1. It's raining outside. I mean, really raining. I'm a rain glutton. I can't get enough. During lunch I sat out in my car and listened to it pounding on the roof of my car and counted in Mississippis (this word just caused a major discussion in my office - how do you pluralize Mississippi?) to see how far away the storm is. I rubbed my tummy and talked to my baby girl about it. I hope she likes rain. I hope she will sit with me and watch it stream down the windows.
2. While I was listening to the rain, I was also eating a root beer float for lunch. Mostly because that's the only thing that sounded good.
3. I think I've abated the major sickness that's going around the office. I've been running a fever almost all week and started in with what I was sure was going to become pneumonia. Turns out I just have crackly lungs.
4. I was just thinking about that movie, Under the Tuscan Sun. If you haven't seen it, you haven't missed much in the acting department, but you've missed a lot in the scenery department. Good grief, it was that movie that made me want to move to Positano. Anyway, the movie is about this recently divorced woman who buys an Italian villa on a whim and then stays there feeling sorry for herself because she has no man. My friend, Melissa Kenney said it best when she said, "Well, I couldn't feel too sorry for her because she lives in an Italian villa, for heaven sake!"
5. My massage test is two weeks from today. I'm scared. The only motivation I have right now is that if I fail, I can't afford to take it again!
6. Why is it that my pregnant tummy is really hard at the top, just in the middle of my ribs and really loose at the bottom where the actual baby is?
7. For Valentine's Day, I bought Leonard The Fish some grass for his fishbowl. I thought it was all nice and pretty until the other day when I walked in the house to find Leonard The Fish stuck in it.
8. While I was buying Leonard The Fish his grass, there was a lady from one of the local animal rescue organizations there at Petco with two cats. One was orange and white and fluffy. I wanted him so bad. When the lady told me that if he wasn't adopted out within two weeks, they would have to put him down, I started to sob. She looked at me like I was nuts until I said, "I'm sorry, I'm pregnant." Then she shook her head and said, "Baby girl, I understand." I love how pregnancy is an excuse for pretty much anything.
9. Has anyone else ever felt like the things that hold their eyes in their head are going to snap in half and your eyeballs are going to fall out on the ground? What is that condition called? And why does it take so long for it to go away?
10. I sure do love Husband.

I made it to the blog!!! Hooray!!! It really is true though. That story line of that movie was dumb.
My friend just said the same thing about her pregnant belly... but she explained it to me. She was carrying an extra 20 pounds before her pregnancy so what has happened is as the baby/uterus is growing, it is pushing all her soft bits down lower to pad the bottom. She said it is making her look way more pregnant than she is :) because her pregnant belly is redistributing her belly fat. She even made me poke it when I told her I didn't believe her. And it was true- sure hard up on top, medium in the middle, and softer down farther.
I guess one more thing for us "never been pregnant before" ladies to look forward to.
