My mood while writing this blog: barely contained

---

He's been so excited he's already told at least 4 people. And he's realizing there's no easy way to break this kinda news. You just sorta jump into it!

Like I did with my best friend. "So, guess who's having a baby?!"

And him with his best friend, "So, your son's birthday is on the 13th? Oh, about a week before my kid will get here..."

It can be fun, but it can also be nerve wracking. Especially for me, because I'm a third time oopser. I did not plan any of my pregnancies. Not that I didn't want my children fiercely once they were on their way, but it was certainly not in the plans!

So my dad is probably gonna say hateful things, that's his way when shocked. He'll come around once he's met Ron, and see's this wasn't a one night stand kinda thing like my first two ended up being. And it will be different for everyone who's been through it with me to see it happen this way, WITH someone, not struggling against their doubt and anger.

Some people it will be fun to tell. Other's not so much. I'm sick of people telling me I knew how to prevent it. As Ron's friend puts it, "The toothpaste is out of the tube." Works for me. No point in belaboring it. And it's wanted now, so who cares.

I don't sleep well, even though I'm exhausted. My boobs hurt, so it's hard to find a comfy position when fighting with my low back aches and the round ligament pains I've been having for the past three days. Yesterday the ride to his apt in his truck nearly killed me, and I was about to say something, but I didn't want to freak him out. I had this pain with my second one. It's pretty normal, as long as I'm not spotting.

I've also got a lot of hunger, but feel finicky. I'd like to not eat a lot of times, but make myself anyhow. I've got a broken foot, and since I broke it I've gained back a lot of the weight I'd worked so hard to lose all year. And I'm a little peeved that now I can't skip meals and snacks!

I've got oilier skin. Sensitive smell, which was sensitive enough anyhow. I get lightheaded occasionally. I had some nausea spells a few days before I tested, but none since. Hoping that stays the course. A lot of heartburn. Some days ALL DAY. My skin is sensitive to my razor, so my legs burn after a shave. I love mexican food, spicy things, which doesn't bode well for the heartburn. NEED chocolate.

And I'm tired ALL the time, and wanna go to bed by 8 or 9. And if I do that alone I can sleep till anywhere between 2 and 5am. But since I'm still getting used to sleeping with someone, AND someone who snore's, I have a lot more interruptions with him. But I do like him being there more then not.

My cousin is a nurse on the OB ward at the next hospital, and so I asked her opinion about docs, and know who I'm going to.

So those are the things on my mind lately...
