Babies in China Need Homes

Pregnancy . . . it's a wonderful thing. A time to excitedly prepare for the baby's arrival, a time to pick the perfect name, a time to glow. Oh, and it's a time to throw up in your trash can next to your desk at work.

I don't want to puke anymore. I don't want to feel my stomach churning every day. I don't want to eat something every 2-3 hours to try to prevent puking. I want to lose weight, not gain a ridiculous number of pounds per month. I simply want to feel normal again.

Pregnancy is not for me in any way, shape or form. Having a child that genetically, physically and mentally resembles my husband and me is overrated.

After all, orphan babies all over the world await adoption. What the hell was I thinking?

Hiatus

How many months does it take to get me to blog again?

Apparently the answer is four.

What can I say, crap got in the way. Life got busy. I have had a few interesting experiences in the last four months - some even worthy of documentation. Yet, I didn't take the time to put fingers to keyboard and get that info. out. Pity. I guess. Maybe not. Maybe the world is better off not knowing.

For those interested, I will give a short list. The imporant stuff, if you will.

Highlights July 26 - November 17

  • School started.
  • Confirmed pregnancy.
  • Celebrated 10th wedding anniversary.
  • Husband had surgery (A-OK).
  • Saw Weezer and Foo Fighters (excellent, worth every penny and more).
  • Won title of faculty homecoming queen at school (so proud).
  • Threw up a lot - pretty much every morning (seems to be subsiding).
  • Ate a lot to prevent nausea (ongoing).
  • Gained weight (ongoing).
  • Celebrated daughter's 3rd birthday.
  • Trick or treated with Harmony Bear (still trying to eat the crapload of candy).
  • Got deathly ill with devil virus (not the medical name). Lost 3 days of life.
  • Had a garage sale (made $145).
  • Purchased iPod because it was totally necessary. 60 GB should be enough. Yes, it plays video. Want to watch?

I think that sums it up pretty well. Currently I am trying to decide if my habit of putting commentary in parentheses after each statement is cute or annoying. Not an easy decision. I will need to spend further time in contemplation. As I continue that, I think I will switch on the ol' iPod for inspiration.
