Random Thoughts
Last week I thought of all kinds of things I could blog about but now I can't remember any of them. Pregnancy brain? Perhaps.
Next week I'll be halfway through this pregnancy but it doesn't really feel like it. I'm not very big yet. I guess I'm not very big anyways so this is probably good. But I don't really even LOOK pregnant yet. I'm sure that'll come soon enough and then I'll feel HUGE. And my feet will swell and there will be all kinds of other horrible ramifications and then I'll be wishing back to these days.
The only thing that tells me for sure I am pregnant is that I'm still throwing up. And I ran out of my lovely pills until next month and it's a sad, sad day. This morning sickness business isn't for sissies. I did come across a wonderful book for anybody who has morning sickness or will have morning sickness when they get pregnant. Keep this book in mind. It's called the Morning Sickness Companion by Elizabeth Kaledin. There's not so much in there about remedies, although there are a few things to try. But it's just a nice book that makes you feel normal and human when you feel like junk. There are experiences of women who have gone before and survived, there is information about suffering depression during pregnancy, and just a lot of empathy which is really all you want from anybody during this time. It's quite humorous too. I would read parts to Hubby and say, "See, I'm normal! These things happen to other women too! I'm not crazy!" Yeah, that's nice. So, ladies, keep this book in mind. Or men, you might want to keep this in mind too if you end up with a wife who has morning sickness during pregnancy. It might just save everyone's sanity!
And I've decided I can't watch Oprah anymore either. It makes me weepy. And I hate that. For absolutely no reason I'll be watching Oprah and something will be just the slightest bit touching and all of the sudden I'm sobbing. It's ridiculous. Maybe I should start watching something like American Chopper. But it would be just my luck that that would make me cry too.
Hopefully next time I'll come up with something more entertaining for y'all to read. This really wasn't exactly what I'd intended to write about but it's just what came out. Enjoy...
