Inches vs. Centimeters and a BLT

1. When I read about one of my friends (on her preggo blog), it said that she was dilated 4, or something like that. I said to Vladi, "WOW, Vladi! Just think, she has to dilate to 10 inches! That is so big!" Then after I said that, I thought to myself, "That's big enough for a basketball maybe. That doesn't sound right, wouldn't the baby just slide out?" But I didn't say anything to Vladi because I thought, "he doesn't know." After thinking more about this and how scary 10 inches was, I yelled, "NO! It's 10 centimeters!!!" Vladi said that that's what he figured. How silly of me.

2. One day at my lunch break, I was craving a BLT. There is a little diner 1 1/2 blocks away from my work, so I decided to walk there. On the way I thought, "I bet they take cash and I don't have cash, BUT I really need a BLT!" When I was about to open the door, I saw the dreaded sign... CASH ONLY! So I stood on the sidewalk deciding how to get my BLT. 2 blocks away and through a very busy intersection is my bank. So I walked to the bank, yes, and thought about my BLT all the way. I could feel all the drivers looking at me because I know I looked out of place. When I got to the bank, I walked up to the Jennie machine in the drive thru. There was a car behind me. haha The tellers at the window were just staring at me. I walked back to the diner and very much enjoyed my BLT. It was perfect!

3. Most preggo women have trouble with their senses. Well, I definitely am. I am not having morning sickness, instead I have evening sickness (not much throwing up). It's horrible because as soon as I get home to see Vladi and fix dinner together, I am too nausiated to think of food. Smell really bothers me and then there is meat... Oh meat, I can't stand it for the most part and I use to love meat. I can't eat chicken at all which is sad because that's what we use to fix every night. The only meat that I can really do is pork (ribs) and bacon. Sometimes I feel good enough to eat hamburger. So we are having trouble figuring out what to eat. My Mom says that my gag reflexes are very sensitive. I'd rather just throw up then walk around all day gagging. Yet, I know all of this is because of Baby G, and that makes it ok. AND, I am so lucky to have a husband like Vladi. He has been so sweet, understanding, and thoughtful to all of my needs.
