Well, I have been journaling our pregnancy the best I can since the day we found out (April 30th). I made sure to document the stress over telling our families, the eagerness for doctors visits and the updates as to what is “going on” inside. I have been feeling great, no morning sickness, knock on wood (geez, I just knocked on the dining room table which then caused Mako to go bonkers….poor choice), no crazy cravings (which is an understatement because I crave anything preggo or not), no spotting, cramping, etc. There were a few days of major mood swings, sorry for those who crossed my path, there may be more of those days on the way. Consider yourself warned and therefore, no apology from my end, HA! My chest has seen smaller days, Erik thinks it’s funny to say that it looks like someone inflated them with a bicycle pump….yuppers, real funny! It feels like someone is launching my chest into outer space and the poor duo in making crash landings back to Earth. Inflated is putting it lightly!
I have of course been in a constant state of fear. In times like this I wish I were ignorant but knowing what I know, seeing what I see and reading what I read, well, I was doomed from the get go. Going to work is okay, it’s all the things that I don’t see that I know that are out there I am insistent that we haven’t seen them yet because I haven’t given birth. Paranoid, Heck yeah! I have diagnosed myself with all I can think of and Dr McApline really tried to drill it into my head that I needed to chill. I will try, only because I like him!
I have been eating well; I have made a conscious switch to organic fruits and veggies. Trying to avoid those that are more susceptible to icky pesticides (i.e. strawberries, grapes, celery, etc) On occasion I will buy the normal everyday fruit and scrub the heck out of it with dish soap…paranoid still? Heck yeah! I have been making attempts to be active but with an outside temp of 102, it’s a tad bit difficult. I have done prenatal yoga which is so relaxing I look dead on the floor to any passer-by. Last night I busted out with the Denise Austin for preggos….Um, Mako needs to realize that it is not a workout video for dogs. This is the second DVD I have watched where he is trying to do what I do. I walk forward and turn, he mimics with a smile so big I can’t help but love it. I lay down on my back to “relax and breath” and who is right next to me on his back, goods flashed to the Heaven’s....Mako! He too is supportive….God love him!
Today Erik is in Miami and will be making the trip back to Tallahassee. Long drive because he may not be able to catch a flight. I’m headed to work for a double and then I will be done with my stretch Monday morning. I had a great breakfast, fruit and skim milk smoothie (homemade, look out Paula Dean) and some sliced apple with organic peanut butter. Okay, let me tell you something about organic PB. It’s kind of icky looking. The oil separates to the top and then you have to mix it. Well, I felt like I was mixing a giant brown goober…..putting that aside it tasted pretty good. Last night I tried a shake from Erik’s The Expectant Father book and it was a mistake. The shake was delicious but it called for bananas…clearly I know that I can’t eat bananas, they give me the worst belly ache but I chanced it. I took one for the team and decided that it may not be too bad with the berries and OJ. Guess again sista! I think I may have OD’d on the Tums and did enough moaning for those outside to wonder it I was birthing a cow. NO worries, I feel great this morning and will make a large note to self…”Stay away from the bananas regardless you moron!”.
Alright, off for a nap before I officially start my day!
