What to expect

Read a good little bedtime book last night. What to Expect When You're Expecting.

Not because I'm expecting, but because it was there and I thought to myself, "why yes. I would like to know what to expect in the first month of my pregnancy!" and who knew that technically speaking you don't get pregnant until your third week of pregnancy? Not me! That was news to my ears! But it also got me thinking, does that mean I could say I'm pregnant one week every month? No, no I don't think so.

I should explain myself. We went up to my brothers this weekend. Ma and Pa slept in a hotel room while me and AB stayed at the T's. (um crying baby two times a night vs dad's snoring? I'll take crying baby for 300 Alex) Anyway. I slept on the floor in the nursery and on the bookshelf was the book. So I thought why not read a little? Can't do any harm. Plus I wasn't in the mood to read Barack Obama's book.

Interesting stuff that pregnancy stuff. Seems like a whole lot of wishy washy stuff. Some women have terrible morning sickness. Some don't. Some women have terrible heartburn. Some don't. Some women's libido goes craaaaaaaaaaaazy in the second trimester, some in the first. Is there anything definite about it except the getting big and having a baby part?

Anyway. The one thing that sparked my interest was the part about eczema. In that Q&A part at the end of I don't know which month, the question was about women who have eczema and how being knocked up affects it. I, as a woman who is cursed with eczema, was sadden to hear that for some it becomes almost unbearable. Well great! It's already bad enough to drive me off the deep end! I already wake up in the middle of the night scratching my legs without knowing I was doing it. Just what I want. To be knocked up and scratching my legs like it's going out of style on top of all those other things the book says might happen. Key word in all of this is might. The book also said for some lucky women their eczema clears up while having a bun in the oven. Sign me up for multiple children if that is my case!

I did not enjoy the illustrations in that book either. Fetuses are gross looking when they look like blobs. But I'll take the artists rendition over the actual picture any day. Thank you abortion protesters and your nasty ass posters!

SOPHIA REGETTI! The women from Grumpy Old Men II. She's doing something at the Oscars right now. And wtf is up with the format of them this year? Granted I haven't watched, like, any of it but what the hell happened to them saying the person's name and just showing a clip?

Ok. Ewww the Homewrecker. Angelina Jol-youcsuck!

Oh yay! Kate Winslet won! Oh I like her. Haven't seen the movie but I like her.

Ayait. Over and out.
