My new thing lately is to eat a glass of ice water with a spoon, and it has to be a big spoon, and my yellow plastic cup. Why? Because pregnancy does crazy things to a chicks psyche. And considering the fact that I am now officially PAST my due date, I feel that I have every right to get weird on y'all.
I have gotten that crazy burst of energy though....which is kinda cool....I feel like a silver back mountain gorilla wearing a dress....grunting and stomping around the house, desperately looking for something that is out of place, so I can put it in its place, only to be destroyed a millisecond later by Chasie.
I completly emptied out the closet in the babies room (which was full to the brim with overstuffed garbage bags full of Chasies old baby clothes). Then realized once all the bags were scattered throughout the room that I had nowhere else to store them...so now they are thrown amongst the other random bags and boxes of belongings that we have no room for in the house but cant stand the thought of living without....in the spare garage. Oh, what would I do without my third car garage??? Since it is hard to find a house with a basement out here, a third garage is a MUST HAVE!
So, lets see. You've all heard of the many old wives tales for inducing labor, right? There are TONS.........here's a list of the ones that I can personally testify SUCK..........
*Castor oil
*Evening Primrose oil
*Jalapenos and hot peppers
*Walking
*Talking to your baby - yes, that was weird - but hey, Im DESPERATE!
*Accupressure
*Bouncing on an ab ball
Amongst others that I dont feel like listing. Humph.....maybe Im not really pregnant...just have a really bad case of indigestion....or perhaps a tape worm to help explain the huge belly.
Oh, I forgot to post about our anniversary.....
We had our 7 year anniversary on January 3rd. I cant remember at the moment exactly what we did, so it must not have been that great. But frick...7 years!!!!!!!!! Thats just plain nutty!!!!
So, I just made the mistake of looking at my hands (which I have been trying to avoid) They are HUGE!!!! They seiously look like an old fat farmers hands. My fingers look like bananas, and my knuckels are all bruised looking (we have the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome to thank for that) and lets not even get in to what happens when I try to make a fist....lets just say that it simply cant happen. Have you ever seen 5 bananas try to make a fist???? Didnt think so. Dont judge me. It will go away after the baby comes, considering that ever happens. mmmmmmmmm spoon water.
