Good morning.
I’m not feeling well. I’ve been fighting a cold all week, and today, I’m extremely tired. We’re having a wind storm today, and the power is going on and off. It isn’t as bad in our little cul-de-sac as I’m sure it is elsewhere. Right now, we sit at the base of a big hill, which shelters us I’m sure. The new house is on TOP of a big hill, so I have no doubt we’ll get hit harder by windstorms in the future. But our chances of flooding will be dramatically reduced!
However, remember that we had roofing supplies delivered and stacked on top of our roof yesterday, so I’ve spent the morning picking up plastic vents that are blowing off, and I’ve noticed that one of the packages of shingles has opened and is starting to blow around.
Lovely.
All my energy is being spent packing and arranging to move. It’s getting harder as I’m getting further along in the pregnancy.
Today, Nate is doing “handyman” things around the house like replacing the garbage disposal, faucets, maybe sinks and dimmer switches. Handyman does not come remotely natural to the poor guy, so he’s having a rough time of it. Being born male doesn’t automatically mean you know how to do all of those things.
I’ve kind of given up on healthy eating for right now. Every time I try, my stomach hurts. Right now, dairy, sugar, and simple carbs are the only things I can stomach, and dairy is the only thing that soothes. It’s so weird. We had gone completely to soymilk before the pregnancy, but I’ve been drinking a ton of cow milk.
Last night for dinner, I had manicotti, and my stomach didn’t hurt! I’m tired of fighting it. So I’m not going to.

Yeah, I hear ya! When my stomache hurts, carbs is all I want..things like crackers and toast and cereal. I have been known to eat an entire dinner of four pieces of cinnamon sugar toast when I don’t feel well.
My husband is very handy, BUT, he is not motivated often. Right now I worry about the house rotting around us( we have multiple leaks through out the house)as he lays on the sofa all the time he is not at work. I guess he started his eternal rest early………Hurray for Nate trying so hard!

I think I am more handy than my husband is. I am the one that finished fixing the hole in the wall (that he made by kicking it) after my dad didn’t finish, and I’m the one that took the vacuum apart and fixed it (the new one AND the old one).
anywho, I said I wanted to join the health group at the beginning of the year, but have done nothing for it.
I seem to be sick all the time, and tired.

Oh, sorry your not feeling well, especially with all that is going on! Take care of yourself:)

Do what will make you feel better right now. You are nurturing life, so if milk does it, then milk it is!

I think on some level our body craves what we need. There must be something in the milk and carbs your baby is using, so go for it.
(I try to use the same argument when I’m craving fudge & caramel ice cream. If I buy Breyers, I can usually rationalize it, since it has so many “natural” ingredients, grin)

My hubby isn’t very handy either…he changed out our garbage disposal and it took nearly a full day…
I’m sorry to hear you aren’t feeling well but I’m glad the baby is doing well. We just went in for our ultrasound and found out we are having a girl!
