Hi everyone!
Today started out a little rocky. I woke up and looked at the kitchen with dishes piling up. I've been super sick and Jen's been working a lot of overtime. So, I slowly started putting things in the dishwasher and clearing off counters and got really emotional. Frustrated actually because I just cant seem to keep up lately. Jen asked me what was wrong and I couldnt even finish a sentence. I started crying. Love those pregnancy hormones. I might have cried even without them, lol. She said "get dressed, your going to my appointment with me, you need to get out of this house". Even though I didnt think that I felt well enough to go, getting out sounded really good. So I got ready as she waited patiently and we went.
She had her appointment and then we went to Daphne's. For those of you who dont know what Daphne's is or dont have one, it's kind of Greek fast food, but it's all very fresh. Now, I dont know what it is, or why it is (actually, my nutritionist told me, more on that later), but a grilled steak pita with a small greek salad and rice is THE only meal that I can not only eat, but keep down. It takes me for-ev-er to eat it, but my body and the baby LOVE it. It just happens to be within a stone's throw of our OB office, so we get it every time. It almost brings me to tears, because I know that I get to eat and enjoy it. For some reason, my only craving thus far, has been for those Greek salads. Oh man, I cant get enough! My nutritionist said it's because my body's craving the fats and oils and Greek salad has all of that. I am craving other salads though. I'm in love with a fresh mexican salsa salad and any kind of house salad from anywhere. They're a little hard on my digestive system, but I just want to woof them down. I guess that I could be craving much worse, right?
After lunch, Jen said she was taking me to a movie. I wanted to see Wall-E (something you didnt have to think about while watching, lol). Well, the times were wrong, so we ended up going to see Step-Brothers. It was actually pretty funny. If you're not looking to think, and just want simple, basic 'that's funny', this is the movie to see. Crazy. I still want to see Wall-e, but I really enjoyed the movie. And, a bonus, I didnt have to walk out to pee not even once! Hope is alive! Once the movie was over, we walked to Borders to get our fill of baby and pregnancy books, magazines and all things baby. Then we went to Jamba Juice and I got a delicious Aloha Pineapple with a couple of boosts and sipped it all the way home. Jen was incredibly sweet today and I think she knew that I needed fresh air and sunlight, or at least some walking around. It was nice getting to spend the day with her more then anything. She was very loving today and it made me very happy. Gold star next to her name on the refrigerator :)
In my post yesterday, I mentioned 'The Green Dot'. Well, I'll explain that now. Jen and I want to raise our baby as organically and green as possible. It's very much the path our lives have taken in recent years and how we'd like to raise our children. We've found organic disposable diapers and organic cloth diapers. Organic baby clothing etc etc etc. On to the story.....My little sister Jayme (27yrs old, but still younger then me) is also very healthy, organic and VERY VERY green. Let me give her a capital G on that Green, because she really does her part. When I sent her the first sonogram last week (we've have lots of ultrasounds, but just one sonogram) she sent me an email back, with this statement in it:
"Ok so did jen love the baby food steamer thing or what? The fact that it is french makes me love it more. Lastly I love the sonogram pic that you sent. I am surprised that dot wasnt green since it is an organic baby."
For some reason, I laughed pretty hard at that. I told Jen that it made me want to go get a little tattoo on my belly of the organic symbol with writing inside that says Organic Baby. I wont, but the thought crossed my mind. I'll talk more in the next couple of days about the food steamer. It's for making organic baby food and is completely amazing. I'll include a link for the demo.
News Flash for the day. I have NOT thrown up or dry heaved once today. Not ONCE. Now, we've had a good day here and there followed by some really bad ones, but I'm going to stay 'glass half full' on this day, and pray that tomorrow is as good, if not better. So, today's roller coaster is something subtle:
Gadget's Go Coaster
Disneyland
Gadget's Go Coaster is a standard Vekoma "Roller Skater" junior roller coaster that has been slightly extended for two-train operation. Of course, the word standard is unheard of at a Disney theme park since Walt Disney Imagineering puts their touch on the entire ride by overlaying it with a unique theme and adding many creative details to the roller coaster's trains. Beware even though it's a family ride and appears small, Gadget's Go Coaster offers up plenty of thrills for Disneyland guests young and old.
