So things have been going fairly well lately, it sure doesn't take much to piss me off lately or make me grumpy!! I remember in the beginning of this pregnancy everyone was talking about how people feel the need to invade your space and feel your belly!? Of course without asking first - you would just be talking away and next thing you know there is some strangers hand on your belly. I feel I have been fortunate in this aspect and have not in countered too many belly touchers!? Instead I get the stares, you would think that by now I would be used to people staring at me but it is different this time. Before people would stare cause I was over weight and they would whisper, it bothered me and was probably one of the reasons why I decided to loose the weight. Then when I was thinner and lost 80lbs, people stared again but this time they would let me know what they thought or ask questions (instead of whispering) - I suppose this was better but after awhile I did get tired of the looks even though they were good looks. And now people stare and compare, some will mention how "I look bigger then the last time they saw me" or compare my belly to a friend, tell me I'm "huge" or say I'm "small". I can feel their eyes go from my face to my feet, giving me the once over and then make their comment. I hate it - and even though I did it in baby class and wanted to compare my belly to other bellies it still makes me feel awkward. But I also believe it is different for two pregnant ladies to stare and compare then a perfect stranger telling me how I look (like I don't already know?).
I am also surprised that I really haven't had any strong cravings in this pregnancy. Once and awhile I would go on a certain kick - like slurpies one month then toast with peanut butter the next month. It seemed like my cravings would change by the hour, I'd see a commercial for a burger and would want one, then I would see a popcorn ad and would think that was a great idea too!! ;) But I didn't really crave one thing that I had to send dear hubby out in the middle of the night for, nothing that I would dream about and cry over if I couldn't have it!?
I still have not experienced this "nesting" thing, I think about it, like yesterday on the way home I was determined to paint the baseboards. I planned on laying them out on saw horses in the basement and planned to get them all painted, how hard could it be! ? But then I mentioned this to hubby and was shot down, I was forbidden (well not really but he didn't like the idea very much). So instead he said that he would rip out the carpet, what he didn't know was that the original carpet that was in the house had a rubber backing so underneath the underlay was rubber that he had to scrap off making the job twice as long/ hard, but now the rug is out and the room already looks better with just the sub floor there!! :) Today he made lots of plans that I kinda doubt will all get done but he said he would vacuum, paint the baseboards and install the floor tonight!! :o Plus work on the stuff he needs to finish in the garage to make money!! So we will see if it all gets done!?
Tomorrow is Friday the 13th and I thought might be my last day at work but now I'm thinking that I will probably still be here next week !? I have my 38 week appointment tomorrow and this time there better be a internal exam cause I'm curious to know what's going on down there!? So she should be able to tell me more tomorrow and that will determine how much longer I work for. Plus I didn't really want Friday the 13th to be my last day!? ;)
