1. Having two days in a row of NO nausea medicine and NO vomiting makes you feel like a million dollars. No food aversions either. I now know how great I feel when I'm NOT sick. And I love it. I felt like my old self (just with bigger boobs and a bigger stomach..lol) and really enjoyed time with my husband, and riding in a car without plotting "if I puke right now......" lol
2. Looking back on OLD blogs (no, you may not have the links, because I just deleted two of them) makes me feel like April now doesn't know April then. At all. It's like I'm reading the journal of a stranger. And this is in a good way.
3. I am getting impatient waiting to feel baby move on a regular basis. Am certain I felt the baby move, but nothing regular and only twice about 30 seconds apart. Heartbeat is good though (155-165 beats per minute), but I wanna feel the little booger.
4. You can only be as good of a friend as you are allowed. I know I made this comment in my last random list post, but it's worth discussing again! This isn't the place to go into it, but for real. I'm kinda over it, and it makes me quite sad. If someone continues to try to be there for you and you continue to push them away, do not be surprised when you one day realise they aren't there. Perhaps that sounds cold hearted? But it's how I feel.
5. One of the worst parts about living so far from home is when shit goes down you CANNOT physically be there every time. My best friend has been GUTTED by a guy, and I just wish I could just physically be there for the people I love sometime. I know I can never again live in ONE place and have everyone there together. I know this. When I'm there I miss the people here, and when I'm here I miss the people there. There is NO fixing it. Just wish sometimes I could be physically there for someone when they need me. Especially my best friend. The first message she sent me when things went wrong was "I need my best friend". I broke into tears, because I knew something was wrong as soon as I saw that, and no matter what it was, the best I could offer was a voice and texts (since I was at work).
6. Pregnancy cravings are CRAZY! This week's hot item was spring rolls (aka egg rolls). Seriously, could not get enough. Once I hit a certain "in-take level" (lol) I'm good. Don't even mention them. I want nothing to do with them. lol.
7. Pregnancy EXHAUSTION is intense. It's 8:30p.m. on a Saturday night. At 7:00 I calculated "if I go to bed RIGHT now, chances are I will wake up at........ 5 or 6 am.... no thanks". So have forced myself to stay up so that I won't be up early in the morning, but it's painful. I am so exhausted, I just want to go to sleep.
8. I LOVE this time of year in Perth. Nice warm days... but not hot at all. Cool evenings to where when the windows are open, come sunset you need a blanket or sweat pants, but it's not COLD. Just a nip/coolness to the air. Not to mention, you don't feel like you will DIE of heat exhaustion! lol
9. People should really think before they speak. This week one of my employees asked me "Aren't you scared of giving birth?" I thought about it, and while yes, the idea is a little frightening, at the end of the day there are only 2 ways this baby comes out... delivery or c-section, so for now, I'm not stressing. So I replied "Nah, has to come out one way or another, so why stress it now?" She then said (all panicky...) "yeah, but what if you get ripped? What if they have to cut you open? Can you imagine how much that will hurt? And if they have to do stitches, won't those hurt when they put them in and when they are there for two weeks? Like, won't it burn?" UMMMM..... What DAFUQ did you just say? Never utter those words to a pregnant woman. Ever. We have enough shit filling our brain with fear and anxiety, don't add to it. Thanks.
10. Not only can I watch the same movie over, and over, and over (as previously discussed) I catch myself "wondering" what's gonna happen. Will it all be ok? Will he be caught? WTF is wrong with me? lol. I can sit here and quote every line, word for word, but still have the same excitement as if I have no CLUE that Johnny will walk up and say "nobody puts baby in the corner" and get all gitty inside when he says it and takes her on stage. And yes, I'm watching "Dirty Dancing" as I blog. Don't judge.
Until next time.... love, peace, and hair grease. ;)
