So last week, I really thought I was getting out of this whole first-trimester, feeling bad, barfing all the time thing. So what do I do? I go ahead and catch a little flu bug. That's right. On top of all the dizziness and general icky stuff that goes along with the beginning of pregancy, for the last few days I have had a little bug. I found this out because one of my co-workers and her friend had the same things and I'm 99% sure they aren't both pg. Anyhow, I did wake up feeling a bit better this morning which is good because, aside from my complete disgust with this constant sickness, I think if I'm sick much longer David might start to rebel. I think yesterday he was really wondering if I was really sick or just milking the preggo thing. Hello tootsie, you spend 2 months with your head in the toilet and see how perky you feel. Seriously though, I don't know how I'd have gotten through this crap without him dutifully cooking, cleaning and just tolerating my new hormonal self.
In related news, yesterday I reached my weight low. I'm sure I'll start to baloon out soon. I have a little pooch in the belly area, but I'm not sure if it's baby or just belly. Anyhow, Saturday will mark my twelfth week (three months!) so I'll take another belly picture. I just heard about a woman who miscarried at 11.5 weeks so I'm still a little nervous about that, but it's getting better. I now officially have less than 200 preggo days ahead of me -- well, as long as the little guy doesn't come late!
Other than being sick, I haven't got a lot of news to report. I'm slowly recovering from the election and getting excited about the upcoming holidays. David and I watched "the passion" yesterday -- his co-worker lent it to him and so we felt a little obligated even though we really hadn't intended to ever watch it. Honestly, neither of us were really affected by it. I was certainly graphic and I could see why it was disturbing. But I have to say that, despite the expensive film-making and the gruesomeness, it was just another religious movie to me. I think the hype before hand was more interesting than the movie itself. And, honestly, I think the people who got all bent out of shape about it are people who just don't get that it's a MOVIE. Well, that's just my perspective. I found it really bloody (definately to the point where you're just totally sick of seeing Jesus all gross and mangled) but other than than, I don't feel like it was all that unique of a film. ...well, I suppose it was unique in that it was a religious movie and it was well funded.
Hope to hear that everyone is doing well!
