Food Facts

I was doing so well enjoying all the foods that I have always enjoyed eating, until this week. First off I've been craving Cheerios. Second I ate a piece of chorizo sausage. It was super spicy in my mouth, but I was informed by my friend that it was in fact not spicy at all. I found this realization to be shocking. This was okay though because everything else still tasted delicious. Then I woke up yesterday... For breakfast I had a multi grain english muffin with butter & jam, for lunch I had an everything bagel with scallion cream cheese & for dinner I ate dry Cheerios & sliced apples. I had to be careful to not eat the apples too quickly. When I did, I became repulsed by them. Then the worst thing happened yet, Darren offered to scoop me some ice cream. I said yes, but just a little, just in case I was turn off by that too. He brought me my favorite flavor, B&J's Vanilla Heath Bar Crunch. I took one bite & almost couldn't swallow it. Repulsive & a devastating discovery. Now this morning I woke up dreaming about a Cinnamon & Raisin Bagel with Butter. I guess this is the time where I eat all carbs. Oh, an there is something in the refrigerator that really offends my nose.

The Illusive BM

The once daily morning BM has been reduced to an every other day occurrence. I so treasured my regularity, and never took it for granted, for it always pleased me. Now on the day of my BM, I sit & patiently wait for that familiar emptiness. And on my BM's day off, I feel full & sometimes sharp pains on my right & then my left. Illusive BM why have you forsaken me? (audible sigh)

Dream Sequence-Take One

Last night I dreamt that the baby was born. Only problem was that baby, who is sexless in the dream, was given the wrong name. I said to Darren, "No our baby is not named Apple!" Like some ridiculous celebrity baby, my private after thought. Darren responded with, "but that's what you told them after the baby was delivered." "I did not; I can't remember; I was hypnotised."

I don't think it means much of anything, except that I do not like objects for baby names. And maybe that I ought to sign up for that Hypnobirthing Workshop soon.

Positively Pregnant

I'll be honest, I suspected that I was preggers. I could smell the trash through the tightly closed trash can lid, but I kept it to my self. No need to stir the emotions until it was fully clear. Then I was late, one day, two days, three days & four. I was away at a friends wedding & wasn't about to buy another expensive pregnancy test when I had a perfectly good one at home. And come on, we all knew at that point that the rabbit done died. So on Monday night October 12th, I peed on a stick, and then waited. Watching that little electronic hour-glass flicker off & on until it officially declared me Pregnant. Well, there it is, in plan English. Darren had just stepped away, so I called him back & all I could do was point to it. I think he gave me a hi-five, followed by a hug, and then about an hour or so later he cried a little, but don't tell him I told you that.

I took a picture of it with my iPhone & texted it to my best friend Cookie, and then waited some more. Darren confessed that it was taking her too long to call back & that he wanted to call her. I said no way josé, I am patient & will wait to hear her scream. Shortly there after, the phone rang & boy did she scream! I have no idea what she said, the words weren't as valuable as her raw emotion. Both preggers now, just as she had hoped. As first timers, neither of us were too excited to experience this all alone. So now we journey together, 2 months apart from one another. Pretty fun for two girl friends.
