Q, Meena''s poopy face is the best! Why do I have this feeling that taking photos of my baby will be even more fun than photographing my kitties?
NF, you''re right, those hospital issued papers are really outdated. Mine look like xeroxes of xeroxes of xeroxes! I can''t wait to have a pear and gogonzola salad, not to mention goat cheese galore. I''m so glad you set me straight on the soft cheese because I''m starting to feel more cheerful already
Janine, so exciting that you''re in full nesting mode now! I''ll be in denial until my mom arrives in late January (with checkbook in hand), no doubt
DD, I hope you had a relaxing vacation! I thought we would be more public after the u/s, but now I think we''re going to wait until just before it becomes obvious (October?). I told one of the department administrators because I couldn''t teach my spring course, and perhaps the news is traveling slowly. I''m going to tell my advisers right before school begins, but I haven''t sent out a mass email to my friends.
You''re right about letting the emotions flow. I have a hard time expressing happiness or enthusiasm, so it''s been a struggle for me to accept the good that comes with the pregnancy. Hopefully once the semester begins, I''ll be too busy to dwell on things. Writing and researching is time-consuming, but I also spend a lot of time obsessing and being negative because I don''t really interact with anyone most of the week. Good luck revising your manuscript, that''s excellent news!
It''s great that you already have a baby bump! Did you end up getting a Bella Band? I like to wear mine in the evenings or when we go out to eat.
Jas, your poor husband! You know what they say about dull knives being more dangerous than properly sharpened ones. My husband complained about his back aching and I laughed for a good minute at him. Not very nice of me, I know, but he was laughing at me earlier for hobbling about the house moaning about my rickety tailbone.
Gotta love passive-aggressive inlaws! I''m just happy that mine have the sense to live far far away from us.
Blen, speaking of pressure points, apparently there''s a spot on your shoulders that can also induce labor if pressed too hard. Not that any well-trained massage therapist would do that, but sometimes my husband likes to give me what he considers a ''massage.'' I had to tell him to please avoid putting all his weight on my shoulders.
