    Pregnancy Recap Weeks 7-12

    July 1, 2015 by Lindsay 2 Comments

    So, once we found out I was pregnant, things kicked into a ... higher ... gear.  Not necessarily high gear, because it's just all so weird at first, but things definitely shift once you get a certain answer on a pee-covered stick.  photo 3

    Physically, we were still exhausted from being in NYC for Finals and emotionally exhausted from the OHSHITBABY realization that we were both having.  There was only a momentary freak out, but it was still enough to set us back a little bit.  

    In response to all of that, my body responded with a violent sinus infection/cold, which I of course couldn't take anything but Afrin for (Afrin, if you're reading this, I'll be your spokesperson).  SO, I took 4 days that week off work and sat on the couch and thought about my life.  I had to go to Memphis for more a cappella work the very next weekend, so I figured I didn't want to be any sicker than I had to be for that trip, since we'd officially be in the hiding-a-baby phase of things.

    Pregnancy Recap Weeks 0-6

    June 17, 2015 by Lindsay 5 Comments

    Weeks 1-6?  Is there a week zero?  I don't know how these things work.  I'm still grasping with the fact that due dates aren't calculated based on when egg fertilization actually occurs.  

    So, there's that.  

    Anyway.  I'm pregnant.  But I just told the earth last week, give or take a few people, and so now clearly we need to rehash every thing that happened in those first 13 weeks because WHEW bodies are weird.  I started to make a list of Things I'd Wish I'd Known but then I decided I really didn't care that I was learning as I go, so I'm not going to try to be all WE SHOULD BE MORE INFORMED, even though I have some choice words for people who really have no idea about the birds and the bees and the state of maternity leave and healthcare in our country.  Those people should be more informed, but I'm fine just kind of being weirded out most days by this bod and the leech inside of me.  

    And yes, at this point, the thing is a leech.  Pro-lifer's be damned, that thing is STILL taking all my food and motivation and desire to eat healthy foods.  My kid really likes Chick Fil A, incidentally.
