I found out so much about pregnancy that you never want to know until you are pregnant and I wish I could be the world's guru on pregnant taboos that nobody talks about that they SHOULD because it's scary being in this 9 month training to be the best mom ever thing that you always feel inadequate and people should tell you stuff. Seriously.
Like, don't write a book about how sleeping on my back will kill my child because it cuts off the major blood flow of your lower body back to your heart and to your uterus, because I will be awake all hours of the night trying to train my previously content side sleeping body away from what it now cannot have!
Instead, just say, hey if your body tells you to sleep on your back you're probably alreighttttt. If baby starts kicking you probably need to move a little. Also, you CAN sleep on your stomach, if you can. And I DO. so there, dr.oz. so there.
Don't tell me not to eat cheeses, i mean, i should be careful about unpasteurized foods but GREEKS HAVE BEEN GIVING BIRTH FOR CENTURIES EATING FETA and i can't just give that up! It's the only way to eat anything greenish!
Someone wiser than me once told me "make it feta, make it betta."- rebekah tayebi.
And I live my life by that.
Peanut, I don't love you less, but I GOTTA EAT SOMETHING SO YOU DONT LOOK LIKE A SQUASHED STARVED THING WHEN YOU COME INTO THIS WORLD. i just gotta. and I'm not taking prenatals because i barf them up. so, where are the nutrients coming from?
Okay enough prego rants.
Seriously I'm obsessed with this baby.
If it wasn't obvious before, I now fully admit it to everyone in the world (the three people who read this).
Today I got bouku done (how do you even spell that word?)bookoo? bew kew.
People are in the backyard in the dark cold snow helping me with THE CHRISTMAS SURPRISE OF THE CENTURY which I WILL not mention OR divulge or RUIN. Because THAT'S how awesome it is and when I see the look on this person's face christmas day it will be the best present I ever gave myself.
For reals.
I also completed my other special project which I wish dearly I could share because it's so tender I really hope it turns out well because my drawing skills are really really really rusty.
I began PEANUT'S room today, i steamed off all the wallpaper (who invented wallpaper? it's a terrible terrible thing! I mean, invent some that just comes off... easier) and i got paint samples his/her room is going to be a really pale aqua grey color and my mom is making the most INCREDIBLE grandmother's garden english paper pieced retro fabric gorgeousness (look at this small part of it) (isn't it beautiful?!? i'll be the envy of all fabric junkies)
and after my mom hand quilts it (insane) I'm going to hang it up behind our cribbbbb which i love lookit!
so picture peanut, smiling and waving (okay maybe sleeping and cooing, dreaming and drooling in the cutest fashion) from the crib with that quilt behind him/her and the aqua-grey walls
cool huh?
okay, i'm officially exhausted because last night kayla kept me awake from 11pm to 5 am crying whining and howling. poor thing.
oh oh OH and i finally got a temple dress that i can breathe in so now I can go to the temple breathing (miracles.) and maternity g units which are 876546789p better.yeah i added the p in there.
MERRY CHRISTMAS PEOPLE!
