Dr. Jekyll and Mrs. Hyde, I Presume


One of the pregnancy books I have says something about how I "may begin to feel slightly emotional and that shifting hormones are the likely culprit." All I can say is that HAD to have been written by a man because I don't think that any woman who has ever been pregnant can relate to the phrase "slightly emotional".

That sentence should have read: "At this time in your pregnancy, you will feel like your emotions have jumped not only on a rollercoaster, but also onto the Whirl-About right after you've had chili cheese fries, a huge helping of funnel cake and an extra big icee. You may also notice that certain things make you cry; for instance, when the temperature changes, Hallmark commercials, or if your cat walks by you and doesn't want to be petted...." Why don't any pregnancy books say that??!!

Actually, I'm not quite that bad. Thankfully I do exaggerate slightly, but not by much. I'm helping a very good friend of mine create a wedding video for a very good friend of hers. I want to find the perfect songs and have started quite the internet search for them. Yep, they all make me cry.

As usual, Ryan is very patient with and supportive of my moods. Or I guess I should say of my "mood swings". I'm not sure I have a very constant mood at all! I'm getting tons of hugs and attention and that always is a good thing. (But the PGA tour is on this weekend, so his attention may be somewhat diverted for the next couple of days.)

But on the upside, La Bean is now the size of a fist and getting bigger everyday. I've had to drag out all my maternity clothes that I had just put away not too long ago. I'm back to living in my "Ellie May" short overalls. Now if I could just get my hair to go in pigtails...
