Christopher and I have both had covid since new years, a week, and ever since we got it the sweetest thing that he’s said to me and that I can imagine is “do you want me to get you a cup for your loogies?” Yes please, beautiful angel
I made a HIDEOUS face in the mirror by accident, then I showed it to Christopher at dinner so we could both laugh. But he said “yeah that’s the face you do all the time. I’ve seen it.” Hahaha oops
I’ve been having very vivid and peculiar dreams this pregnancy and last night I had a long conversation/explanation on how to correctly brush my teeth. Do we think God is sending me messages to brush better? or nah
(We’re not telling the name we picked out for our son, eta April 2023, but) it’s cool that the first thing that 4+ people have said when trying to guess it is “it’s probably a name from the Bible, so ____.”
And then they guess something basic like MATTHEW so they get it wrong, but. It feels like an accomplishment that people know how much we love Jesus. (no one will ever guess tho. It’s so good)
I feel like I have to tell everyone, strangers, “I’m pregnant” to explain why I’m eating so much more than other people
Either I’ve simply rediscovered cream cheese and chives crackers, or my pregnancy craving is cream cheese and chives crackers. How booooooooooring am I? I also suspect that I’m craving apples and skim milk
I used to at least TRY to hide the sound of the chip bag when I eat sour cream and onion chips for breakfast or after 8PM. But then we got married, I got pregnant, I lost the will
I’m 4.5 months pregnant and it still alarms me sometimes when I look down and see my bigger belly. It’s remembering I have a reason (baby), it’s grace, it’s still weird.
(I know most people do this, but I usually don’t SO IT’S EXCITING to me)
Now that I’m pregnant, I sometimes eat chips at >9 PM and AFTER I’ve brushed my teeth and AFTER dinner. I told Christopher “I feel like I’m a freshman in college, just moved out of my parents’ house” and he says “is that as exciting as college got for you?”
hahahaha yes
Christopher went to the grocery store and came home with 6 bags of chips + protein bars. AND he made pancakes this morning. I’m somehow even jealous of myself
The best part of my pregnancy so far has been p cakes for breakfast. Christopher made some with banana slices cooked INSIDE them today
I don’t know if it’s the pregnancy or if I’m just excited about the things I do (take a shower, break down my wheelchair, cook breakfast), but I reach to fat burn zone for most of my day these days. cool BEANS
it’s my last Christmas where Achilles is my only bby, so I just bought her tonssss of presents, so many squeakers, blankets, and bones. tons
Somehow I’ve changed the Instagram algorithm to show me reels of people giving birth, breastfeeding, and delivering their own babies in public. please help
Sometimes I wake up and don’t feel like I’m going to barf! THOSE MORNINGS are when I worry I’m not pregnant anymore. (I am, I take lots of tests, and I’ve just grown comfortable in my nausea)
[I’m pregnant so] I’m gonna be a big gal in a wheelchair for the first time and LEMME TELL YA. it’s limiting. I’Ce already decided on the places I won’t go once I’m large because I don’t want Christopher to lift me up the stairs&into the bathroom & hurt his back. I’m excited to have my body back!!! but with a baby. Week 13, it’s still kinda weird
