This weekend I had two meltdowns. The first of which began Saturday morning while Hays was gone to play golf. I got up and got dressed to go and buy some pants for work. It was hot out, so I wanted to wear jeans and a short sleeved shirt. Well, after trying on some shirts from last spring that I was sure I could wear this early in the pregnancy, I realized that I am bigger EVERYWHERE. So my cute shirts no longer looked cute, just too small. I started to feel so GROSS. Now I know it's healthy to get bigger and I am okay with that, I just wasn't prepared to face it this early. SO, not only did I buy some more pants, but I got some cute maternity shirts, too. It made me feel a lot better to have clothes that I can actually feel comfortable in! Hays wasn't too excited about me spending a little extra money, but I told him when his body changes this much he could spend all the money he wants on clothes. He seemed to agree with me then.
Meltdown number 2 began on Sunday when we got home from Sunday lunch. I decided that it would be necessary to completely clean our house because it hadn't been cleaned in about a month and we won't be able to clean next weekend. It seemed like everywhere I looked, all I could see was dust or dog hair. And Daisy smelled RIPE. And the carpet had these "mystery droplings" on it that needed to come up. SO, what I thought would be an hour of cleaning turned into about 4 hours of cleaning, with Hays cleaning also. I talked to a friend on Saturday who said she was cleaning her baseboards. I think she is in the "nesting" phase of her pregnancy. This made me look at my baseboards, which I realized were disgusting! Hays was not happy however, when I asked him to clean them. I would have done it myself, but I was in the process of scraping week-old burnt on gunk from the smooth top stove. He did agree with how dirty they were, though. We got a lot of cleaning done, but not without lots of obsessing and nagging on my part. I had to clean the bathtub twice because it just didn't look clean enough! I had Hays move the shower curtain rod up a few inches, and in the process the paint came off the wall in those places. So THEN I have to break out the "Waterfall Mist" paint and paint the bare spots on the wall. I am lucky to have a husband that puts up with me! He even vaccuumed the furniture, the stairs, and steam-cleaned the "mystery droplings!"
I wrecked my back in the process of all the kneeling and scrubbing, which caused the mini-crying spell I had later. Oh, the JOY of pregnancy hormones.
To satisfy those who I love, who read the blog and actually comment, I will put up a belly pic as soon as I can remember to get Hazer to take one!

Hey! I tried to vote on your mountain dew pole, but it's not working. I think it's a great idea- you don't want to run the risk of your baby sleeping when you are trying to find out the sex! I've also heard the drink a ton of water the day you are getting your ultrasound.
Can't wait to hear what you are having.
Hey Meredith! Yes, drinking Mtn Dew can help during your u/s, and so can loud noises to make him/her jump or shift around a little. They will be looking for a "hamburger" (girl) or a "turtle" (boy). :) Good for you for getting some new clothes! They will definitely make you feel better and cuter. You did very well making it this far ~ I was out of most pants and many tops (thanks to increased boobage)by 10 weeks the first time and 8 the second. Kudos to you, mama! :)
NOw that is my kind of cleaning!! Waterfall mist sounds pretty. We will need you to take the belly pic in front of the water fall mist paint!
I´m not sure who mallory is, but maybe she needs to vote on your mountain dew poll instead of mountain dew pole. It might work then.
Belly pic? Eeewwww!!! Just kidding.
