pregnancy woes

I have books and some great internet sites I refer to about my changing body and growing baby. The disclaimer on all the resources always say "...and each woman and baby is different." At this time in my pregnancy (which still sounds weird to me so say that I'm a pregnant lady), this is what I'm experiencing:

• Enlarging body parts (currently just the chest and belly - I think)
• Dry skin, especially my face
• Chin acne
• Bad Moods
• Good Moods
• Sad Moods
• Runny Nose
• Sneezy, really sneezy
• Dry eyes
• and did I mention an array of moods?

Something else I'm experiencing is having a hard time with people constantly staring at my stomach. I mean, it's expected, but I can't walk into a room without someone's eyes first averting to my stomach before my face. And I'm not just talking about eyes quickly looking down then up; but whole head and eyes blatently looking at the belly. It'll get big soon that people will be able to see it without having to move thier head - I'm hoping. Also, all the comments. I mean I love that people are excited for me but it's hard when I hear the same comments 40 times a day. If I'm in a good mood, I'm totally cool with it but when my moods are not so good - my response is probably not the friendliest which makes me feel super bad. So I don't think it's the questions or the people asking them just my poopy moods.

Hubby Love
At only 17 weeks - Dave reached over, put his hand on my belly, said hi to the baby, and then asked for him to kick. I told Dave that he won’t feel him kicking for quite a while. Then Dave got really close to my belly and kept saying, “Baby, if you don’t kick mama, I’m going to kick her. Come on baby, kick daddy. You don’t want me to kick mama do you?” Then he KICKED ME! Not hard, but still!

Dave: “When you’re really big, you should get a shirt that says, I’m not pregnant; just really fat – don’t touch me!”

Dave: “No BARNEY! I mean it – our kid won’t even know there’s a Barney until he’s at least 18.”

Dave: “I can’t believe we’re going to have a baby.”
Me: “You say that like you’re scared.”
Dave: “No – I’m excited. It’s just crazy to think that the girl I thought was super hot in the gym is my wife – she’s you. I remember that day you forgot something in my room, I was so excited. But never ever thought I had a chance. And look, you’re mine! Ha ha ha (it was kind of an evil laugh followed by a funny laugh). I tricked you! And now you're having my baby!”

One night I was getting ready to go to bed and trying to fall asleep when Dave suddenly realized something quite interesting.
Dave: "You have both boy and girl body parts right now. Do you realize you have a weeny too?"
Me: "I guess you're right - I never really thought about that."
Dave "...and you have 20 fingers, 20 toes, 4 nostrils, 4 eyes, 4 elbows..."
Me:"Okay, I get it. I need to go to sleep to rest all of those body parts!"
