Completely Random

On Sunday, being Father's Day, M and I went out on a date night. That's two! Since we are movie addicts, our date nights more often than not revolve around what's playing at the theatre. We went to see Green Lantern. Overall? Meh. I'm a Ryan Reynolds fan, and he was great, funny, hot, everything that you expect. I'm not a fan of Blake Lively, so she was just annoying. It was a good movie, but M and I both liked Thor much better.

Speaking of M, he walked by the other day while I was looking at this blog and he wondered at my sanity in posting pictures of my foot. He just didn't get why that would rate as something to blog about. Here's the thing. As my friend E pointed out this morning, I'm making sure that all those moms out there who remember how "great" it was to be preggers also get reminded about the not-so-magical bits! If you're thinking about doing it again, I believe in the eyes-wide-open concept!

Any boys reading this blog need not read the next paragraph. It'll just make you uncomfortable.

Not-so-magical bits? Well, I've mentioned my feet are swelling, and I do have three months to go. Hair grows at an annoyingly fast rate, and shaving is no longer a priority, some days it's not even possible. Hooray summer. My brain no longer functions at full capacity. Sleeping is hit and miss. Sometimes I wake up thinking I'm going to puke because of heartburn. Common illnesses have also been different. Instead of getting a chest cold or whatever, my neck hurts major when I'm feeling under the weather. Colostrum. Yes. 3 months to go. My emotional meter is on yellow alert ALL THE TIME. At least 15% of my brain is constantly terrified about one thing or another. My body is slower at doing stuff like walking, sitting, getting up, getting dressed.

But don't misunderstand me. It is magical. Looking at X now, thinking he was where the twins are now 6 years ago is pretty staggering. Feeling and seeing movement that I am totally not in control of is pretty magical. Knowing that there are 2 little people in my belly is crazy awesome. Picking out names is hilarious. Collecting tiny shoes is wicked. Hearing X talk about when the babies come makes me feel fabulous. It all comes out totally in favour of having babies by the way. :)
