Pregnancy Wisdom

There is no meal that cannot be improved by the addition of a pickle. My lunch: an apple, glass of OJ and a pickle. omnom.

Okay, so I never really made friends when I moved to Texas, but I'm sure my dude friends scattered around the country are sick of hearing me babble about baby crap. I think I'm going to take some prenatal yoga once I get a little more obviously pregnant (versus fat, lol). In the meantime, hmmm? Dunno. I wanna make friends with some Octobers! I wonder if there's an LJ community for that?

In other news, I am feeling very guilty for eating all of Bobby's ice cream. However... it was really good. And everything they say about pickles is true. I'm going to go get one now. =D

It's my birthday!

In other news, I've lost 16 lbs since getting pregnant and my morning sickness is getting worse leaving the first trimester. My doctor's not too concerned about the weight loss, because I'm healthy, my blood work is normal, the baby is growing exactly as it should and very active. (I can't feel it yet, but we could see it [omg!] on the sonogram.) Bobby thinks it's just because I'm home all the time now, so I eat less and of healthier variety. I think he's right. It also makes a difference that hardly anything sounds good, so I'm eating things like 3 pickles and a V-8 for lunch. Before I'd go to lunch just to get away and eat whatever was convenient. I tried bringing my lunch for a while, which I don't mind, but when I did that, everyone would ask me every 5 minutes if I was 'back' and then act like I was being snotty when I'd say, "Not yet, but if you need something done, I can go ahead and take it." Seriously. It showed up in my exit review. Oops, sidetracked. I think my next appt is this Thursday, but I'll prolly call to be sure. I can't remember my appts to save my life, but I've managed not to miss any yet.

I am 23 today! Not that it matters much anymore, but I always get excited. yay! My mom took me to get a pedicure, a facial, and some lunch. And then we went to half-price books and I bought 10 books for 10 bucks! Yay! I got a really old edition set of the Chronicles of Narnia, numbered in the publishing order rather than chronologically the way they are now. For 98 cents each! Sweet! I also bought some trashy romance. =) Which I am now going to go read until it is time for class. Good day.

At 2 in the morning, I thought this was hysterical.

Bobby always falls asleep before me. Sometimes just a few minutes, sometimes hours. He also snores, and over the years, I've come up with various ways to get him to stop without totally waking him up. Sometimes it's a lost cause, so I retreat to my side of the bed and possibly poke him until he rolls over.

Last night, he was being really clingy and woke up enough to hold on to me to keep me from moving away.
Me: I gotta, I swear you're half bear.
Him: Well, if I'm a bear, you're my bear hair.
Me: ... .... ..... What?
Him: I'm bald and cold without you!
Me: Your bear hair?
Him: Yeah.
Me: *totally dying laughing*
Him: ... .... ..... What?
Me: I'll tell you again in the morning.

Announcement time!

We posted scans of my sonogram on facebook today. I'm 11 weeks, so that's close enough to safe for us. Everyone is really excited, especially Bobby's parents. In the sonogram, I could actually see something! It's only about 4 cm long, but it moved around a bunch. It was really squirmy and I'm really curious if she/he will be squirmy the whole time. I want to be able to feel it, but there's nothing.

Not much going on other than that. Anatomy is still kicking my ass. I'll probably have to retake it to get into the program I want.
