EAT ALL THE THINGS

Here's a brief overview of my pregnancy eating habits:

1st Trimester: Ugh. Morning sickness is awful.  I don't want to eat anything. My appetite is lumping all taste sensations together in one big pile of 'meh.' This means brownies have the same lack of appeal as brussel sprouts.

2nd Trimester: Interesting.  Some foods I usually don't like sound very tasty (spicy meats and meat sauces), and some foods I usually enjoy sound very unappealing (chinese food). 

Last month of pregnancy: OMG FOOD IS DELICIOUS AND I'M HUNGRY ALL THE TIME OM NOM NOM NOM NOM.

Convention Dilemma

Me: "Hey hon? Do you want to do a day-trip to KublaCon this weekend?  We've never been, and I think you'd have a lot of fun."

Him: "I don't know.  Yeah, it would be fun, but we're really close to your due date. I don't know if I want to take you that far out of town."

Me: "Oh come on. If I DID go into labor at a gaming convention, imagine how much geek cred we'd have after that.  We'd be LEGENDS."

Week 33. Week of the watermelon

Saturday was a lovely, wonderful day.  K threw a baby shower for me and for D, and baby to-be-named-later.

About a dozen of our friends showed up to Highland park to eat cupcakes, drink lemonade, and laugh about parenthood with us. 

Here are some of the more hilarious parts of the party:

D: "We're going to need to hire a wet-nurse."
Me: "Why? I'm planning to breast-feed and it's not 1850."
D: "But we'll still need a wet-nurse."
J: "Dude, what do you think 'wet-nurse' means?"
D: "A nurse who takes care of all the wet things."
EVERYONE LAUGHS.

A: "Sorry I'm late.  I woke up hungover at a stranger's house in Benecia and realized I needed to be 80 miles away.  Here's some money."
