It's a good thing that I'm no longer working because I have no idea what I would wear every day if I had to go to work and look "normal". Instead, I get to wear cotton workout shorts daily (and let me tell you how attractive I feel).
The reason: My uterus is between the size of a tennis ball and a softball right now and the baby is 5/8 of an inch long already (or the size of a kidney bean). Next week starts month #3 and the last month of the first trimester.
So, a few other "fun" things are starting to happen too.
- I'm happy to report that I'm less moody (maybe Will has a different opinion).
- I need to take a 1/2 hour nap between 3 and 5 almost every day
- I also have to eat a snack between 3 and 5 every day because I do feel slightly queasy, but I hear it could be a lot worse.
- Frequently I wake up to remember some incredibly bizarre dreams. Last night I was dreaming that a very large black spider was crawling up the wall in our bedroom. I was spraying it will Windex and 409, but it wouldn't even slow down. It was so large it turned out to be a small cat which looked a lot like Nikki Paus with a strange looking brown cotton ball tail. We caught it by throwing a towel over it and carrying it down into the kitchen to let it go outside, but by that point it had turned into a tater tot smothered in ketchup. WEIRD, huh?
That's all for now.
No, I didn't eat it. The dream ended at that point.
ReplyDeleteThe very next night I dreamed that Will and I moved back to Northern Virginia and foot-long worms were eating through the brick mortar on the outside of our new apartment building. When it started to rain, sheets of water were falling down on the inside of our bedroom walls. It was very odd.
