Wonder Pregnant Woman!

by Leslie

So, there’s good news and there’s good news.

Want the good news first?

See that photo up there? Well, my camera isn’t as kaput as we thought. Dave was able to revive it. And while it is a Frankenstein version of the original, it will do until it can be replaced. I’ve had to start myself on a strict digit strengthening program using tiny finger weights in order to have enough strength to press the buttons, but it’s all good.

And now, the good news.

Those Sea Bands. They work! They don’t take the nausea away completely, but they certainly do lessen it. I know this because I took them off to take a bath today and OH.MY.GOODNESS. I was sick. Once I was dry, I put those puppies right back on and have been wearing them ever since. I’m falling in love with that special blue color. It compliments my current gray/green complexion.

Although, I may need to print “not a mental patient” across them. I get some funny looks when I’m out and about.

Ha ha. Out and about. I’m like the walking dead. But, I’m walking. That’s an upgrade from my Fetal Position Tour in which I had been laying in the fetal position on the bed, the couch, the bath tub, the playroom floor while Julia prances around me…

I’m hoping to be back to full mom strength soon. And praying. And begging a little, too.

Okay, if you dye them, they have to be gold! Really hideous, tacky gold. I’ll send you the matching lasso of truth… and some white orthopedic go-go boots.

Ummm. Dave didn’t give the camera mouth to mouth, did he? Glad to hear the Sea Bands worked.

Yaaa your camera is not dead. And thank goodness the bands are working for you. They are ‘fashion’ statements mate!

Dude, you look hot with the sea bands!

You sooo rock the C-bands! If you need a “NOT INSANE” stamp for your hand when you’re out and about, I’ll lend you mine

That is SO cool! I know they rock on boats and things like that, but that’s wonderful for pregnancy. YEAH. So glad you’re feeling better!

I’m lovin’ the bracelets… especially if they help with the nausea. It occurred to me that for a little flair you might consider getting some of that puffy fabric paint, perhaps in a hot pink or bright yellow and have Julia do you some design work on them. … Just a thought.

You are making me really dread the second pregnancy. Did you have nausea with Julia?

I sported that cool look while I carried Andrew. It was HOT, baby. But dang, it worked so I could have cared less about the outfit matching.
Get some ginger lolliepops too.
I will try to remember some of the other 8 million morning sickness remedies I tried during that pregnancy…. Oh, my, the memories.
