Surprisingly, I've gotten a lot done. even with not doing anything the majority of the day i have over half my introduction written, a lot of figures organized, and the methods done (mostly). and as i expected, i feel a lot better getting this accomplished.
speaking of how i feel - i have morning sickness! how weird right? 22 wks with morning sickness? but apparently her endocrine system is developing right now so that means a double dose of hormones! lucky jack. i knew she'd get me one way or another with the nausea, so here it is. but it really is first thing in the morning and then -barf, all better. and then if i lay down she starts kicking the crap out of me (which she does when its time to eat. apparently she gets as hangry as her mom). so i can see her poking out of my belly. it is by far the weirdest thing i've seen. i can also see her heart beating if i sit really still, my belly moves with each beat. crazy. but totally cool. unfortunately jack hasn't been around to watch her kicking yet, so i think he feels a little left out. instead, he pokes my belly to make her move. usually right after i've eaten. not the best idea. in a couple weeks we start parenting class. which, unlike birth circle, jack has no choice but to go, since we've paid for it. should be interesting....
i went to weebsworld yesterday (which is a higher-end stroller store out at short pump). its a small place and i'm assuming locally owned. anyway, they carry mostly bugaboos, per perego, mclaren...the expensive stuff. but i figured they may have some mia modas (the one i want), which they had one that i saw. anyway, there was one other customer in there - a woman much more noticeably pregnant than me and her parents it looked like. so there was only one guy working and he was helping them when i came in. and i walked around the store and he said nothing to me. didn't acknowledge me in the slightest. the pregnant chick said hi to me. her other kid talked to me. this dude said nothing. which made me really mad. i may not look like i can afford a high end stroller and i may not look that pregnant, but i'm still in your store looking around - the least you can do is say hello. b/c if he had stopped and said something to me, if they carried the stroller i wanted i would have likely gotten it there. not now, no way. its not that hard to help more than one person at a time. its not a large store. i am able to do it every saturday at alchemy. argh. it made me mad. hormones? perhaps. but still, i think it would have made me angry anyway. maybe not shawn angry. but angry. so don't go to weebsworld. snobs. like saks. i can afford your shit whether it looks like it or not!
and on that note, i may soon be fitting into the presents blair got me before my wedding...
Yes! I was hoping you would get use out of them...ha ha. F that store, that's the one of the many things I hate, rude, snotty sales people. I know how much it sucks to be ignored b/c it doesn't look like you are gonna spend big bucks in a store. How hard is it to say sorry, I will be with you as soon as I can...
