randomness

M came in this morning to suggest that I go in to work a few hours late because I'd been tossing and turning all night long. I dragged myself out of bed anyway and headed to work. I looked in the mirror and complained about how I looked like crap, but the boyo assured me that I looked perfectly fine, perhaps a little tired. And then I met my former boss/current boss-on-paper (it's complicated) as I was walking inside, and he looks over and laughs at me. "You look miserable!" he said. Oh, well. It was sweet of M to try lying to me. We're going to change our bed around a bit tonight and hope that I can get a little more sleep. For one thing, we're bringing the fan upstairs, since I am too hot, and taking some covers off the bed. That makes me sad because I love curling up under the covers. It probably makes M happy because he has just tolerated my heavy bedding needs previously.

I received the rest of my diapers today and I have my prefolds in the washer. They need washed/dried a bunch of times before they're absorbent (a quality I very much want in a diaper!) so I guess that will be a week-long project. I intended to boil them (to decrease the number of washings) but I lost my patience. I somehow managed to put every single fun diaper in the shipment that I received last, so I was pretty excited to open up the bag. You know how cute they are? They are so cute that I hold them up and M goes "AWWW!" You know it's extreme cuteness when a man squeals in delight at a diaper.

My ankles have been swollen for a week or two now, and I can't stop looking at them in morbid fascination. I have never, ever had fat legs. I actually have shapely calves that do not exactly fit the rest of my body. I would say that it is too bad M is not a leg man except that the asset he is most interested in is supplied in even more abundance. I don't know if I can blame this on pregnancy but I had a loosening of the tongue this weekend and made several very inappropriate comments to my mom and my cousin regarding quite racy topics. That wouldn't have been too surprising had M not been sitting right there blushing like a little girl. Must work on restraint on these matters.

I'd like to talk about non-pregnancy items, too, but it's pretty hard to think of much else than the fact that I am incubating a small person at this stage, since she seems to enjoy reminding me at every opportunity. Maybe someday soon I will think of something unrelated to gestation. Or not. In any case, one of my parents is on the phone now talking to M (I'm guessing Dad) and I will need to answer the phone here in a minute, and then I'm off to bed, so I have to wrap this up faster than I planned. Toodles.

i hope you get some sleep tonight - i tossed and turned all night, too. silly heat wave in the middle of march. feels more like june or july.

:) (& i don't think that you can talk about ducky enough. really, this is a big, big thing that is happening/will happen and just think - one day you can show her what you wrote while pregnant with her!)

I did sleep MUCH better last night. We've had the a/c on for days now, and we set it quite low at night, though it just wasn't enough for me, apparently. Isn't the weather lovely? Soo much better than snow and wind and rain, although they do keep promising rain that never materializes.
