First of all, I thought it was funny. Not "ha ha" funny, more "ironic" funny because I was being hormonal about the hormones. John laughed. But he laughs at me anyway.
Also, about a week before that I was on the phone with my darling sister-in-law and she asked me if I ever yelled at my kids or lost my patience with them. HA! I had to stop laughing before I could assure her that yes, I do loose it with my kids from time to time (read: pretty much every day). And one of my best friends came by to help me out one day - I mostly laid on the couch while she fed my children and kept them from jumping on me. After she had been here for half an hour she looked at me and said: "Lindsay, you know I love you, but I just LOVE to see your house this messy." So that post was for anyone out there (Adrienne) who thinks my life is somehow full of sunshine and roses all of the time. It is NORMAL to have crappy days. Everyone has them. And, because I tend to hide when I'm in a bad mood - I thought I would share and give some perspective.
AND I wasn't really in the mood to read a lot of sunny congratulations about my pregnancy. I was spending way too much time in the bathroom to be happy about it. But I kind of wanted to tell people about it too.
But now I haven't been sick for several weeks and I have finally made the mental shift from "I'm pregnant" to "I'm going to have a baby." This is a big deal to me because I LOVE babies. LOVE them. I'm super super excited about another adorable baby. (and, yes it is a forgone conclusion that any baby of John's will be adorable) But I don't love being pregnant, so the reality of the baby setting in is exciting.
Plus I'm farther along than I thought I was so- Yippie! A Thanksgiving baby!
