Monday, Oct. 23, 2006 - 2:22 p.m. Fecundity is Beautiful OK, OK, OK!! Damn Roxy, keep yer
shorts on!!! OK, what is going on here that is worthy
of posting? Um, well, last night and this morning I felt as if both of my
legs were going to pop out of my hips. This is not because of the walking
around I did yesterday, chasing after the Travinator, or running to see his
grandmother put him on a pony for a ride only to get there AFTER he had
finished, or running along the track behind the list to get to the dais for the
post fireworks farewell song because the fireworks were 15 minutes earlier last
night and no one told us. No, it is one of the MANY miracles of pregnancy
and childbirth, in that your hips start to spread at a certain point during
gestation in order to make room for the baby noggin and body to make way out the
Southerly route during delivery. To that end, my hips loosened up sometime
during my first trimester, and it was literally an overnight thing. This
is there the sleeping with a pillow between your legs becomes important because
it keeps your top let propped up so as to not irritate the hip joint.
Also, each faire day, I drive up in the morning and home in the evening, and the
hour I spend in the car makes for uncomfy and sore hips in the interim. This morning I had to go for my one hour
glucose tolerance/gestational diabetes test. So I sat in the lab's waiting
room, feeling like I had sciatica, except on the side and upper part of my left
leg, having just drank a bottle of orange flavored carbonated sugar on an empty
stomach as this test requires fasting. I swear to God I shall be MOST put
out if the results come back saying I have "failed" this test and I
have to go back and do the three hour test, only for it to tell me that I indeed
do NOT have gestational diabetes. I got a heat/sweat rash underneath my left
boob on Saturday from sweat and my bra's under wire that rubbed me the wrong
way. It was muy itchy and red yesterday morning, but I slathered it with
Benedryl cream and it cleared up. Grilled cheese sammiches are da bomb when
they are prepared correctly. I need to go to the grocery for a few
items, and as I am very tired because I cannot get a decent night's sleep
anymore, I have no energy to do so, but KNOW I need to do it today, because I
won't have a chance to go until Friday because of School Days. I get to
teach some dances to the kids! I am REALLY looking forward to that.
I know one of my girlfriends who teaches "Special Needs" students will
be there tomorrow. I don't know exactly when or where I will be doing
this, but I DO know I will be teaching Highland Welcome. And yes, in case you have heard the rumor,
I will be playing Katherine of Aragon come Highland Fling weekend as Rosella has
to go to Australia on a business trip that weekend. I am really REALLY
looking forward to it and Greg is already scheming as to how we can work in
having a pregnant queen. It looks as though her dress should fit me,
albeit a tad awkwardly. And I am just hoping that the weather holds out
and its not too warm that weekend. I will be uncomfy enough in my advanced
state of fecundity (*DING* Bonus points for use of big word - Thank you Jen
Ellis for enriching my vocabulary each and every day) and will appreciate the
gods working with me to maintain some semblance of comfort. 'Tis
all for now. I hope that I have provided non-boring nuggets of reading for
your amusement. Song
