Psssstttt...come closer

I've got a secret.

A little closer.

Closer.

Little more.

Ok, there.

I have a confession to make.  I'm over feeling the baby move around.  It's distracting and feels weird at times.

Ok, that is all.




Oh, yeah, one more thing.

I had a dream about breastfeeding the baby and it felt like it was sucking my soul from me.  Little dramatic?  Yes!

Pregnant women are not invalids!

*takes of pregnant woman hat*

Son of a bitch!!

I planned this stupid Whistler trip before getting pregnant and since there were several people going, I couldn't really cancel.  So no snowboarding for me.  I figure there are a lot of things I can do.  WRONG!

I had settled on going snowmobiling and snowshoeing, but nope, the tour companies won't take a pregnant woman.  Well, the one I was looking in to doesn't.  I'm emailing a few others, but I don't think I'll get a different response.

I could go snowshoeing on my own, but it would be my first time and I am not that experienced.  I don't feel super comfortable taking to the trails on my own, but my research says there are some easy trails in the area.

So plan B is to spend on the money I was going to spend on lift tickets and/or tours on a crazy insane spa day(s).

Woohoo!

Tank Tops

A couple of weeks ago, I went on a little maternity shopping spree where a handful of clothes were purchased, but only one specifically labelled as maternity.  It was a crazy ass expensive tank top from Splendid.  It is super soft and something I could wear after I have the baby.  Win-win.

I figured I needed to buy more tank tops, but didn't want to keep buying these expensive ones.  So I was on the lookout for something similar and significantly cheaper.  Enter H & M.  H & M has their own maternity line of clothes, but very few stores carry them.  I am super picky about my clothes and refuse to buy something that I haven't already tried on or has an easy return/shipping policy.

I tried on their basic tank top and ended up with two of them for $10!  They are long enough to cover my growing bump and come in an assortment of colors.  They were so cheap, I don't mind getting them dirty or throwing them away after the baby comes.  I had to size up, but that's ok.

On a side note, I was getting ready to take a shower tonight when I had the idea to write this post and while undressing (as one does before getting into the shower), I happened to catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror.  I was pretty surprised by what I saw and it wasn't the belly.  It was the boobs!

I walked out of the bathroom and into the office to say to the hubster, "Hey, look how big my boobs have gotten!  Probably twice as big as they were before."  Not exactly something I ever thought I would say.  We both got a good chuckle out of it.

Strong Feelings

I don't usually get very deep with this blog.  It is really just random thoughts.  A topic that I am beginning to feel very strongly with is abortion.  I've always been pro-choice, but  now that I'm pregnant, I am even more pro-choice and that every woman should have reasonably easy access to it.


I would have thought that having a baby would make me skew more pro-life.  That every baby is precious and blah blah blah.  Nope, definitely not the case.  I'm so scared of having this child and being able to provide for the baby and all that goes with it.  How can woman not have that option readily available to them?


Compared to the general population, I'm pretty much set.  I have a steady job that pays well.  My husband also is in the same boat.  We were DINKs (Dual Income No Kids), so we have a savings, we have disposable income.  We have a stable family life and are prepared for this child.


I cannot imagine a woman who was not as unfortunate as we are.


And that is my deep thought for the day/week/month...
