Mar. 21st, 2013 03:20 pmR is on a diet, losing weight. He uploaded a calorie counter and all. SO proud of him.:D
Me? I'm on the reverse diet, GAIN weight, but basically I'm over worrying so long as I maintain. And I have been. The baby gets fed first from what I take in, and I get what's left so I'm on a ton of vitamin things too. Its absurd but we're getting by.
The nausea...still lurks but I can at least eat three meals a day and snack. So that's been good for my sanity. Also getting out more, spent wednesday at the studio like old times and felt pretty good. Getting my strength back up, all that weight loss/bed rest totalled my stamina. I'm far from 100% but so much better.
Two aunts/uncles are in town for whatever. That is, marlies and her husband, and kathy/hans, so we'll meet up. I don't much care for marlies, she's barely been civil to me in 8 years and now she's all Yay, baby and we're besties or something I don't think so.
Gonna go veg and read Game of thrones. Half way thru book one. Then work on portfolio and do a metal order tonight, and maybe even write. Lookit me all productive.
Boys names are hard to come up with, nothing ultra weird spelling, nothing super trendy, and its very difficult. We might have narrowed it down. we have time. No, not telling till the booger hatches, because I don't want any crap over the name.
Actually, aside from well intentioned ( the worst thing sometimes) people suggesting "what to expect" as a good guide, no thanks, I've heard enough of that book to know it's not worth it. we make lots of jokes here since one edition suggested Mom reward herself with a fat free muffin top sweetened with fruit juice as a labor reward.
Fuck that, I want a huge plate of nasi goreng. Craving it like whoa but few places sell indonesian here so I will gorge in Amsterdam I'm sure. This could change but a fucking MUFFIN? FUck that.
I ditched one pregnancy guide that had quizzes thru the book of "are you at risk for" and every one had "are you pregnant", scoring, if you scoreed yes on one or more of these things....talk about being set up.
So no, no "books". We google things now and then, but I'm really doing this low-fuss pregnancy thing, not really trying to be perfect, just human. I dunno. We'll see how it all goes. Making grand plans of our vision and mission as parents could be turned on its ear at any point because it is a human, not a lump of dough. I'm opting out of the mommywars, and tuning out the hype of "you MUST do this or your child will never go to harvard." its ok, we can't afford it, and they'll be just fine in life if they don't.
I do need to get a larger hoodie. The belly.....and oh the kicking. Good grief.( its all good, in the end.)
Starting to believe I can get through the next three and a half months sanity mostly intact. Desperately trying to put on SOME weight and keep it on before next week's appt.
