Week 17-18!!

I’m wondering if my lack of blogging has anything to do with my feeling 100% better?!?!

Granted, I usually write on the weekends but we were away this weekend so I didn’t get a chance to do a weekly catch up and I’m not sure why I didn’t pound one out at work BUT I didn’t so here I am now – Week 18!!

WEEK 18?!?!?!?!

So now I’m 4 ½ months preggos (as my co-workers like to call me) and I’m 2 weeks shy of being ½ there and without jinxing anything (which I think is why I REALLY didn’t write much lately…) I think I’m over The Sickness!!

And there was much rejoicing!!

I suppose for about the last two weeks, I’ve been Sickness-free. The heartburn still persists but TUMS hasn’t let me down yet (knock on wood) so I can ‘manage’ that. It is nice to have my body back even though there’s someone growing inside of me – I feel much better about all the commotion since I pretty much know it’s not going to lead to me praying to the porcelain god.

As for my other bodily “tasks” – Matias thinks I need a whole other blog for that!! I’m simply thinking of making up a calendar and giving myself gold stars when appropriate. I’ve been forcing myself to drink [more] water and fruit – as far as I can tell it is helping. Surprisingly, the watermelon is rather sweet this time of year but the grapes have a little bit further to go before being perfect though. Just an FYI…

I got on the scale this morning (who actually gets on the scale and HOPES they have gained weight??!?! I’m not 15 any more and I’m not getting bribed with Birks or clothes…) and I think I’ve gained about 2 pounds. YAY for 2 POUNDS!!

I STILL think the Belly is HUGE. And people have been touching me. Now, we all know I don’t like to be touched. I knew this would happen at some point but I think this is a little early to be rubbing MY Belly. Sometimes my Ninja skills step in and I can block the offender and then I’ve also learned to just stand there with my hand on MY Belly in order to quickly whisk the offenders’ hand away. Co-workers are touching me, people. So not only do I have to get comfortable with looking fat I have to let other people who I may not even like (god, the horror) TOUCH ME IN A SEMI-PRIVATE AREA! Trust me, I’ll kick you and chalk it up to hormones & not feel bad at all.

Sitting in certain positions is already becoming uncomfortable – I tried to sit cross-legged on the train this weekend and that only last about 10 minutes. I couldn’t lean onto Matias and ½ way lie down on the train. Hey, maybe it’s the trains’ fault and not mine?!!?

I spent the last two weeks or so sleeping on Matias’ side of the bed so that I was closer to the bathroom. Last night I climbed back over to my side!! I’m sleeping with three pillows in an upright position which sometimes leaves my neck with some cramping but that’s because I sleep on my side so my neck isn’t fully supported in this position. Anyway…I think we are both happy to have our own side of the bed back.

I did manage to make MYSELF a little carsick last night though – how talented am I?? I’m definitely going to blame that one on traffic though and not my driving skills – too much stop and go for my liking. TUMS cleared that right up though! YAY TUMS!!
