T-minus 8 more days until we find out
if the first month of trying worked. I don’t even have any tests at home. I
should buy some, huh?
I can tell you last week I had a rough time eating breakfast
and couldn’t swallow down my beloved coffee. (We’re talking chocolate glazed
Dunkin Donuts coffee too.) What is that about? Could be stress. Could be
anxiety. I mean, that would be awfully early in the game, don’t you think?
Karl laughs at me when I say, “I know my body.” But I DO.
Like nothing else.
Friday, I met with our Realtor who walked me through our townhouse
and told me all the things I had to do if we want to sell or rent. Let’s just
say I’m feeling VERY overwhelmed. VERY. Like, that frozen- state-of-mind-can’t-start-anything-because-i-don’t-even-know-where-to-begin.
I also feel like a hoarder. So I watched an episode of
Hoarders. That sparked some motivation. And some serious itching.
Last night I started getting pains in my left tonsil. I was
also VERY crabby. My brain couldn’t think. I let Jackson dump the frozen
carrots all over the floor because I didn’t know what else to do to keep him
from whining. It is very very very cold out. Our freezer went out. I managed to
cook a steak dinner. I cut everything up in bite size pieces for Jackson. I
tried to listen to Karl’s day and answer his questions and process things he
was telling me, but all the while block out Jackson’s whining. It felt like too
much. Like my brain might spill over the information in it from my work day too.
Was it really that much??
In the middle of the night I woke up a bazzilion times with
my throat throbbing. Finally around 4 a.m. I took Advil. I know I shouldn’t
take Advil right now but it’s all we had and I needed SOME sleep. When I stood
up, the room started spinning. I couldn’t stop it. And it’s been like that all morning.
Either I have vertigo or some kind of bug or maybe just maybe it’s another sign
that something is cooking in me?? My ears do feel a little clogged.
One thing I remember that first month we found out Jackson
was on the way was I ended up getting back-to-back colds in August. Simply getting
sick with a cold was already really unusual for me. But twice?
Something was
UP. I think I read that the immune system of a pregnant woman goes down. True?
Not sure.
My chest feels a little tender and I have been using the
bathroom a lot, BUT I also drink a ton of water and have been drinking HOT HOT
HOT tea since we’re in a historic arctic blast right now. A lot of this can be
in my head too. The brain is SO POWERFUL.
One thing I’ve been following is a little article I found in
my Women’s Health Magazine. It lists some of the best foods to eat to boost
fertility. I’ve also added quite a bit of fish to our diets. Why? I ran out of
my prenatal fish oil vitamins and wanted the real stuff. It’s better anyway.
But it’s expensive though. One pound of wild salmon was $37. That’s a quarter
of our weekly grocery budget. The only thing I haven’t had is the buckwheat
listed. I’ve never cooked with it so I guess it’s something that has peaked my
interest and we’ll be trying soon even if this month works or doesn’t. It’s
healthy, right?
That’s about all I have. A friend sent me a link that
freaked the ba-jezzes out of me. I still laughed at it though because I’m
almost positive it’s spot on. I guess I should just focus on #2 and NOT #3. I
kind of have this problem of jumping ahead. Can you tell? http://shortwinded.net/so-you-would-like-to-have-three-children/
