Through out the past 137 days my body has turned some strange tricks on me. 24/7 nausea that has literally sent me running like an idiot out of rooms, yes plural, roomsss full of people. Dreams that make tim burton movies seem totally normal. Oh, and exhaustion, seriously so sleepy that one day I drove away from the gas pump, while the gas was still pumping. oopsy. But, the weirdest trick of all is what I call the "teen wolf" syndrome. I'm a pretty light skinned, white girl, so my leg hair has always just been average, nothing crazy. However, the hormones of this baby have set off something no human, correction, no regular human has ever seen. I could shave my legs and literally within the hour...its back, and worse than before! It is unreal!!! Teen wolf. I am thankful to share that my TWS (teen wolf syndrome) never spread, meaning I did not grow any chest hair or a beard, but some days I honestly wondered.
As I approach the second half of my pregnancy I can report that the nausea, wacko-jacko dreams, and sleepiness happen on occasion (vs being my unwelcome norm). And THANK GA, the TWS is gone. I mean it could have been much worse, but ew, not sexy.
Here's to hormones!
