Random Thoughts and Observations
- I am extremely easily annoyed these days. It doesn't take much to get under my skin which makes me an unpleasant person to be around. Knowing this, I've been keeping to myself a lot so I don't just completely go off on someone.
- I am also more emotional. I almost cried in a meeting this week when one of the PMs welcomed me back to the office and commented that I looked thrilled to be there. The comment didn't bother me because it was true. It just re-emphasized how much I want to be home with Jackson. And then I did it again the next day driving to work just because I really didn't want to go.
- The daycare situation is really stressing me out. We have just over 2 weeks to find someone to watch Jackson while Chris and I are at work since our perfect in-home daycare fell through last week. I am really not happy about this. I never wanted to put my kids in daycare but I have no other options. Nor do I have any idea how we are going to pay for this.
- My feet still don't look like my feet. I guess I got used to how they looked swollen and puffy. Now they look so skinny and long and like they belong on someone else's body.
- I've lost all my pregnancy weight plus about 10 pounds which should be great but it isn't. While my old clothes fit, they aren't comfortable because I am flabby and everything has shifted so nothing fits right.
- I have one pair of jeans out of about 5 that fit me properly. So I decided to order a couple of more pairs of the same style. Wouldn't you know, Lee no longer makes the style I like so I can't find any to purchase.
- Is it ever going to cool off in Austin, Texas? The first day of fall was last week and we celebrated by having a high of 104 on Monday. We are well over 80 days of triple digit temperatures for the year. I am ready for it to drop below 90 for a few days and to get some rain.
- Explain to me how 1 gas station out of 5 in a half mile radius can charge $0.50 more than all the others and still have business. Two of the stations were $3.27 and 2 were $3.29 but the last one was $3.71. How does that happen?
- Somehow I have become a mommy blogger. That wasn't intentional but, since I write about myself and my life, I guess it was bound to happen when I got pregnant.
- I still hurt quite a bit more than I expected to at this point. I pretty much always feel a slight throb around my incision and, at least once a day, I will get a sharp, stabbing pain in that general area. It's been 2 months. Is this normal?
- I am attending The Bathering in a few weeks and I am excited and terrified at the same time. A lot of the bloggers attending have "known" each other for ages and I am so of the new kid on the block. And, yes, I am that person who wants to be cool and well liked but I know in reality that I am not cool so all my anxiety is coming out over this one. It is being held here in Austin so that is great but I am also afraid of missing out on a lot of the fun because I won't be staying in the hotel with the other ladies.
- I think I have rambled just about as much as I can ramble on one post for today. Just had to pass on some of the thoughts floating around in my head.
Comments
As far as your c-section still hurting, none of mine have still had pain after 6 weeks or so. But everybody's different. I still have some numbness, but I have been cut in the same place 3 times, so that's to be expected.
Gina - I am glad to know that my crazy emotions are normal. That makes me feel better.
As for the section pain, I think that's normal. I had one in January, and I definitely still have twinges and pull-y feelings even now. I'm starting to think it may be adhesions?
