The Pregnancy Diaries: Being Grateful
In my first trimester I started having to get up once per night to use the bathroom. I thought that was pretty annoying.
Then my second trimester came along and I started having to use the bathroom at least once per night and usually twice. I thought that was really annoying.
Later in my second trimester I would sometimes have to get up three times to use the bathroom. Sometimes it was just two. But sometimes it was three. And that seemed like a lot.
Third trimester. I was using the bathroom 4 times per night. I really started to miss the first trimester when I only had to get up once per night. That seemed heavenly even though at the time it had seemed so annoying. I mean, really. 4 times per night? You're getting up once every other hour.
Well, here I am with 4.5 weeks to go and I am now using the bathroom 7-8 times each night. I feel lucky on nights (like last night) where I only have to get up 6 times. For the first few nights of this I was thinking how annoying it is to be getting up every hour to use the bathroom.
Now I'm thinking I should start being grateful that I am only using the bathroom 7-8 times per night. Because at one point I really thought it couldn't get worse than 4 times per night and then it suddenly doubled. So I'm being grateful today for only using the bathroom 8 times per night since I have no idea what to expect tomorrow.
What if I have to wake up 16 times per night?! 8 times per night sounds pretty great compared to that.
Today I'm being grateful.
