I sent in my registration form for my hypnobabies class today!! I got the LAST SPOT. It starts May 1st. I'm so excited!!
I have started drinking cranberry juice because I read online that pregnant women are more susceptible to UTI infections and kidney stones. The 100% cranberry juice tastes TERRIBLE, so I mix it with another juice that has cranberries, raspberries, and apples. But I don't want to outweigh the benefits of the cranberry by drinking a ton of sugar! I tried to just eat dried cranberries, but those are QUITE sugary and hurt my teeth. I can eat them in oatmeal, though.
One major pregnancy craving I cannot satisfy... FAST AND FRENCH. The best restaurant in Charleston/the world. I seriously keep looking at my calender, trying to figure out how I can drive down there... our friend Dan has a spare bedroom, which happens to be the bedroom Ash and I used to live in, and there is always music stuff Ash can do with Dan. So the excuse is there, the room is there, now I just have to find the time...
I wish I could join Ash pruning grape vines for $12/hr in the mornings, but the farmer has this crazy dog who jumps up on people, and last time I was there she knocked me over and scratched me with her claws. So I don't feel right going back there, especially now that my belly is bigger. But gosh darnit that's good money!! I would ask her to lock up the dog, but she wants the dog to be out every day with her so she can work on her behavior daily. If the dog is locked in the pen all morning it might just make her even more neurotic.
I wore shorts and a tank top on Sunday. It was so beautiful. I did some work outside on the leftover cedar trimmings, while Greg, Dylan, and Danielle (who is due about the same time I am) worked on building our tool shed.
COME ON, BABY BELLY, YOU ARE SO CLOSE TO JUST POPPING OUT!
I think that you could probably handle going to the farm with the crazy dog...when the dog looks like it's going to come up and jump on you, lift your knee up and it will act as a virtual blocker. if the dog does jump on you, then you should get the okay to put it in it's doggy place, and hopefully it wouldn't jump on you anymore that day. 12 bucks an hour is a lot!
ReplyDeleteThis is a BIG dog. German Shepard. So even with my knee and arms up, she still knocked me over.
ReplyDeleteBut it's ok, the farmer agreed to lock up the dog and I start tomorrow morning!
