I have barely gotten out of bed this weekend. My doctor’s recommendation of taking Dramamine for my evening nausea has worked for me…also, just eating less has made me feel a lot better. It has also made me lose five pounds! Maybe I won’t take the record for weight gain in a pregnancy after all. Hopefully I won’t have to fill the prescription for the real nausea medication my doctor wrote me…still debating whether or not to fill the vicodin he prescribed for my tendonitis (which, he thinks is also the culprit of the pain in my foot). I can’t exactly take it during the day, which is when I need it the most. I might just tough it out until august when I can take ibuprofen again. I am also going to be seeing a podiatrist soon, so I want to see what he has to say about my foot. I am sure it will be something along the lines of “Your foot is hurt and you are pregnant so we can’t do anything for you. Sorry!”  

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this weather. I know it is crappy and rainy and I am sure everyone is so sad that the weather isn’t nice for the holiday weekend (wah), but you know what? If I can’t have fun, no one else should be able to either. It also makes sleeping all day easier when it is dark and rainy out. I love it!

And finally: I posted this a couple years ago on my myspace blog and thought I would repost it to see if anyone new wanted to do it. I think it is kind of interesting.

Coming soon: details of Alexia’s First Blood Draw (I survived!), plus: how much ice cream can one person eat? An experiment.

I don’t remember a ton about it, but I watched it everyday, and watching this video of the theme song still makes me a little anxious and excited, because I loved it SO much. I was traumatized by the way they ended the show–they bulldozed the mall where the mannequins lived. I don’t remember the fate of the mannequins though. I hope they made it out safely…

It is supposed to fairly accurately predict the sex of your baby. (see the complete calendar here: http://mothering.com/interactive/chinesecalendar/genderpredictor.html or here: http://www.thelaboroflove.com/chart/cal.html)

You may notice that according to this calendar, I am having a boy. I tested it on six people whose information I knew, and it was right four times and wrong twice. If anyone wants to test it on themselves or their moms to see if it’s right, please let me know the results. I only have two weeks left until I found out and I am starting to worry that the two items of baby girl clothing I bought might have jinxed me…
