Bringing Sexy Back....

I vowed that I would never become that frumpy pregnant lady that wore oversized clothing too early, cut my hair so short it looked like I had just joined the military or give up my stilletos. I have kept those 3 things of my promise so far, but let me tell you....my new sweat bands (also called Sea Bands) that make me look like a skater boy, the several shades of green that my skin goes through each nauseous phase or new little pooch that is beginning to protrude from my belly - these are not what I call sexy. Nevermind the ugly "sleeping bra" I have to wear to bed at night - all of this keeps me wondering why Blaine hasn't been traveling non-stop. I think I might be saying, "Hasta La Vista, baby - see you after the first trimester!"

Believe me when I say that every woman even thinking of becoming pregnant should be handed a handbook that reads something like this:

WARNING - As soon as you find out you are pregnant, you may become nauseous. And that feeling may linger for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week until the end of time (or so it seems.) You will begin to gain weight - but not in that cute pregnant lady sort of way that you had hoped for and just knew you would be. You just become pudgy all over making it hard for anyone to know that you are pregnant rather you have just put on an extra winter weight. You will quit loving the foods you once loved and begin craving foods you haven't even heard of. You may wake one day with the most horrendous taste in you mouth making you think that you spend the last several hours chewing on the change in your purse. You will at all cost seek rememdies for all of the above.

I have tried all of the rumored remedies so far: for nausea - DHA, Preggo Pops, sucking on hard candy, Dramamine, B-6 vitamins, avoiding spicy foods, sipping Sprite and 7-Up, apple juice and Perrier water, the list is never ending. I am now on to my sexy new skater boy sweat bands...I mean Sea Bands. I am definitely bringing sexy back now.

As for Blaine...otherwise known as Daddy Daycare this week - he has been a jewel. Not only is he calling overpriced daycares (since there are 1-3 year waiting lists here in this town), making constant runs to the grocery store when I need the lastest remedy for nausea and more importantly staying the heck out of my way when I need him to, he is keeping me laughing which is important too. He even threw in a "you look thinner in the face" comment yesterday. Now that's a keeper!

So I guess if I am not bringing sexy back (like pop star Justin Timberlake referred to in 2006) maybe I am beginning to bring sexy to my backside. **cough cough...oh so doubtful.
