all about me. This is my fourth pregnancy and it still awes me. The burgeoning belly, the familiar movement in the belly (that I miss soooo much when the baby is born), the exhaustion that blindsides me at 10:13am, 3:53pm, and 7:04pm, the inability to lotion my feet without nearly throwing up a little in my mouth and I still have just about 6 weeks to go. The worst part - vivid bad dreams. I have the worst dreams when I am pregnant and they are SO REAL. The only good thing about some of them is I don't have any melasma or other skin troubles and I am back to my normal size. Yes, I am vain. And the heightened sense of smell? Who needs that? And don't get me started on the anxiety. And don't ask me how much screen time my almost 3 year old is getting. Or how little quality time my other 2 kids are getting. And for sure don't ask me any question that needs a definite answer because for some reason I can't even remember my own name, much less what that plant out my back window is called or what the stitch I just did is called.. And even though it is my fourth pregnancy and I know millions of others have been through it, it still feels all about me.
Needless to say the last couple of weeks I have perusing the blogworld again. A bit mindlessly but gathering inspiration. Here are a few of my latest reads.
A Little Great - specifically this post.
This post about spring makeup, but I am pretty sure I would botch in anyway since I can't even apply
mascara correctly. Someone want to help me?
And there were more but I thought I could remember them but brain. doesn't. function.
But I have enjoyed this site because the show is awesome and ACTUALLY answers some of the questions it presents.
And of course, are you watching LOST? Only a few more episodes and even though I doubt many questions will be answered, I l.o.v.e the show. And I L.O.V.E the podcasts Damon and Carlton put on. I laugh outloud. Which looks odd when you are walking by yourself trying to get some exercise.
I'm off to another prenatal appointment. This baby is a mover and a shaker and quite a sneaky one according to Caroline, my 5 year old. Is it sad that I look forward to the time in the waiting room?
