Where Is My Mind?

Do you think a two year old who can change his own poopy diaper is ready to be potty trained?

Why has my uterus been acting so messed up towards me? I have a uterus that doesn't like having anything inside of it. That was the official diagnosis my doctor gave me.

Speaking of uteruses, they have these new tests you can take starting at 24 weeks that will tell you if you'll be going into preterm labor within the next two weeks. Isn't that the craziest thing you've ever heard? I start the tests at my next appointment.

You know those woman who have terrible pregnancies and are either sick to death the whole time or are on bedrest the whole time, but they keep having kids anyway because pregnancy is temporary but kids last forever? I'm not one of those woman. Pretty sure I'm done after this.

I keep having sniper dreams. I'm usually at my parent's house in the dream and my dad is usually going after the bad guy in his undies. Obviously they're nightmares for more than one reason.

It's my anniversary on Friday (the big S-I-X). This year John gave me an envelope full of cash and told me it was my year to plan. He usually takes care of things and does a mighty fine job of it. I'm horrible at planning special occasions. We're gonna end up bowling, I just know it.

I stole an old lawn lounge chair from my mom's house with the intention of cutting a hole in the middle so I can lay on my stomach to tan this summer (swear on my life I didn't come up with that idea on my own). I just don't think I can bring myself to do it. Me, the girl born and raised as white trash as they come. But how else am I suppose to tan the back of my body?

I've got the restless legs. I think it's because my hips are starting to spread. Wonderful. I need to go walk around now.

I went bowling while I was pregnant and my balance was way off and my score sucked. Don't do it.

I vote you cut a whole in the chair...sounds so comfy, I miss laying on my stomach.

That lawn chair idea is not bad at all,lol. I have been trying to get some sun, and I was worried about having one really dark side and one really white side. Problem solved.

Christi said...

I vote for the chair too. I think that sounds awesome.
That is crazy that they can do a test for preterm labor!

I am so sorry that things have been so stinky for you. . . . I totally know how you feel (even though my reasons are just the normal pregnancy-uncomfortable reasons). I respect you for hanging in there!! Good luck.

P.S. I wish I would have thought of the lawn chair idea. . . .I am pining away for the day I can lay on my stomach!

Lizzy, be positive! Pregnancy IS for a limited period of time, but then I can totally understand you. Hang in there and be strong!

Love and hugs, Sanna

I am so sorry, Liz. Sorry about your uterus issues, your nightmares (although remember when Dad dressed up like a ninja and broke his ankle?), your envelope full of cash to spend.

Wait. I'LL plan your anniversary. Just hand over the money. You're welcome.

Mary said...

What's wrong with bowling? I say it's a step up from corn flakes and milk at home with the kids for your anniversary dinner.

I'm so sorry prego is such the pits! My heart goes out to you (and my stomach muscles).

Those tests that tell you whether or not you'll go into labor within the next two weeks are dumb. I've taken them many times with my last two kids and really all they amount to is a lot of discomfort. Facts are, if they think you need them, you've already been told you can't do a lot of stuff. And if they're negative, they can't promise you much. I'm sorry your pregnancy is difficult. Hang in there!

Ilene said...

Ah, Liz. Great post.

I feel kind of bad that I laugh at your pain.

I say you spend the envelope of cash on something for yourself. Then you get something awesome and most likely never have to plan another anniversary celebration again.

Tara said...

Ilene's idea is hilarious!

I love this post. You crack me up Liz! I am sorry you are having a perilous time. I agree that being pregnant, while a wonderful miracle, sucks big time.

Hang in there!

A most excellent post, Liz. I pointed out a paragraph to Jess that made me laugh, and then pointed out another one, and then had to point out the rest. Nice work.
