Small Good Things (8w6d)

  1. Oh, the belly.  I mean, if you'd never met me you probably wouldn't be able to see it with my clothes on.  But I found myself at a school event last night, bella banded, as I was unable to zip the last of my zippable work pants, and I was sure that everyone could tell.  There's an unquestionable bump there.  But that's got to mean Peanut's growing right?
  2. It's actually springy today.  LG and I walked/scootered to the park and then I dropped her at a friend's on the way back.  Goodness abounds.
  3. Potato chips.  Apparently midwives recommend them for nausea.  And apparently they work.  (Yes, I'm really truly nauseated!  Must clean the cat box before I hurl!)
  4. I just plowed through Cormac McCarthy's The Road and loved it.  Now I'm on T.C. Boyle's The Women, which is about Frank Lloyd Wright.  Reading fiction just because I want to?  Yahoo!
  5. Chicken sausage at the grocery store for LG.  Which is good because she eats it, and I really can't stomach anything resembling a meat product.  Lentil soup, asparagus, and fruit will suit me just fine.

  1. What is it about meat and pregnancy?!? I can't even look at any kind, and the smell of it sends me running to the bathroom in a fit of gagging.
    I am definitely looking into a bella band, I can't afford a whole new wardrobe!

  3. I read a little about 'The Road,' and you are a brave soul! The word 'harrowing' kept coming up in reviews. Yay for bumps and potato chips!
