Warning: I’m about to share the nitty-gritty, day-to-day happenings in my world. It ain’t all pretty. Just sayin’.
6am: Wake up to pee, even though I hate rising early. Crawl back into bed and curl around my body pillow. I seriously can’t live without that pillow these days.
7am: Shower…which is getting to be a tricky business since reaching below the knees has become a challenge. But yes, I can still touch my toes, in case you were wondering. (I hear this gets harder further down the road) Select something comfy to wear from my limited wardrobe. This is the part that sucks. I love my clothes…I want to fit back into them. Luckily fun earrings and bright lip gloss seem to dress up even the most mundane of outfits.
8am: Enjoy a scone and cafe au lait with my dear hubby and relish the feel of our little girl elbowing me. Today’s going to be a great day.
9am: Another day of work commences. I mostly manage to keep all my tasks straight…mostly.
3:30pm: Slip away for a cat nap because I’m experiencing bouts of blurred vision which make starring at a computer screen doubly difficult. (pun intended)
5pm: Nearly burst into tears in the produce aisle for no (apparent) reason. I manage to make it home before the torrential downpour is unleashed.Dear, sweet B brings out his guitar to serenade me, I keep bawling, Chief and LB join us and we make a funny family all sprawled out on our big bed.
6pm: We have an evening engagement at LB’s school where I manage to meet all of her teachers without any more tearful episodes.
8pm: Finish the evening off with a good book, a stack of fruit popsicles (no exaggeration) and there you have it, the comical adventures of a pregnant lady. Yes, I do usually fall asleep by 9:30. It’s exhausting work growing this little bean sprout. Something tells me my late nights out listening to music and sipping beer might be over for awhile. Every day brings new delights and unexpected challenges. And we’re only in for more of the same in the coming months (and years).
