This week's appointment went well. I am clear to take Clariton. Thank goodness. Now I just need to remember to actually take it. Also finding that the pain in my hands is completely normal. Pregnancy is so weird. Pretty much any pain or swelling is chalked up to being 'normal'. I didn't have this with Lilly. Should be an interesting 9 more weeks. Just lucky that I didn't get it earlier, right?
I thought I'd take the time to write about some of the benefits of being pregnant... besides having a miracle grow in your tummy. Just need to lighten my mood. Here's some of my recent bennies:
1. I can pretty much say anything to anyone and get away with it.
2. Everyone expects you to break out in tears at any moment, so most are overly nice. Can I carry that for you? Let me get the door? Here, you sit down. I'll buy you and the baby lunch. Etc. Etc.
3. As long as I am covered in the right places, anything flies for clothing. At this point, I wear what I am comfortable in. If someone doesn't approve, I use bennie number 1 to straighten them out.
4. Sayonara normal chores. Pretty much anything at this point is exhausting. I am either pawning off chores or letting them go.
5. No one looks at you like you are crazy when you bring in strawberries, a banana, a ham sandwich and carrots with hummus for breakfast. Then have some of this goodness for dessert.
This is a pic of the candy currently in my office. I had equally as much candy BEFORE I got pregnant, but now everyone assumes that I only have this much because of my 'condition'.
I know I owe a belly shot. We've been terrible about taking them this pregnancy. For some reason, I just don't want to remember myself being this big. I had a dream the other night that my normal body was back. I'm ready for that. Maybe next week.

You make an amazingly healthy breakfast :)
Pregnany is da bomb!! ;)
You know I'm a pregnancy junkie so I'm just going to say how jealous I am that your ob (midwife?) sees you bi-weekly and weekly until the end. He told me I could go in as often as I felt like since I liked hearing my babies heartbeat, most of the time I took advantage of that :), but my doc gave me the option of coming in monthly until 38 weeks and then not again until due date. Oh, and for added brownie points, pelvic exams were OPTIONAL!!!!!! :D
Yes please to belly picture and ultrasound pics :) Happy Easter you guys!!!!
Sara, you are a great writer and I find what you write very entertaining! You write just like you talk and I love that about you!
