13-2-2009 - Week 14

My mood while writing this blog: Spacey

Well, week 14 is here & I am supposed to go off the Prometrium, but I'm scared to. (Not that I can't wait to get rid of the messy, slimy stuff.) I contemplated staying on it until my doc appt. on the 18th, but I think he probably wants to see how I'm doing after being off it for a week.

This week I went maternity shopping for the first time, & realized that I probably just have to deal with tight clothes for a bit - most things just look quite ridiculous on me right now. I love the long T-shirts, though & I bought 2. I did buy 1 pair of jeans, which I think will probably only get me through to 6 months. I don't quite get the 'buy the same size you are' advice - that might work if only my belly will grow, but all evidence is pointing to a rapidly expanding ass, as well. I even tried to just go to lululemon for stretchy workout clothes to tide me over, but they're all too long & I don't have access to a hemming service - I suppose I should have paid more attention when my mother was sewing. At least today my appetite seems to have calmed down a little bit. I absolutely can't believe how much food I was eating last week. I certainly see how someone could end up gaining 50 lbs or more!

I had a funny conversation with my mom & dad a few nights ago. My mom was trying to tell me, "you're not as pregnant as you think you are" & my dad snickered & said, "well, maybe not as far along, but she's certainly as pregnant as she thinks...isn't it an all or nothing thing?" Hee hee! I think mom believes all pregnant ladies should just be quiet about it until they're obviously waddling.

I'm not too hormonal at the moment, other than being ready to strangle DH for taking all the leftover Chinese food for lunch - there was a reason why I ate less last night than I usually do, & it wasn't so HE could have 3 extra pork dumplings for lunch today - GRRRR! I must admit, though, he did massage my neck for about 1/2 an hour last night, trying to help me get rid of my headache. I'd finally broken down and taken a Tylenol the night before, but all that did mas make me feel stoned, guilty AND headachy. I suspect I'm being irrational about the pork dumplings, hmmmm...

Well, I have a long weekend ahead of me, with a combination of work, housework & lazing about to do. I have a good head start on the lazing about, so I'd better get going on my other tasks, as well. Hope everything's going well with everyone!
