Ok, here's some randoms from this weekend:
First of all, in ironic conjunction with yesterday's post, I think my poor husband has reached his limit with sick-needy-me. I mean, the poor guy has been making me food, bringing me glasses of water, and putting up with my new "pregnant attitude." He has started to give me "looks" as in, "Ok, when does this end?" And I am torn between "Hey I'm not THAT bad!" and thinking, "Damn I think I owe that poor boy some sex."
On a positive note, I managed to finally get some stuff done this weekend. I took a great nap (yes, this is important), hung out with some friends, reorganized my dresser drawers, ordered some clothes to get me through this weird stage of pregnancy-body, organized my jewelry and cleaned all of my silver jewelry (sounds so Downton Abbey) AND now I'm writing a second blog post in one weekend. Things must be getting better.
Still sick. Threw up in an alley (me and that homeless guy...), had a really unfortunate run-in with some Velveeta Mac & Cheese (that stuff is disgusting going in or going out), and am feeling pretty gross while I write this. Ready to say goodbye to all of this.
Oh, and a milestone! I went and got my first brazilian wax since getting pregnant. I go to an amazing waxing salon and love my esthetician. She told me I need to come in every 5 weeks now (I'm usually more of an every 2-3 months kinda girl) because everything grows more quickly during pregnancy. I had heard it was more painful during pregnancy. But let me tell you girls, I am a WIMP about waxing and it did hurt more (think waxing pre-period) than usual, but it was tolerable. My waxing lady did a good job of quickly putting pressure or rubbing in oil to ease the pain. After a particularly bad pull, she said, "Sorry guys....ha...I can say that now because there are two of you!" She told me that a lot of her clients are pregnant and that plenty of women come in on their due date to "prep" for the delivery room. Part of me thinks that is crazy, but part of me kinda gets it. Just to be totally honest here.
Oh, and a cute story. When we went to my friends' house this weekend for "Game Night," we told them we were pregnant and their little six-year-old daughter who was sitting there with feathers in her hair eating dinner, suddenly stood up on her chair and said, "YOU HAVE A BABY???" And I was all flustered and said, "Well no, not yet..." And she says, "Yes you do...you're PREGNANT!!" Love it.
So that's it. Some random updates. I'll leave you with another picture of the happily recovering chemo patient.
The 6 year old story made me smile. You do have a baby :)
ReplyDeleteAs for the rest... just try and go with the flow. Hormones are so crazy making. It is so hard because rational us wants to be in control, and yet it's the hormonse that rule. They make us cry, they make us tired, they make us grumpy, they make us not think. And they make us happy, ecstatic too. It's all in the brain.
Naps and showers are a good idea.
I hope the nausea is treating you better and that you somehow manage to eat stuff that does not make you feel sick. Otherwise, just think, each day that goes, you are closer to feeling less sick.
Monte is looking good. I'm glad!
Doesn't he look great? He's so playful again, I'm just so happy.
DeleteI'm trying to go with the flow about the emotions. But it's hard when you feel like it's not YOU saying the things coming out of your mouth. I'm also getting sick of being detached from things. From today I was enjoying the sunshine and feeling more alive.
LOL, aww I love kids. That's so cute!
ReplyDeleteGlad you are doing a bit better!!
I know, right? So adorable!
DeleteSounds like you had a lovely weekend :-)
ReplyDeleteI did, thanks!
Deleteevery 5 weeks?! If anything my hair grows much SLOWER everywhere but my head while I'm pregnant. And I totally plan on getting a brazilian next week... if it lasts for up to 6 weeks that'll get me through the rest without the olympic shaving event I go through once a week.
ReplyDeleteOh... mac n cheese... no. Just no. no. no.
Glad Monte is doing better and better!
Good luck on your waxing next week. Can you even imagine going in on your due date? That's crazy. Anyhow, I'll play it by ear on the five week thing. I always go in way after they think I should normally.
DeleteSounds like a great weekend :) I am glad you had a chance to pamper yourself, I've never gotten waxed before, I am afraid!
ReplyDeleteHa...don't be afraid. If I can handle it, you can. I am such a wimp about it. But if you go to a good person, it's not that bad. And then you don't have to think about it for awhile.
DeleteI can't bring myself to have another wax- it was so incredibly painful when I was just on the IVF drugs- I can't imagine it will have gotten any better. I think that I will turn to shaving for the rest of my pregnancy....
ReplyDeleteGlad Monte is feeling better!
I think it depends on who you go to. I only go to people who are really good (after some painful and long - painfully long - experiences). A good Brazilian should last about 15 minutes or less. But yeah. It hurts. Taking Ibuprofen (or nowadays a Tylenol) 30 minutes beforehand really helps.
DeleteEEEEEEWWWWWW Velveeta barf!!! That's the grossest thing ever. And in an alleyway, too -- class it up, lady. :) Hopefully this will all be over soon; I'm impressed with your resolve to keep active in the midst of all this. So very happy to see Monte looking all good. What a relief.
ReplyDeleteHaha. "Class it up." I love it.
