Pregnancy has made my mind an interesting place. Imagine lots of fluffy clouds that make everything difficult to see or decipher...yes, that is my current state of mind. Beautiful-blissful-confusion.
I forget EVERYTHING.
I can't seem to focus for more than 5min at a time.
And on a note that very well could be unrelated but I like to also blame on pregnancy...My vision is blurry! No joke. Not always, but let's just say Chris & I have a new game of "Mari guess the hymn number" in church and I frequently lose.
Other Pregnancy Happenings....
(I realize much of this may not interest you, but for the purpose of documentation because with my foggy brain I may not recall all of the details!)
-I currently have 2pairs of jeans that still fit. The rest have graduated into the "rubber band" stage. Let's see how long this lasts!
-I have found that having bigger (it's all relative depending on your starting point!) boobs has not made me feel sexy, more attractive, etc....and I feel sort of jipped! (real word? spelled wrong?)
*note Chris sure disagrees!
-I have come to the conclusion that I have been blessed with all of the horrid side effects of pregnancy (all of you hair thickening, skin clearing, sex-kitten preggers wouldn't understand)...and this blessing can only mean one thing...MY CHILD WILL BE PERFECT! (sigh...if only that were the trade off)
-I officially retired from Anthropologie as of Friday. After much thought and discussion, the decision was made. Time to focus on the pregnancy, my family and enjoy a few months of taking it easy before my life of selfishness officially ends.
-I use phrases like "I'm on the verge of an unwanted purge" when feeling particularly rumbly in the tumbly. Most of the time, the purge never came. I just felt like it is going to come ALL OF THE TIME! The nauseated phase isn't 100% over, but I'm past the worst of it. I would say this pregnancy, weeks 7-17 were the killers.
-Most importantly, I have become the biggest pillow hog of all time. I bought myself a body pillow, I use 3 others in addition to the body pillow too! Getting comfy is tricky business while growing a human being!

I was so nauseous when I was pregnant with my son! Blah! It lasted almost the whole time too. Maternity clothes are actually super comfy, give them a chance. : ) Enjoy your time off before the little man comes!!
Oh the joys of being pregnant! Haha. You are not alone. Yesterday as I sat on my couch in pajamas, with air dried hair, and cabbage leaves in my bra, I had to laugh and think, 'The things we do for the sake of our kids...'. And they are worth every single second of ugliness, sickness, discomfort, sleepless night, etc. I can't wait for this boy to be here!!!
