in a pregnant woman's mind.

Today Nathan and I had a sort of 'doctors' appointment. A nice man, that reminded me of Mark Driscoll, pricked my finger to measure my iron levels. I am ALMOST up to par. He said I better be eating my greens and possibly even go get some liver. I've never had liver in my life. Maybe it's good. He wrapped a bugs bunny bandaid around my middle finger and we called it good. Then Nathan and I ran some monetary errands and I dropped him off to meet with his computer science buddies. Smart cookie he is. People are so nice to you when you are pregnant. I can't get over it. Seriously. It's kind of fun. I wonder what having a baby is going to be like. Ha. I do feel like I am coming down with a cold though...which is not good. I still have 8 days for my flu shot to fully kick in. Did you know I spent an entire afternoon looking for a preservative free flu shot and I only found three? After calling every single store that supplied flu shots in the area, I found one. It was a serious God thing. They should have been gone, because I had to wait an hour for my hubby to come home and get me, and then take me all the way to target. I got one though. Also, my husband bought me a nice pair of mittens and brought me a sample from the starbucks up front while I waited for the prick of dead virus. I think the finger prick this morning was worse than the flu shot, but maybe I'm wrong.
I love being pregnant though. Baby n. kicks all the time and it is pretty heartwarming and thrilling. Daddy felt her kick for the first time Saturday. She is getting strong.
I'm going to get my haircut next week. Kind of nervous about it. What if the stylist wrecks my hair, and I have a meltdown in front of her because I'm pregnant? I have faith though. Hopefully I'll look like a pregnant supermodel by the end of the appointment. I mean, I already do, but this should make me more 'supermodelisious' for my hubby. He thinks I'm pretty dang sexy. He is pretty dang sexy. Does this mean we are going to have a pretty dang sexy baby?

Ok. I've got to rest my eyes a bit. We are having quesadillas and steamed vegetables for dinner tonight. Kind of excited I can eat cheese now that I am pregnant.
O, and I gained 1 pound. Not bad.

smattering of things.

I am home today. Nathan has a butt load of studying to do. Math & Physics due today.
Sometimes I don't know what to do with myself. I've been watching millions of movies...which has not been the best thing for me. My reasoning is that I haven't been feeling well, so I should get to watch endless movies on amazon.com. Uhm...my husband isn't into this. I should get a flu shot. Maybe it would be better if I spent my day on Pinterest? I've decided not to sign up. I think I would be addicted forever. Anyway, I like cookbooks better. I really do.

So, today I have the ukulele on the bed, a box of letter writing to do, my camera, and my sonicare toothbrush+toothpaste. I have lots of options today. I am still in my pajamas, and I'm sure that my neighbors don't think a thing about it...living on a college campus does have it's perks.
I should water my succulents. I'm kind of afraid to do this though. One already died. Too much water.
Red. Today I will wear red.
That is all I have to say.
Enjoy your day.

love.
