Okay, yet more from me tonight.

First, I’ve decided that there are simply too many choices. Baby carriers. Mei Tais, wraps, slings, rebozos… I think my head is going to pop right off. Like so many choices us parents-to-be have to make, we have to go into it knowing three things: a) that all choices are pretty much equally valid, b) that we have no way to REALLY test it out until our baby actually arrives and c) it could be the coolest thing in the world, and our baby may still hate it. It’s making me cranky. I mean, you can read what worked for other people as much as you want – and I have been – but so-and-so loves the mei tais, while so-and-so loved her wrap. So really it only goes so far. They all look great. Can’t I just have one of each?

Den is being totally silly tonight! So after the whole “basketball” comment where he exlaimed great shock at how big I am getting, we had both gone to bed and were laying here talking and joking around. I jumped on top of him, like I always to, tummy-to-tummy. “OUCH!” he said. I knew my knee hadn’t come close to his crotch (because, umm, sometimes that happens you know…), so I couldn’t figure out what I had done! And then he said, “Your belly, it jabbed me!” and clutched his stomach in mock pain. LOL! I tackled him for being silly.

So my nausea goes like this: Feel hungry. Immediately start gagging and heaving. When that’s done, eat. Have to pee 10 minutes later, which puts pressure on stomach and makes me feel nauseated… rinse and repeat. Right now it feels like I just can’t find the right balance. The internal pressure on my stomach makes me feel mildly nauseated all day – not an altogether pleasant feeling. I think I almost prefered having short bouts of strong puking. At least I felt better afterwards. I have a lot of gassy burping going on tonight, and every time I burp it triggers my gag reflex. Ugh.
