Overdue post, and not much to post about.

Wow, I can't believe it's been 10 days since my last post! My lack of activity, this week at least, is mostly due to the fact that I've been pretty miserable (physically). That has sort of zapped any inspiration I may have had to write.

There's really nothing to report, except that I'm extremely irregular, and it's making my entire physical well being..well, rubbish. It may very well be just the position of my uterus, as I'm also constantly peeing and evidently not emptying my bladder every time, because I'm right back in the bathroom 5 minutes later at times. One good thing, though: nausea has dissipated, to a degree I can say is tolerable - finally! That's not to say it isn't there, it just doesn't consume my days anymore.

Speaking of physical misery (and, yes, I know it could - and may get - worse), I picked up this wonderful little book yesterday. Now, I will preface this by saying that I absolutely am grateful and appreciative to have this miracle of miracles setting up camp under my heart, but - dammit - it isn't easy. This book, called "Pregnancy Sucks - What to Do When Your Miracle Makes You Miserable" is an honest, ridiculously humorous take on pregnancy! I kind of felt ashamed to be checking out at the bookstore counter: with this book in hand, I'm sure the clerk was thinking, "This poor, unborn baby, that he/she should have to be brought into this world by this ungrateful woman!". Well, all I can say is there's nothing like honesty to get you to laugh at a situation, including pregnancy. This book has lifted my spirits, each time I pick it up, simply because I now have a feeling that not everyone thinks this is the most beautiful time in the world - not all the time, anyways. Beautiful, yes, and bound to be more so in the very near future. But the body is definitely going through some stuff that isn't so beautiful, and I'm not ashamed to say, "It sucks!". And, to know that I'm no less a woman for saying as much..well, that's comforting, even if I and a handful of others are the only ones who believe it.

The author, Joanne Kimes, as quoted on Amazon: "I realize that by looking at the titles of my books (Pregnancy Sucks, Pregnancy Sucks for Men, Dieting Sucks and Dating Sucks), you probably think they're nothing but a long list of complaints. And while it's true that they do focus on the negative, they're more importantly filled with compassion, great advice, and plenty of much needed humor to help get you through this difficult time."

I think I'll be getting the Pregnancy Sucks for Men book for Michael. He finds this book to be humorous. I'm sure he'll get a kick out of that one, especially since the authors husband contributed greatly to it.

A friend of mine suggested I also get Belly Laughs by Jenny McCarthy. It also sounds hilarious!
