I might be pathetic
The theme of this weekend was "Maternity Jeans". You might be thinking, "Chelsea, you're only 8 weeks pregnant. You shouldn't be showing yet!" And then I'd tell you to shut up. All my pants fit except my jeans. I've been using my tummy sleeve from the last pregnancy, and while it works, it's really not a permanent solution. So I thought, I'm pregnant! Pregnant women are allowed to wear maternity jeans! So John said we could go to the MOA and try some on. Me try them on, not him. Surely I can find a simple pair of jeans in one of the largest malls in the world! No. I did drink 2 pints of milk from the Tollhouse place though, and I hate milk. Anyway, we went to Old Navy and they had some I liked, but they didn't have them in the right length. We checked out Motherhood Maternity but I didn't like anything. Plus, that place is like shopping at TJ Maxx. I hate places like that. All the other maternity stores sell super-expensive stuff. Like $80 jeans. How can we afford a baby if I buy $80 jeans? So this morning we went to a different Old Navy. It turns out that only a very few Old Navys have a maternity section. I just thought that they all had them because I always go to the MOA. We had to drive up to St. Cloud for a family lunch and we got there early. I wasn't optimistic but we stopped at a Target to see what they had for jeans. I found an awesome pair that are so comfortable! Seriously, you have no idea how comfortable maternity jeans are. Especially when you haven't been able to button your normal jeans for 3 weeks. So the bottom line is that we drove accross 3 counties to find me jeans that I could have gotten at the SuperTarget by our house. Crazy.
In morning sickness news, I've been feeling better. I'm taking vitamin B6 and Unisom before bedtime, which taken together are a anti-nausea medication. The only thing that sucks is that it makes me sleep for like 12 hours. So when I have to get up after 9 or 10 hours to go to work, I still feel pretty crappy. Usually I feel better after lunch. On the weekends though, when I sleep as much as I want, I feel pretty great. I'm going to finish this box of Unisom and then see how I do without it. I'd really rather not be taking drugs like that right now. It's safe, but I just feel overly cautious. I'd be cautious about taking Unisom even if I weren't pregnant and now I'm taking it every night.
