| woah. |
how i'm feeling: instead of listing complaint after complaint i'm just going to skip this. the last few weeks of pregnancy are not fun. that being said, i'm still not ready for her to be here!
the question everyone asked me that i never knew how to answer: "what are you craving?" i didn't really have a lot of cravings or aversions (aside from the first trimester when i couldn't eat anything). i mostly just ate the same stuff. but i realized i have had a ton of cereal. a lot of shredded wheat but sometimes granola too. lamest pregnancy craving ever?
am i nesting? uh, no. i'm kind of hoping this kicks in before i go into labor but it's not looking good. instead of scrubbing my baseboards and organizing closets i'm starting up a marathon of the west wing.
remember a few weeks ago when sean and i talked about how i was not hormonal? yeah....
i cried when i forgot to put the garbage cans out for pick-up (and then chased the trash man down the street in my pajamas). i cried at the verizon store when i thought my iphone photos were lost for good (i have a ton of lola photos on there, but good news- they were saved!). i cried when sean would not move his gatorade bottle that was blocking my view of the alarm clock each night. sidenote: i stand by this one. and we have since worked it out. mostly by me yelling "MOVE THE DAMN BOTTLE BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE THE CLOCK AND ALL I WANT TO DO WHILE I'M UP ALL NIGHT IS KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS". but seriously, how hard is it to move a freaking bottle over?
honestly, i think the tears are more of a lack of sleep thing. which bodes well for when the baby is here.
from sean: "I'm ready! Enough of this waiting around stuff."
I was reading this post when Jon walked by. He said - who's that? she's such a cute pregnant woman, she's all belly! So...a compliment from my husband, a complete stranger. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't had any cravings either and people ask me that all the time. I'm sure I'll love hearing the same questions for the next 24 weeks. ha.
love your story about the bottle. i've been a little more demanding than usual. quicker to raise my voice. i'm working on that.
thanks jon!
Deletei always answer "how are you feeling?" with "good!". no matter what.
Wow, Erin...you are all baby and you look beautiful!
ReplyDeletethank you!
DeleteHere's my theory, it's not that they are cravings, it's that NOTHING is appetizing. EVER. So you have to start mentally reviewing everything you've ever eaten for SOMETHING, ANYTHING to eat, which results in "weird" requests. It was true for me anyway. Never in my life have I intentionally asked to eat box mashed potatoes or blue box mac n cheese. ever ever ever.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I am totally quick on the draw to lose it with people. I look at it as taking advantage of being pregnant to take less nonsense from people. Sorry, everyone! :)
you don't like kraft mac and cheese?? but i agree. it's not like i craved grilled cheese after grilled cheese in the first trimester. it was more like, it was the only thing that didn't make me throw up.
Deletei think i lose a bit of my (almost nonexistent) patience as each day of this pregnancy goes by.
You look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAs for cravings, not every woman has them...unfortunately, I wasn't in that group when carrying my son.. it was bratwurst and sauerkraut...three times a day OR MORE!! LOL!!!
Lack of patience means your body is getting ready for labor.. just think of it as a plant getting ready to drop it's fruit because it's "ripe".. Your body can sense what's coming and is getting ready for it. Hang in there..the best is yet to come!!!
We fellows will never learn, will we, when it comes to moving that damned Gatorade bottle! I think we do make progress, but we never fully reach enlightenment.
ReplyDeleteYou look awesome. Best of luck!
You look beautiful
ReplyDeleteLookin good, dude! Sean better wrangle his bottles better.
ReplyDeleteAnd as for the question posed in your last post, regarding a possible blog shut-down: NOPE.
That Gatorade thing made me legitimately laugh out loud! Here's hoping she makes her appearance sooner rather than later :)
ReplyDeleteever going to write on this again?
ReplyDeleteyes mom, eventually.
DeleteJust stumbled upon your blog and was totally charmed by it. I'm also pregnant (about 28 weeks), went to Iceland last year, and loved (and related to) the Gatorade story and that little ninja mobile! You say in your bio you're not a writer when, in fact, you're a great one - your voice is clear and personable. Hope you don't discontinue the blog after baby arrives.
ReplyDeletethanks for such a nice comment! i hope i can keep the blog up too, it's fun to write. good luck with your pregnancy!
Deletethanks for all the compliments! you guys should know i only publish the most flattering photos. ha.
ReplyDeleteand sean has been very good about wrangling his bottles lately...
Hi,
