  • Rough Night

    Just wanted to quickly update on the horrible night I had last night. I went to bed around 11pm feeling completely fine and awoke at 1am with horrible stomach pains. The pains were so bad that I had to lay in the bathroom on the floor by the toilet because I was nauseous and feeling light-headed. My husband called the doctor and she said it sounded like bad gas pains so I took a gas-x. Not even 10 minutes later I was vomiting. The worst part was that I was vomiting so hard that I pissed my pants! TMI, but it was the most unpleasant experience ever. This happened twice over the course of the night. I felt like I needed depends or something.

    I went to the doctor's office this morning and everything with the baby looks fine. The doctor believes it to be a viral or bacterial GI infection of some sort and recommended lots of rest and fluids. While I'm feeling 100 percent better in the pain department, I feel like utter crap. I'm hoping that by later this afternoon I will return to feeling like a human again. However, I am really not putting too much stock into that.

  • Weekend Warrior

    Since getting back from California Todd and I have done a lot around the house to get it baby-ready. Today we spent the day cleaning out the kitchen and living room because those are the next rooms to get painted. The upstairs is complete and the furniture is coming this Friday for the nursery!! I'm so excited to see how the furniture looks in the nursery room. I will have to post a few pictures of the room with the furniture in it.

    I feel so much better now that I am home from California. It's nice being able to relax after a crazy wedding weekend. I do not recommend that any one try to squeeze a 27 week pregnant body into a bridesmaid dress; it's bad for the ego, trust me.

    I have my 28 week glucose tolerance test on Tuesday. I'm hoping that I pass this test so that I do not have to endure the three hour test that will follow if I fail. Eeeks. I don't think I have the emotional stamina to sit in a doctor's office for three hours and not flip-out. I'm sure no one in the general vicinity of me will be happy to be in that office on that day. I don't know, it's crazy, but my patience has disappeared and left since getting pregnant. It's a real struggle not to lose it over small things. I feel sorry for my students this year.

    In other news I finally finished reading Great Expectations which took me almost a month to complete. I went to the library to pick up a few other books and came back with Grendel and 20th Century Ghosts. I'm reading 20th Century Ghosts now as it is a fast and quick read. I needed something light after my month marathon with G.E.

    I'm very excited to announce that once this baby comes in December I will be back on my fitness kick with Beach Body's new workout series, Insanity. I know the name sounds crazy, but the workout can be done in your home with no weights and you can burn up to 1,000 calories an hour. This sounds excellent to a woman who will be at home for a few months on maternity leave in the dead of winter in NJ. I am looking forward to being able to whip my ever expanding arse back into shape within a few months after D-Day. What did you do or what are you planning on doing to shed those pregnancy pounds?

    Sorry this post was so random but my mind is scattered in a million different places.

  • California Writing

    I am writing this post from sunny San Diego.  Todd and I flew out last Thursday night to attend my cousin's wedding in which I was a very pregnant bridesmaid.  The wedding was beautiful and while I had a lovely time I am ready to head back home and relax.

    Being at my cousin's wedding made me think about my own wedding and how fast the time has went by.  I can't believe that two years have come and gone and now my husband and I are making plans to include a new little member into our family.  This being said, I have been feeling like it's getting harder and harder to connect to girls' who are not in my position.  Being at the wedding and being in the wedding party with many single girls made this feeling even more apparent.  While I enjoyed myself it was difficult to connect to these girls and have conversations because their realities were so far removed from my own.  In addition, I should add here that I was the only bridesmaid to not know the other girls; everyone else knew at least one or two of the other girls.  This in all fairness could have added to my feelings.

    On the whole, I am happy I was able to be there for my cousin.  She made a beautiful bride and the wedding was a wedding to remember for years to come as it was as extravagant as weddings come.  She had a famous band from NYC come and they were simply amazing, the reception was at the Fairbanks Country Club which provided for a stunning evening, and the guest list included  the very "in the know" crowd as she and her husband are active members in the Republican Party. 

    Anyway, the wedding is over, my feet are still swollen from shoes, and I need to eat breakfast and head off to the airport.  I'll try to write more when I get home.

About Me

  • Let's see here, I'm an English teacher to many wide-eyed and sticky fingered 8th grade children. I have come to realize that to some this may seem like a daunting and unfamiliar task of great proportions. However, it comes quite natural and without the array of loud mouthed, sassy, and altogether quite hilarious personalities, my life would seem a bit dull. On another note, I recently have married my best friend and moved back to my home state. I also just recently found out that I'm due December 2009!
