down in the dumps day yesterday and today has been extraordinarily better....so I am going to go with saying I have had two dumpy days in a row. But I love you and just go with the flow- you can absolutely have some down days when you are preggers so dont worry about it - I love you and I will talk to you later!

Hi Jan- It's great to hear from you. It's a small world in this blogging community. I just love it! We did explore Goose Rock' beach when we were up there. It was the first time that either of us had been up to Kennebunkport and we absolutely fell in love with it. We plan to spend our anniversary there every year that we can.
