oh the pressure!
you women out there that have had kids know this one…you just feel like the baby is going to drop on out in your panties when you’re walking down the street. or maybe using a public restroom, right? yep, i’m in that phase. so happy to be walking again though - THANK YOU FOOT FOR HEALING! but whew, the moments of pressure!
last night was date night for my husband and i. after eating all that cake and chips yesterday in the midst of a drama-induced binge i was very full. BUT we still went out to dinner, not once, but twice last night.
yep, you heard me right. TWICE!
First we went to this local italian restaurant we’d been wanting to try. after that we were heading to a movie. well, the italian food was so incredibly salty it was insane. i, of course, ate most of mine, but my husband didn’t. apparently his was inedible. so then off to the movies…well what we wanted to see wasn’t actually playing, so then what? we had about 2 hours of freedom outside of our house. all we wanted was a couch to sit on to chat…bars didn’t feel right being about to explode a baby and all. so we tried a few coffee houses but with the college kids back it was hard to park. finally we decided to check out a few restaurant/bars that have a nice vibe. figured we could get a dessert to share. then we amble by this place we’ve always wanted to try and is supposed to be amazing. Chez Henri! they had a table for two so in we went not sure what we were doing…dinner number 2? dessert? appetizers?
There was this strange feeling of getting out now while we can. i’ve been contracting the last few days and we figure baby is on the way… so down we sit. we felt guilty taking a table at this nice place and only having dessert and that led us to the real menu. we got a tomato salad to share. i was going to try a roasted squash soup, too, but it was only part of this special menu, so we got the only other vegetarian thing on the menu - a tamale - but it was an entree. what the hell were we doing? It totally became dinner number 2! To top it off we each got dessert!
…oh my am I a big girl today…
at least i took a nice long walk this morning…
i think i’ll try to just have one dinner tonight…

maybe the second dinner was for the baby
You are just building strength and energy to bring that baby into this world
Glad you enjoyed youre time together…dont feel guilty.
Count yourself lucky, I say! When I was pregnant with my youngest, I had to force myself to eat. I swear I only managed 800 to 1000 calories a day, but I still managed to gain too much weight. I don’t know how that happens. It was just one of those weird pregnancy things that you notice afterward, when the baby takes on traits you had during your pregnancy. My oldest, I was anxious and an insomniac. She is a high-strung drama queen who only slept 15 minutes at a time as an infant. My next, I couldn’t do anything but sleep. She was only awake for 15 minutes at a time. My son, I was moving furniture and restless, and he rearranged his own room when he was 2. Riley, I gained weight even though I was barely eating, and she’s the pickiest eater on the planet but she’s dead-on what the doc says she should weigh.
Weird stuff.
Enjoy it while you can!

New moon…
