Just wanted to share my happiness. . . I got my hair colored yesterday! For the first time since the first of November! Wow! I knew it had been a long time, but I didn't realize it had been that long!! I have done a lot of research and nothing convinced me that getting my hair dyed is going to adversely affect my baby. Most of the more conservative books/web sites I have read simply suggested that if you must dye your hair, waiting until after the first trimester is the safest bet. My red is back and I really feel more like myself again, and that is a tremendous boost for me!
I did find out something a few days ago that I am bummed about. No spray tanning. It contains a chemical that can be dangerous. Boo. Now I am going to be big, fat and white this summer. . . . great. {sigh} There are some self tanners I read that are ok, but I haven't been online to check out which ones are safe. I am just not very good with "self application". I tend to get impatient and then I mess it up. I guess I will have to research that option a little better.
I must admit it's hard for me right now. I know I should be thanking my lucky stars that I have felt so great. My complaints are all about my fading physical appearance. [note: the following is a vain ranting of the blog author brought on by devil (aka. crazy pregnancy hormones), please feel free to roll your eyes while and/or after reading]. My clothes don't fit, and I don't look pregnant yet, just fat. I am getting rounder by the day. I worry I will soon look like the girl that turned into a blueberry on Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory only not blue, I really don't want to buy maternity clothes just yet, and I don't want to buy new, bigger real clothes either!? My face is horribly broke out, and I can't seem to get it under control. I haven't been this broke out since I was 14! My fingers are constantly changing sizes, in the morning my rings slide right on, but by the evening my fingers are so swollen I can hardly get them off! I just wish I would pop on out there and start to really look pregnant so I could at least get a little sympathy for looking so bad! . . . I know some of you must understand how I feel! Please tell me it's going to get better! ha!

It's going to get better! I PROMISE!!! This is the most awkward stage of pregnancy, well kinda, lol. I mean it does get more awkward walking later with a big belly, but for the most part this is the annoying stage. Just wait until your 2nd child though, I swear as soon as I peed on that stick then I couldn't button my pants, but I was far from looking preggo.
I COMPLETELY understand. And Amber's right, it does get better. Once you pop and it's obvious you're carrying a baby you will feel so much better. You will look better too, and maternity clothes will actually start to fit right. I'm glad you have pretty hair again! I like red on you. :) Love ya!
It WILL get better! I remember going through that stage not so long ago. Do you know about the Bella Band? I never bought one but some people swear they are the best! Also, I had a couple of pair of Gap pants that had the adjustable waist like their kids' pants do. These were a lifesaver during that akward stage. Just enjoy every moment!!!
Everyone goes through what I call the "Fat Stage." Believe me you dont look as bad as you think you do!!! I used a Bella Band and rubber bands on my pants. It worked great. One day you will wake up and have a belly!!
