wish i could have called in sick

Today has just flat out sucked. No better way to put it without using some colorful words. It’s the first day I’ve been puking sick. To you Mom’s out there who have been through pregnancy and months of puking…. my heart goes out to you. I’m not my usual self. I’m usually in overdrive, today I feel like I’m in reverse.

My relationship with tomatoes is over. I tried eating some tomatoes, I don’t even know why, after puking and it was my lucky day because the first one I popped into my mouth was ROTTEN. Ugggg……. I’m pretty sure it’ll be a very long time before those look good to me again. DANG! Why I wanted tomatoes after puking is beyond me, sounds like an odd choice.

Trying to explain to 2 year olds that they can’t hit my stomach and why I can’t hold them 24/7 like I used to is like explaining rocket science to them. I have my 2 1/2 year old little daycare girl who has issues anyway, but then she wants me to hold her ALL the freakin time and she’s a big girl anyway. So today I held her for a bit and then told her I need to put her down and she bawled and bawled and bawled for me to “pick her”. Yeah… she pretty much hates me today after that. And my little man here needs to quit freakin hitting me. He hit me so hard today I thought I was going to hurl on him. This baby is going to come out fighting.

Some good news… I’m working on flashcards with little man and he’s doing EXCELLENT!! He loves the pentagon. haha Of all shapes to pick, he loves that one for some reason. I think he shocked Gramma and Papa a little bit when he told them Pentagon and Octagon. I also worked on the letter A with the kids yesterday and today while watching Super Why (the greatest cartoon!) they were supposed to find the letter A. I held little man up to the tv and he picked out the A right away! YEAH!! I was shocked when we started doing colors. He knew more colors than he’s been letting us know. He especially waits for me to show the picture of the “UCKY BUG”. It’s so cute how he says it.

Today we are doing B. I have the letter B and a banana for them to color, and banana’s and blueberries for snacks. The structue of having this every afternoon is going to be good for little man I think. He NEEDS structure. He’s so insanely wild that anything to get him to relax and sit and listen for a while has got to be beneficial to him.

hair too pouffy?

As I was leaving for my doctor’s appointment today I felt this tickle on my head. I reached up and heard a fly buzz. A fly had gotten stuck UNDER my hair, the front is all pinned up with bobby pins, and was NOT coming out. After swatting at my hair, looking like a real winner outside (hopefully no neighbors were watching) I was able to reach in and grab the little sucker. How odd is that?!

I also had a little shopping spree today. I spent a whole THREE dollars! haha I went to the second hand store in hopes of finding some jeans to get me a little further along with the help of rubber bands, and bella bands too maybe. It was my lucky day and I got 2 pair of jeans and a t-shirt for 3 bucks! YES!!

8 wks 1 day First appointment

Had my first doctor’s appointment today. How exciting to see baby for the first time, I didn’t cry then, but I’m a bit teary eyed now. That poor doctor probably doesn’t need me crying in the room anymore. haha After last time and the whole losing my job and all the other crap. He was probably a little scared to come in! He did remind me that I need to take it easy and when the end is nearing if I need to back off work then I need to do so. Hopefully nobody will be losing their jobs at the end of this one. EEK!!

He was still shocked that I’d lost so much weight. I said I owe it to breastfeeding, which means I owe it to myself! WOOT! haha I’m REALLY trying hard to not gain so much this time. I’ve gained 5 pounds in 2 months, not sure if that’s good or bad, but I’m okay with it so far. I’m still in my regular jeans being held together with a rubber band only because that little bit of push from the button is uncomfortable. Most of my stuff doesn’t fit anymore, my shorts and capris are out. I bought a couple pair to get me through the summer. It’s working so far.

I’m looking for some of those Bella Bands. Anybody used them? Like? Dislike? Suggestions?

Doc said baby had very good positioning, not that I think that’s anything major as this stage of the game, but whatever, he was pleased with it.

failed attempt at veggies

Trying to get little man to try veggies is just not happening. He tends to be quite the picky little eater, which normally drives me crazy. The other day I made him pasta, which I knew he’d eat for sure, and some mixed veggies hoping to get some veggies into him. I was thinking maybe the variety of colors would be appealing to him. But that’s just not how it works. I guess kinda like my brother showing me his Ahi tuna tower that was very colorful but didn’t look the least bit appealing to me. haha Our conversation went like this…

Me: Little man your veggies are really good for you, you should eat them.
LM: Good. Me.
Me: Yes, here have a bite.
LM: No. My pasta good me too?
Me: (Oh crap…..) Yes, pasta is good for you too.
LM: My eat pasta.
Me: (Gah!) Ok. you eat your pasta.

A little while later……

Me: Here little man just have one bite of veggies.
(He had been eating all the corn out of the bowl)
LM: (Hands out in front of him pushing me away with the spoon) (Yelling) NOOOOO!!!!! My eat my popcorns!!!

I was then laughing too hard to try making him eat anymore. At least he ate some corn and all his pasta.

warning… warning… highly emotional

Oh the joys of being pregnant. I can cry over anything, at anytime, at any place with anybody watching me. This morning I went to register my son for school and while talking with the secretary I learned that her son’s wife was having an affair and had just moved out. I knew him from school, we graduated together, and from working together for a while. She tells me this and I burst out bawling. OMG! I did explain to her I am pregnant and apparently highly emotional, I should probably be wearing a shirt with a warning on it!
