So I wanted to post another of my "previous entries" today from earlier in the pregnancy. But first, I wanted to say I feel like I am loosing my mind! I cannot keep up with anything! There is so much going on right now at my job, with our looming move, with Ty's job...we've been just simply overwhelmed...not to mention being pregnant and all!
Anyway, I managed to forget one of my very best friends in the whole wide world birthday yesterday. It was Ashley's big day...and due to the craziness and what I can only assume is "pregnancy brain" I managed to forget to call her...even though it was on my calendar! I haven't been this upset with myself in quite a while! So here is my public shout out to Ash...the most amazing person, friend and counselor you will ever be so lucky to meet! :-) I love you Ash!
Now here's another post from 4 weeks ago :-)
So Blessed…
I don’t know how, but somehow, my sickness has been quite bearable. I was pretty nauseated for a few weeks, but I’ve learned how to manage it now…and my form of management involves eating every hour and a half and sometimes in the middle of the night.
My mom was sick for 6 months! And didn’t gain a pound until the nausea passed…I’ve been scared to death that was what I was in store for, but I have been blessed to not have that symptom…at least with this child.
My wonderful husband would pretty much drive to the ends of the earth for whatever current craving has taken over…most of the time I just want breakfast food…eggs, oatmeal, egg white flatbread sandwich from Dunkin Doughnuts. The only other craving I’ve been struggling with is pizza, which most of you know is NOT really a part of the whole “gluten free, dairy free” way of life to which I have become accustomed. So I’m holding off on that one as long as I can!
I talked to a few of my girlfriends again this weekend, and was thrilled to keep the conversation from myself…I hate to lie! But just two more weeks and I can tell them.

I got the link to your blog from Emily's. It's so nice to have a way to keep up with how you and baby Pearson are doing. About the forgetting thing...I am quite positive that unborn babies have a straw that goes directly from their tiny mouths to their mother's brain, and that they are practicing their sucking reflex by sucking your brain cells right out. There is just no other possible explanation for what happened to me while I was pregnant. The bad news is that those cells now belong to the baby and you'll NEVER get them back. Hope we'll get to see you and Ty in Rome this weekend.
ReplyDeleteHaha! Welcome to the world of momnesia. And the worst part is, it never really gets better. I have to make lists all the time still. When I was teaching my students probably thought I was crazy half the time since they didn't know I was pregnant until the end of the semester. I would mix up dates or names, and usually caught myself, but sometimes it was really embarrassing.
ReplyDeleteGive into the cravings...I didn't think mine went away if I didn't just give in. I ate a pimento cheese sandwich for breakfast for like 3 weeks straight.
I think my friend Erin had Papa John's several times a week for several weeks! :) I'd go for Dunkin Donuts, but I don't know that it's pregnancy talking. I just like them a lot anyway.
