Pity Party

I call today Pity Party day... where I have a pity party for myself.

Some days with J always studying for this stupid exam I feel like I'm alone in this whole baby thing. I drafted, reviewed, and wrote our Birth Plan (he never even read it). I built the changing table, I've done half the crib (at the point where I need help). I did all the baby's laundry. I folded all of his clothing. I sorted all the books/toys. I organized all the cloth diapers. I packed the hospital bags. I.... well you get the point by now I assume.

I think in this life the thing I hate most is feeling alone, especially when going into unknown territory. I have MANY issues of people leaving me in my past :(

Sigh... tomorrow will be the anti-pity party! I'm going to do something awesome. Not sure what, but it will be awesome!

Life Lessons

Things I learned today...

1. Waking up after 4 restless hours of sleep is no fun
2. Forgetting to eat, when your morning is complete chaos, and pregant is no fun
3. Apparently Cranberry Juice will make this prego momma toss up her lunch
4. Naps are glorious and everyone should take them, daily if needed :)
5. I have no self control when it comes to the refresh button and an online auction
6. I enjoy making lists

Ok but for real... cranberry juice + empty stomach = emptier stomach?

And now I'm going to nap, because I want to, and because I can :)

Well Now I Feel Fat

So we had to get up early this morning, (that's 7:45am) to have blood drawn and give urine samples for our life insurance policies. FYI NOT FUN. But anyway, since I'm pregnant the nurse didn't measure my chest and waist size (whew!). About 30min after she left though I became obsessed... I had to know how big around my belly had actually become.

45inches

3ft = 36in
4ft = 48in

I mean really? I'm nearly 4ft around at the belly... 4ft. I am only 5ft 5in. If I continue to expand I could end up as big around as I am tall - scary thought much? No wonder I constantly feel like I'm going to fall over.

Also explains why I can't lean over the counter and reached into our cabinets anymore, and here I thought somehow the baby had just made me shorter. Yes, that thought actually went through my mind. I'm pregnant what can I say, I'm obviously loosing brain power. But let's not get into all the funny things I've said/done because my brain is only operating at half capacity. That dear reader, would take days and we would all end up laughing so hard we would cry. And then we would float or something.... maybe that's Mary Poppins.

Facebook

Well I have to say I never thought I would be thankful for facebook. I mentioned in an earlier post (the first I believe) that we had to purchase a new computer. Well we lost a lot from the old computer. That would include photos :( sad day.

Today I was looking at photos on facebook and realized that 'hey I don't have that photo anymore.' So I just spent the last 2-3 hours stealing photos I used to have from my own facebook account, and then obviously from every friend I have on facebook. I think I have more wedding pictures now, then I did before the computer crashed. Which I guess is a bit sad, but when your photographer is a (wonderful, and delightful human being) and doesn't give you any wedding photos...

So once I was done scavenging facebook, I took a moment and thought to myself.... 'Self you used to use a photobucket account. I bet you have photos on there, and on your old Xanga blog.' And wouldn't you know it I found a lot more photos I figured were lost in the great sea of nothing called my HP computer.

Happy day for me :) And now my favorite photo I recovered because I'm just that weird...

Speaking of weird, this OLD photo of Hubs and I... WOW!!!


I'm only kidding, this is EASILY my favorite recovered photo from tonight, Thanks Emily Motter!
