My mind goes to the negative these days with feeling cruddy and that is why there is a lack of blogging. It's a hard period for me to get through. I will document a few things that have stood out to me though about how weird my 2nd pregnancy has been so far:
1. For a meal, I am likely to sit and watch my family eat while a little bit nauseous, then slowly make my way to the kitchen to stare into the refrigerator and force myself to eat something. The other night it was watermelon for dinner. Because of the afternoon nap I took with Maggie that day, I stayed up way past my bedtime and watched cable TV and ate too many sour patch kids. This is when I do a little re-evaluation of my life and think "what have things come to?"
2. Usually, every year, even though I like where I live and grew up in the area so I have a particular fondness for it and have my family surrounding me, when I'm feeling down and driving around town, especially during the hottest month of the year, I see the dry grass and hide from the almost 100 degree temps and think I've got to move or go travel somewhere...FAST.
3. Just when I think I can eat a little more in my diet without my stomach making a fuss, I happily down a bag of popcorn at the theater on a far-and-few-between date with hubby and realize as it's almost gone that I haven't really offered him any. Oops! Or, the opposite - I get confident that I can eat spaghetti and a small salad and it quickly has me running to the bathroom. TMI?
I'm going for a new haircut today, that always cheers me up. Can I dye my hair too? Already got the pedicure.
Maggie is potty trained and wearing panties like a big girl. This presents a problem though but hopefully it's one that will resolve itself soon. She's still a crib girl/never trying to hop out like I hear with some kids. The fact that she uses the toilet now and wakes up at night to go has us running in to deal with it. So, changing her room around. Moving out baby furniture, mattress going on floor until we get the big girl bed, etc. I hoping for a smooth transition.
Family pics to come soon, taken over the 4th of July weekend. We got some goodies.
it's shizzy to be sick and feel stir crazy. i was going to say that they have some good non toxic hair dyes available - go for it! maybe get on a plane or train for a little trip before the baby comes, but when you're feeling a little better- even just a weekend getaway somewhere fun? meet you in nyc? (: i was just talking to a friend today who recently went with her 7 yr old daughter and stayed at such a nice little bed and bkfast right in chelsea, manhattan. it sounded glorious.
