What This Pregnancy Has Taught Me January 9, 2008
Posted by Emily in : My Former Dog Children, My Handsome Husband, Pregnancy, Princess Hannah , 1 comment so farWhat This Pregnancy Has Taught Me:
- Ting (a Caribbean soda, tastes a lot like squirt) can keep morning sickness at bay.
- The song “Big Girls Don’t Cry” by Fergie can also tame morning sickness.
- My head makes a great seat for Hannah when I’m lying down like a sick beached whale on the cold floor.
- My belly and head make great drums for Hannah.
- Salt is not the same as rock salt. Ask any pregnant woman who craves ROCK SALT. Yes, it is true.
- Any citrus fruit can be eaten all day long. In fact, I could probably live on grapefruit for the next seven months.
- My “parts per million nose” can now smell Hannah’s stinky diapers, which don’t stink. I have addressed this before in another entry, Hannah’s diapers don’t stink. Ask anyone. However, this new nose of mine can just detect the slightest hint of a stink and that means “Finders Keepers” for me. Pee ewe!
- My “parts per million nose” can also smell the lacquer on my kitchen cabinets. It’s not my favorite smell. This nose of mine can also smell my puppies’ paws from across the room (a smell I like) and the stinky dishes in the sink. It has gotten me out of dish duty when the smell (to me) is so strong, I need a “real man” to wash them to save me from the stench.
- It is possible to sleep 10 hours a night and take a two hour nap during the day with Hannah. This baking a baby thing requires a lot of beauty rest!
