29

let's just ignore the fact that i'm writing this on day 1 of week 30. it was just one of those weeks. let me tell you: these third trimester hormones are NO joke. i don't really feel any different, i'm not crying left and right but i know that when i get upset with evan over asking what i want for lunch, that something isn't right. but we reconciled over pizza and pretty little liars. so it was okay.

[when i was little i had no idea where babies came from. like, where they grew, came from. not where they came from, came from. even though i didn't know that either. but i specifically remember holding my doll up to my mom and telling her she was pregnant and had babies in her teeth. kids, man.]

but there are eleven weeks until i no longer have the uncontrollable urge to pee 24/7. even after i pee. i take two steps and gotta go again. that is my least favorite part about this. this baby may be suspended in fluid but this baby sure is not weightless while sitting on top of my bladder. and also my bladder is the best punching bag in the world.

but THE BEST part about having to pee 24/7 is how we are remodeling our upstairs bathroom and evan is a nazi and won't even let me in it to pee. not even at 2, 3 4 or 5 am. so i have to go alllll the way downstairs to our other bathroom. he even duct taped the door shut so i wouldn't go in there. i mean, really.

evan also won't let me dye my hair EVEN THOUGH i googled "is it okay to dye your hair in the 3rd trimester?" and i found an answer from an ex-model who had to have her hair dyed every 2 weeks and didn't know she was pregnant and was still dying her hair in her first trimester but then her son turned out okay and in fact he took the SAT's at age 12 and scored in the top 25%. AND EVAN STILL WON'T LET ME DYE MY HAIR. and i mean, that was a pretty convincing argument.

and now i'm down to doctor's appointments every 2 weeks. which is really going to make time fly by. at the last appointment my blood pressure was the lowest it has ever been (100/75) and i was like, "is my heart even working?!" you would think it would be pumping extra hard to build up this baby but i guess it ain't no thang for my heart.

and also the nurse said to us, "you guys are having a girl, right?" so. apparently we're having a girl? just kidding, i don't think she actually knows and maybe she just got us mixed up with someone else. it would be a total shock because we still think it's a boy. but then that makes me think it's a girl. which makes my head hurt.
