Snippits
So much to post - so little energy.
This morning as I desperately searched for the peppermint oil between fits of intense nausea, I panicked thinking I’m not ready to be pregnant. The panic & nausea have both subsided but have since been replaced with sickeningly large amounts of gratitude. The exhaustion is also more powerful than I remembered. I’ve actually fallen accidentally into naps - a hazard not only while driving (I hear) but also while parenting. Thank goodness people were around when I fell unexpectedly into sleep. Today, I think it’s a boy.
We went to our first toddler storytime at one of the local libraries yesterday - can’t say that’s something I’ll look forward to doing again anytime soon. Other people’s kids freak me out. I don’t know what it is but I had to keep my attention averted from the ones with too much snot, too much hair and eyes too wide. Kids are just so darn weird looking. I hope for the new one’s sake, I’ll either suddenly be ugly-blind or more preferably, won’t have the need to be. I wonder how the lives of people who think they were ugly children differ from people who think they weren’t.
My brother’s visit was great - we had a lot of really good talks and while we didn’t see all the things I thought we would, the time together was quality. The weather was perfection and reminded me just how much I love living in Arizona. Some pics to come.
I’m currently unable to stop thinking about the nature of (personal) satisfaction.
