So, I am pretty bad at keeping in touch with people and calling and emailing. But there are some nice people out there who are still my friends. And since I am preggers and all I thought it would be nice to track things and share, since it is the thing to do and people ask and want to know about pregnancy stuff. Sooo, I am gong to commit to posting once a week, Sundays from now till the baby comes.
So how are things going?
With the baby:
I am now on (wait I need to look this up online) week 20. I have gained 9 pounds since my first weigh in at the doctors (which does not include the immediate binge I went on when I found out I was eating for two).
Our home has exploded with baby books. As soon as I found out I was pregnant I pretty much requested every book I found on my library's website that dealt with pregnancy and babies. I have been told not to read more than one 'all you need to know about pregnancy' book because the contradictory information will just confuse me. Well my friends, they do not know me and perhaps are not familiar with cognitive dissonance. Holding contradictory beliefs in my head at the same time is my speciality.
I am reading the ever popular What to Expect When You Are Expecting, I was loaned I'm Pregnant by a friend. I also tried to listen to Your Pregnancy, Week by Week as an audiobook, but it made me nauseous. I have books on delivery Easy Labor, Your Best Birth, Pushed and even Hypnosis for a Joyful Pregnancy and a Pain-Free Labor and Delivery (I like to have all my bases covered, consider me the Unitarian of birthing techniques). I haven't read them all, but most of them are partially read.
I just got Hubii a few books on being a Dadii. Hope he enjoys reading them, I just got what the library had, not the best selection but better than nothing. Or maybe ignorance is bliss and he should just stay unjaded for as long as possible.
With school:
argh, it's tiring. I am officially registered for 2 classes plus research, but I am also taking one class unofficially and getting credit for it later. Plus I am TAing another class. It's crazy and tiring and my Advisor wants me to get all my testing done this semester (i.e. by June) before I go off to have the baby. I feel like I spend most of my time doing HW. It's crazy and I feel overwhelmed, like I am not going to get it done.
Hubii is busy with school. Planning, grading HW, writing exams takes up most evenings. But at least we can relax on Sundays. After church we come home and Hubii relaxes by playing video games. Currently he is playing Shining Tears on PS2. I can't get into it so much because the text is so small, but he likes it so far. This Friday we had two friends over and played Dominion with them. It was fun, hopefully we can do it more often. I am really looking forward to the summer, classes will be over for the both of us and we can just be lazy.
Well, that's a recap of the last few months. the following posts shouldn't be such a deluge.
