I'm starting this off from a bad mood, so you've been warned. I'm sitting here, just after 11 a.m., sipping on a warm chai because I couldn't manage to make it through today without caffeine. I didn't want to make a chai. It's been hot this week and we don't have our air conditioner in yet, so I try not to cook or run any heat producing appliances until after the high heat of the day has passed in order to keep the house bearable. I also don't like drinking hot beverages because it warms my core, and my pregnant body is at the point where it doesn't need its core warmed, but I didn't have anything else in the house with caffeine in it, and iced chais are just gross. I'm tired because for I didn't sleep well due to the normal pregnancy related issues coupled with my families' feeling of entitlement to wake me up! Yes, in addition to my bladder waking me up, I was awakened, often intentionally, by my family at least 4 times last night. So at this time I would like to make a public service announcement to all people who live with a pregnant lady (sarcasm intended):
WAKING A PREGNANT LADY UP, ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE IS IN DEEP SLEEP, MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH. IF YOU MUST ENTER THE ROOM OF A SLEEPING PREGNANT LADY, DO SO WITH EXTREME CAUTION, MAKING NO NOISE. DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES (even if she fell asleep on your side of the bed) ATTEMPT TO WAKE HER UP.
Chai. Ice water. Chai. Ice water. Chai. Ice Water.
This has given me an idea! Post comments and we'll co-write an e-book entitled "Living with a pregnant a woman: 100 things you shouldn't say and do." After we get enough suggestions, we'll have present and past pregnant ladies vote on which one's should make the book. NYT Best Seller List, here we come!
never, ever eat her secret stash of dark chocolate. or the half of a cookie she was saving for later.
ReplyDeleteadditionally, never send a five year old over to tickle her feet, because she probably has to pee. and that is just mean.
