As I approach my last days of pregnancy I want to offer my non-educated, completely un-researched advice to those who are, or will be pregnant…

1. Take it easy.  You can only play the pregnancy card for 9 months.  Take advantage of it and let other’s do the little things for you.
2. You are not crazy.  It’s the hormones.
3. Ask your doctor for a prescription of phenergan and zofran at your very first appointment.  Keep those with you at all times along with Zantac.  You are nauseated and have heart burn 24/7 for 9 months.
4. There are 2 books you need.  The rest just repeat the same information in these two:  Belly Laughs by Jenny McCarthy and What to Expect When You’re Expecting by Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Mazel.
5. It’s ok to hate being pregnant.  This doesn’t make you a bad person and it won’t make you a bad mommy.  It’s also ok to give a big f-you to those who tell you they never felt better when they were pregnant.

Quotes from Mitchell

“I didn’t know they got *that* bad.”
in reference to my ankles swelling.

“You are cute when you get mad.  It makes your nose spread wider across your face”
I’m getting the wide pregnancy nose.

“I have no idea.”
When I asked him why I was the love of his life.

This was all said during a grocery shopping trip.  We get home, I’m told to just go inside and lay down for a while.  He’ll carry the groceries in and put them away.

From Joelle’s blog, Tenth Muse:

Carly’s book, Sexography, is both a tragic and comedic memoirs about her journey of sexual self-discovery. And now, it’s your turn to blog your own version of Sexography. Even if you’re not a “sex writer” per se, we want to encourage you to explore the comedy, fear, silliness, scariness, million-and-one emotions and million-and-one experiences that are mental, physical, emotional and spiritual, all of which make up the rich tapestry of sexuality. So if you want to write about how your dog watches you masturbate or how you can’t stand porn or about your first time or what you think of sex in the media and how it affects you personally, you should. What you write about is up to you, just as long as it falls under the “sexuality” header. Personal stories about survival are strongly encouraged.

For each Sexography blog entry you post, you’ll be soliciting donations for RAINN from the readers you entertain and engage with your commentary. But the best part? Not only will you be helping an incredible cause, but the bloggers who come in first, second and third place for most funds raised will nab fabulous prizes.

The contest runs from April 1 - April 30th. Learn more about how YOU can get involved here and about the faaaaaaaaaaaabulous prizes here. If you’d like to donate, but not participate, hit up this link and make sure to enter “GBBMC2008” (sans quotes) in the comment box. Hurry! Your sign-up to participate must be submitted by e-mail by 11:59pm PST March 30th, 2008.

I’m most certainly going to *try* to enter. We are having Gage’s birthday party today.

I’m changing all my screen names. I’ll no longer be geeksmakemehot, I’ll be emopregnantchick. It is a little more fitting these days. Seriously, wtf is up with hormones. I have enough to worry about right now without worrying if I’m going to start bawling if someone looks at me wrong, or go off on someone that asks me a simple question. Losing my sanity has, so far, been the worst part of pregnancy.

<rant>

Yes, I’ve been cranky now and then through my pregnancy. Hell, I’m cranky now and then not being pregnant. But since I got sick with the pneumonia and had to stay in the hospital, my mood/attitude/sanity has went down the drain. Read more…
