Let's hear it for those hormones! woo hoo

I wish I didn't puke daily, I wish I could eat better (due to the fact of my first wish), I wish I wouldnt have gained road rage and cry at random songs or commercials, I wish I wasn't so tired all the time, I wish I wasn't so impatient with everything, I wish I could sleep for more than 4 hours w/o having to get up and pee, I wish there were better clothes that were actually comfortable without looking like sweat pants, and I wish people would stop touching my Buddha belly. My Aunt Nancy gave me some great advice, she told me to rub there belly right back. So I'm gonna and the next person that I don't want to touch me- I'm gonna rub the flab on there belly for as long as they rubbed mine. I think this may be the best idea I've heard yet. Thanks Aunt Nancy. They think its like a magnet that forces them grab and rub. One person I know actually gets behind me and wraps her arms around me to feel my belly. WTF is that?! I cant believe I didn't knock her out. And I'm not talking about my family or a friend that hasn't seen me in a while, I'm talking about people I see almost daily. Holy crap and the comments I get, lets see, I've heard "you know your face doesn't look as fat as it did with the boys." or "geez (pointing to my belly) your gonna need to work out" I also like "your so big for only being 6 months into it" another favorite "are there twins in that belly?"
Yes people, I have directly heard all of these lame ass comments.
And I don't have a face anymore. Everyone looks directly at my gut. I think I might start drawing faces on it and let them actually talk to the belly that has taken on it's own identity.
And did I mention my raging hormones?! If this doesn't spell it out for you, I'm not sure what to say. But because I know I'm temporally crazy (lets hope) I try to hold allot of horrible comments back and I have to say that my tongue is tore up. I bite it daily. And to think that I still have 15 weeks to go. I'm gonna have to drink from a straw by then, I wont have a tongue.
But I will say that writing it down somehow makes me feel like I exhaled after a great massage. So I win.
And someday soon I will look back at this blog as I hold my new baby and wish I could feel her kick inside me again. Because for every dumb ass comment that someone makes or for every morning when I puke, I would never take this experience away. I truly feel lucky to be a woman and get to go through this amazing process. I am at awe with how this all works and this is my 3rd time around. There are no words to explain what it feels like to have a miracle happening inside your body. I am very grateful that I can have all of "issues" there are women that would do anything to hear the words that I complain about. So don't get me wrong, I know what I have and I do think I am extremely blessed and lucky.
Lucky and crabby.

whew- that felt great :)
