I forget every time!!
1st trimester: excitement of having a new life inside me!
2nd trimester: waking up from the nausea and "brain fog"
3rd trimester: the cornered cat
I dunno what it is, but I end up enjoying my isolation! No, not self-pity.
Isolation: being far away from furtive eyes and uninvited opinions.
I say cornered cat because I seem to strike with claws first-ask questions of intent later. Though I don't mean to offend anyone, I know that I don't have to put up with being cornered with the why's and wherefore's of our life.
I get a bit upset at having to explain that we are a different couple, a different family, a different life with different morals and convictions. I tend to pray alot for others and learn to completely forgive at this time.
Having trusted others for information or support, and like any human, having that information hurt us more than help us, I like to just go to my corner and talk to the Lord more than anyone else (except my dh=my best friend!) I have no obligations to anyone else and trying to do as others suggest is not how God made me for my husband!
So, that's my outlook on the Cornered Cat. Ok, that's pretty much my outlook in all areas, but I'm a bit more opinionated when expecting & I just say it as it is.
