honey & lemon - 03:01 PM
(filed under 'general')
i hope there really is something useful in the traditional hot honey & lemon drink, because it tastes awful! it's kind of clearing my nose a bit .. maybe ..
blah - 11:54 AM

ergh. i feel so blah with this cold. we have prenatal classes on tonight, so i think i might make sure to have a sleep today (maybe now, actually) so that i don't end up overtired & fidgety & cranky before it's even 8pm as happened last week.
more woes - 07:44 AM
(filed under 'baby')
just to add to my woes, the common pregnancy symptom of crampy calf muscles was triggered nicely when i woke with a start this morning from mcgarnicle jumping up at the side of the bed. my right calf muscle cramped up in such a big way that i was immediately awake, saying, "ow! ow! ow! ow! ow! ow!" i woke up poor shroom with my flailing & ow'ing who i think might have thought i was going into labour since he grabbed at my belly & began to rub it, until i threw my leg at him & he quickly massaged the cramp away.
it's still a bit sore now. as if i could get back to sleep after that .. now i have to kind of limp on it. i gave it a rub with some natural relaxing type oils but i think i might have to stretch it out a bit. i'm nervous about doing that in case it cramps up again, though.
i'm dirty at mcgarnicle now because i blame him. he then had the gall to not actually want to go outside when i got up to open the door for him, but about one minute later when i sat down he started whining to go out again! then he starts barking at the neighbourhood & making a nuisance of himself!
naughty dog. 
damn cold.
i think i had such a good weekend that i'm now suffering from a 'happiness hangover'.

when will i learn?
just the other day i was saying to shroom that the baby hadn't had the hiccups yet. about a day later the baby had the hiccups, then about three times the following day.
when i was a kid, my sister & i said to each other when we were squatting in the grass on a side road on the way down the mountain from a ski trip because we had to pee & we saw a long line of motorbikes coming along the main road, "woudn't it be funny if they came up this road?" & they did & we had to rush to pull our pants back up.
again, years ago in a craft store, looking at a tiny bottle of miniscule beads, "wouldn't it be funny if we accidentally dropped these?" & the next second they're all over the floor tinkling away merrily under counters & shelves.
i was just telling my sister, & later, shroom, about how i've done so well to not get a cold the whole time while i've been pregnant, since there's not much that you can take to ease the symptoms which isn't harmful to the baby ..
.. cue the runny nose, blocked up head & terrible sleep last night. grrrrr.
