the highs:
- requests for hair playing by all family members are fulfilled
- requests for watermelon juice are fulfilled and even ready upon arrival without requests
- my new J Lo butt
- daily belly kisses from the soon to be middle child
- smiles from random strangers
- ultrasounds
- buying cute baby clothes
- eating for two
the woes:
- eating for two and weight gain
- waking up every night at 2:00am and not being able to fall back asleep until 5:00am
- waking up hungry at 2:00am and feeling incredibly guilty for satiating my hunger
- incessant peeing
- maternity clothes
- the possibility that by the end of this pregnancy, i will wear a size 10 shoe
- the inevitable waddle
- the inevitable burn while peeing that is sure to rear its ugly head post-delivery
- unsolicited opinions on potential baby names
- feet and face swelling
i have about 4 months to go. it's going to a be a loooong summer. thankfully, my aunt and grandma are coming from iran in a few weeks and i plan to play the pregnancy card and get very spoiled.
on a side note: yesterday, my husband hit my brother-in-law's car while backing out of the driveway. this morning, i side-swiped my husband's car while backing out of the garage (why was it parked outside anyway?!?) and ran over A's tricycle in the process. i think we just need to S L O W down a bit. can you imagine the telephone call to geico? "hello, yes, i'd like to report that my husband, a mohseni hit another mohseni yesterday in our driveway and today i hit my husband's car in our driveway." something is rotten in the city of clifton....
