This has been so interesting.  It amazes me that there's this independent THING in me that does it's own stuff regardless of what I'm doing.  I've been taken over by an alien parasite!!!!   We're 28 weeks now.......on the downward slide toward home plate.  Hallelu!!!

Monday was soooooooo NOT cool as junior (or juniorette) decided to go from breach position to transverse......meaning sideways in my belly.  I was quite uncomfortable much of the day wondering what the heck was going on???  I managed to persuade the little fishie to turn later that night......basically pushed and prodded the belly and spent a bit of time on my hands and knees.   Poor Grant.......as I recall coming home from work that day and stating emphatically that I was NEVER doing this to my body every again.  Sorry baby......but there will be no sibs for you......other than a dog or two.  I think poor hubby wants to just hide for the remaining 3 months.   Can't say I blame him.  

I'm weird.  I've got to be the most NOT excited pregnant person ever.  I freak......I worry......but excited????  Ummmmm, that would be a firm no.  I don't know what's wrong with me.  Everyone ELSE is geeked......which makes it doubly hard for me NOT being geeked.  I'm not sure I have a nurturing bone in my body.......sooooooooo NOT maternal.  Others tell me that will change when baby makes its appearance.   I hope so.  Am a bit concerned about my indifference. 

I'm 6 months now.  I feel baby move ALL the time.  That's pretty strange really.  I expected kicks and punches but not BIG turns.  Feels like the kid is doing summersaults sometimes.  I finally started really 'showing' too.  Can't hide too easy under big t-shirts anymore......which means my meager summer wardrobe is pretty limited.  

So far I manage to literally stuff myself into my jog bras.......but they barely fit anymore.  Those I could easily chop off and not miss.  Don't like big boobs.  I was fine with no boobs.  I'm ready for no boobs again.  Who in there right mind would EVER get implants?!?!?  At least I know now I'll never EVER be one of those people.  

There also seems to be a vague itch all the time with the belly.  I know the skin is stretching and all that jazz........but no one ever talks about the ITCH.  Did I mention I want my body back???  I'm ready to not be pregnant now.  Ugh......4 more LONG months to go.  

in a family way......

Wow......ok, so I'm two months pregnant. ME.....pregnant. Miss NeverGoingtoHaveKids is knocked up. Feeling kinda freaked out.....doubting for some reason that I could make a little human that won't be screwed up.

So far so good......no morning sickness yet. I'm still running and working out. My boobs barely survive the job bra experience though. Why did I never know how MUCH the boobs hurt with pregnancy??? HOLY cow!

We had an ultrasound April 28th. We could see the little guy right away......the heart was beating and we got to hear it too. It was a bit emotional and made things more real for me. It's hard for me to fathom that something is IN there. It amazes me.

Grant is too cute. I had no idea he would be so excited about being a daddy. He was happy my pants are getting snug......which made me want to smack the snot out of him. :-)

I feel warm a lot.......pee a lot.....and feel like my heart is pounding at times. I tend to get a little punky if I get too hungry.....which is new for me since I rarely ate more than one meal per day. I dream lots and they are quite vivid too. One thing I AM excited about is feeling the baby when it starts to move. I've always thought that would be really cool. I probably have awhile to wait......like 3 months before that will happen......but it's something I look forward too.

More to come.......

my dog is sooooooooooo cute...

Dang , my dog is cute. He's sacked out on the couch.....in MY SPOT.....with his feet up by his nose. His ears are all droopy and he seems to be drunk. He cares not if I kiss his nose and chew on his feet. WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME?!?!?! I'm addicted to his soft furriness.....I could snuggle him all day and be a happy camper. That's all I need is a doggie to love.

Chaos reigns

Dude.....this job search stuff is insanity.  I can't really say HOW many jobs I've applied for or asked for more information about.  People call the house and I have NO idea what job or facility they're even talking about.  

Talked to the U of M nurse recruiter today for 40 minutes.  Now I'm thoroughly freaked out!!!!!  Very nice guy......but I guess I've grown to enjoy working with people NOT trying to die.  Not into the critical care thing.....if ever.  Perhaps a career that involves a pool would be in order????   

Rabbit wine

I've developed quite a taste for wine.....but have no education about the different types......so we just buy whatever.  I DO prefer the cough syrup type of sweetness though.....so basically we just guess when we buy new wines.  Right now I'm having my bunny wine.....Lingenfelder to be exact.  It's a gewurztraminer.  Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.   Fat lot of difference that makes to me.  It's not a sweet one folks......so if you prefer sweet, steer clear of the bunny.  It IS high alcohol though.....so I like that aspect.  13.5% ROCKS!!!!!
