I AM A
HORMONAL WRECKING BALL AND KITTENS AND LOUD NOISES MAKE ME CRY!
Week of
Pregnancy: 12 *YAY* Nearly finished First Trimester!
Fruit to
Fetus Comparison: Large Plum
Cravings: Darrell
Lea Red Licorice... but this used to be a craving before I got knocked up....
Aversions: NOT
MEAT! YAY! Capsicum/onion/spices – Uber heartburn.
Husband’s
excitement metre: Close to Nil, but his sympathy metre is nearing
the top about my fatness and incompetence at keeping my tear ducts in check.
So, last week my nausea stopped, which is great (see previous post for
freak out on that), but heartburn and bloating has increased which sucks.
Gained a kilo then lost a kilo (WTF? Not complaining though...) and have been
eating horribly (Fish & Chips, Subway, red licorice – up to half a packet a
night – and cakes, courtesy of my amazing staffroom) But eating horribly comes
with the territory of Reporting/Marking weeks at school unfortunately.
This week has been hectic – our entire art room (and staff room) had to
be cleared as we’re getting a new floor and the walls are getting painted,
reports had to be done by Wednesday, Trying to hand stuff out to kids, but half
of them took the week off (lucky bludgers!) and then, of course, our house looks
like a bomb site and our kitchen smells like a dump. I feel like a disgusting
human being right now, and a horrible home-person, but it’s kind of a given
when you have very little time. Also, kind of craving a glass of Moscato; my inner alcoholic is getting the shakes. Instead, have been demoted to designated driver.
In amongst this I had a doc appointment (DISASTER – more on that later),
a blood test, and frantically rang around trying to get a booking for an
ultrasound on Monday and Tuesday of next week (FAIL! Ended up calling in a
favour!) If there’s one thing I’m already regretting, it’s deciding to go to an
Obstetrician who lives on the Sunshine Coast, when we live six hours away in
Biloela. Smarty-pants me thought this would be fine, as surely we wouldn’t have to go down
too often. Neglected to think about where we would stay (with my lovely brother
in uni-housing? Nuuuuu thank-you, or with my parents... no, wait, theyve’ sold
their house and jet-setted to Scotland. Good for them!) so our lovely family
friend offered us a room!
So, down to the nitty gritty – What is the general consensus of Week
11/12?
I AM A HORMONAL WRECKING BALL!!!! (as stated in title)
"How did this come to be," you ask, “You’re such a stable, normal, person”
Lol, Jks, I'm a psycho.
So, what has made me more of a psycho than usual? I shall tell you: freaking progesterone. SCREW YOU PROGESTERONE!
So, on Sunday, Justin told me a sad (but uplifting) story about a lady
who went through a bad trauma, something I normally would feel sympathy to, but
have the rationality to brush it aside as a tragic accident. Not today. Not if
Progesterone has anything to say about it.
Justin: (tells story)... but she’s fine now and has a whole new life.
Me: ... THAT”S SO SAD! *Wails with loud heaving sobs into the pillow*
Justin: Wtf?! I said she's fine now!
Me: BUT WHAT IF THAT HAPPENED TO YOOOOOOOOOOOU!!!?!?! YOU”RE NEVER ALLOWED
TO GO AROUND GAS PIPES OR ELECTRICAL LINES!
Justin: (pats shoulder) Okay....
Me: OR WHAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO EWAN(brother) I WOULD SO BE RIGHT DOWN THERE ALL THE TIME!! HOW CAN
THEY NOT EVEN VISIT!!! *wails louder*
Justin: Nothing’s going to happen to Ewan.
ME: And... And... AND I MISS MY MUM!!! *Wails*
(Just for
the record – my mum is safe, healthy and happy – but currently in Scotland
visiting family.)
ME: AND I”M GETTING FAAAAAAATTTTER!!!!!
Justin: (Unable to keep it in any
longer and laughs) Ohhh boy, this is hilarious.
ME: (Semi crying semi laughing and
sounding like a crazy person) I KNOW!!!!!!!! I... Can’t... Stooooopppp...
CRYING!
This continued for about an hour. Then I got a headache because of the
crying and felt worse. Then I had a long nap.
Sunday complete.
Skip to Tuesday Night. I am browsing the internet, procrastinating doing
my reporting, and someone posts on Facebook a link entitled ’21 pictures that
will restore your faith in humanity.’ Check out the horrifying cuteness here:
Me: Oh, Hey, this will be nice and happy and cheer me up. Doobee doobee doo...
First picture is of Christian people apologising for bigotry against gay people. Eyes well up.
Me: That’s so NIIIICE!! People are so NIIIICE! I love people! *crying*
Picture is of two guys rescuing a sheep from the ocean. Almost have to be rescued from my own ocean of tears like a horrible emo.
Me: AWW! They risked their lives for a SHEEP! Humanity is AMAZING!!
Come across pictures of guy rescuing kittens from a flood - flood of tears continues. Then picture is of a fire fighter rescuing a dog from a fire. Crying
gets louder and wetter.
Me: That poor dog!!! I hope he’s okay!!! *wail*
And so on and so forth until all 21 pictures are complete. Crying then refuses to cease for another 30 minutes as I attempt to regain my dignity.
So, to answer
the question I’m sure you’re all wondering – am I more overly sensitive, or is
my crying-trigger on edge. Answer: Both. Probably. However, I can totally tell
I’m being an irrational idiot, thus making it worse, as I irrationally cry about being an irrational idiot.
Tune in next week for more stories of Rhona the irrational crying
buffoon (complete with pot-belly - watch her cry about getting fat!)
Peace
(PS: Also - totally share those pictures! They are so lovely! I hope you enjoy them!)
