7/22/12 Almost 15 weeks pregnant
First off, why is it that every time I open Microsoft Word,
there is a “critical update” to install? How is it that each version is just as
crappy as the last? But I digress.
Nothing new and exciting to report on the pregnancy front.
Still nauseated most of the time, no bump. Several people have told me that I’m starting to show but
seriously, I’m not. I honestly believe that now that everybody knows I’m
pregnant, people stare at my gut ALL THE TIME and a lady can’t suck it in 24-7.
Plus there’s the whole pregnant = bloated like a beached whale thing.
Luckily, I’m a nurse so I already own a maternity wardrobe.
It’s called scrubs. I feel weird when I wear pants that don’t have an elastic
waistband or tops that aren’t four times too big for me.
On the nausea front, no real change. Still feel I have some
sort of cruel stomach virus that makes you gain weight. I also attribute the
heightened sense of smell to the nausea. It’s not so much that I can smell
better, just that every smell makes me sick. I often think of an episode of
King of the Hill where Bobby is put on a Ritalin-like drug that heightens all
his senses. He sits in the kitchen, starring blankly into space. He sniffs.
“The milk in the fridge is about to go sour.” He announces. He pauses. “And
there it goes…”
Indeed, Bobby, indeed.
