Things I Have Cried About While Pregnant

I'm terribly sorry I didn't get out a blog post last week, but just as a quick update: everything is going "disgustingly normal" according to my OB-GYN, I'm tired all the time and the baby has taken to placing her feet underneath my ribcage, where I know they definitely DO NOT belong. Two more months left! 

 So I don't know if all of you have seen that Facebook post going around where a husband has written down a list of things that his wife cries about, and it's cute and kind of funny ("She remembered dogs exist") or those listicles of "Reasons My Toddler Is Crying," but this is continuing in the same gist and feelings. I cry basically always even when I'm not pregnant, so this should be fun.

Note: I also had my husband look at this list to see if I'd forgotten something I'd cried over, and he got into it and even wrote down some comments about them, which I will be including.

Without further ado: Things I Have Cried About While Pregnant

1) British imperialism

2) Morning sickness
  • (Husband comment: So much vomit.)
3) We have no money



4) It was hot

5) I sat in a rocking chair

  • (Husband comment: imitating me, "I LOVE THIS CHAIR BUT BABY")

6) I woke up hungry at 3 in the morning

  • (Husband comment: I brought you a banana and water and you felt better. I did not.)



7) I was doing dishes with hot water

  • (Husband comment: It didn't help that it was also 90 degrees outside.)

8) Hamilton (featuring: Dear Theodosia, Eliza Hamilton Deserved Better, and Why Did Philip Have To Die)



9) I left my husband to go on a trip

  • (Husband comment: you mean, "I'm going on a trip soon and I already miss you")

10) While on the trip, basically anytime I got overtired and remembered Isaiah wasn't with me

11) I came back from my trip and finally saw my husband

12) The baby wouldn't stop kicking me

  • (Husband comment: OR YOUR HUSBAND)


13) We Have Money

  • (Husband comment: no we didn't)

13) I had to ask my husband to help me with housework I couldn't do by myself anymore

14) Someone came over and helped me with housework

15) I listened to "Away in a Manger" with my mother-in-law at Christmastime

16) That episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation where Data creates Lal



17) Isaiah assembled a crib and I looked at it

Week 24: Nesting Mother Awaits the Return of Bucky Barnes

Image
So, this past week has mostly been pretty chill. Nothing major happened (at least not that I can currently recall) and baby girl has been continuing to do just fine - the normal circumstances of kicking/punching/parkouring inside of me are continuing. You can actually, if you're lucky and paying attention, see the movement when she gets me particularly well. As is common in the second trimester, nesting has started, spurred on by the generous donations of several friends. Mostly it just involves me wiping furniture clean and making pretty little piles of clothes and other baby things until Isaiah and I get rid of/move all of the other stuff that we'd put in the baby's room. But, as slow as progress goes, it is going, and there's no rush for the baby to get here. look, it's me and baby standing next to a crib! We've been very blessed to have generous friends and family who are willing to help us prepare for our baby's arrival. It's given us a l...

Dancing Man

So, in the course of my daily activities, I spend about four hours of my day on The Bus commuting to and from town (for those of you not familiar with Hawaii vernacular, The Bus is the major, surprisingly efficient mass transit system that goes through most of the island. Town is Honolulu.) Now, I spend a lot of time on the bus. I see a lot of different people. But the other day, one man in particular caught my eye. He wasn't doing anything with any of the other passengers, but he was sitting off in a corner, headphones covering his head, and when he tilted his phone screen I could see that a music video was playing on his phone. But none of those are markedly different from many of the other Bus passengers. No, what made this man different and caught my eye was the fact that this man was dancing . Picture it now. A tall man, with a square jaw and hooked nose, long brown curly hair caught in a ponytail at the nape of his neck. He had bushy eyebrows and his skin was a gol...
