January 1, 2011.\u00a0 We celebrate our 6th anniversary!\u00a0 We actually spent our afternoon at a friend’s wedding.\u00a0 It’s kind of cool that we’ll be sharing our anniversary.\u00a0 I maintain that wearing a dress makes a pregnant chick look even bigger. =)\u00a0 After the wedding, we crashed for a few at our hotel, then went out for an anniversary dinner date.\u00a0 It was quite nice.\u00a0 Strange to think that next time we want go on an anniversary date, we’ll need a babysitter!<\/p>\n
I was thinking about this in the last couple\/few days, but it really struck me today when I actually said it.\u00a0 People ask me when I’m due, and I’ve been saying, “end of February.”\u00a0 Now I can say, “end of NEXT MONTH.<\/em>”\u00a0 (!!!!!)\u00a0 Ohhh my gosh!<\/p>\n Ok people, time for another TMI moment.\u00a0 Remember when I said I wouldn’t hold back?\u00a0 Well, I’ve held back a little.\u00a0 But only a verrrrry little.\u00a0 So read at your own risk.<\/p>\n (…)<\/p>\n Still here?\u00a0 Okay.\u00a0 Tonight, as I was taking my shower, I made a startling discovery.\u00a0 I think…just maybe…I might have a hemorrhoid.\u00a0 I’m really not sure about that because they say hemorrhoids are painful, and there’s nothing painful or uncomfortable or even itchy.\u00a0 Just…something fleshy that wasn’t there yesterday.\u00a0 Honestly, I was mortified at the discovery.\u00a0 Being the kind of person that I am, I was really wishing I wasn’t at a hotel so I could get a mirror and see for myself.\u00a0 Gross?\u00a0 Perhaps.\u00a0 But I guess when I grow new fleshy parts overnight, I kinda want to know what they’re all about.<\/p>\n I told Pete, “I haven’t even been straining!\u00a0 After I actually give birth, it’s going to look like a tree down there!”\u00a0 (Pete wasn’t particularly thrilled with this thought of mine, but sometimes I just can’t hold back.\u00a0 I’m not generally a “thought enters brain, thought comes out of mouth” kind of person.\u00a0 Just with the people I love the most.\u00a0 So sorry.)\u00a0 I knew hemorrhoids were common at some point in this whole becoming-a-mother process, but I thought it was more during the actual childbirth.\u00a0 Since I’m at a hotel, what choice do I have but to consult Dr. Google?\u00a0 I totally do not recommend that, by the way.\u00a0 But I like to tell myself that I’m educated enough to filter out the crap or at least take it with a grain of salt if I can’t tell for sure if it’s crap or not.\u00a0 But it would seem that, if these are indeed hemorrhoids (which they probably are), they are a very common ailment in the 3rd trimester.\u00a0 Usually, they result from constipation (haven’t been constipated), but they don’t have to.\u00a0 My next Dr. appointment is on Wednesday, so I guess I can ask her about it then.<\/p>\n Edit (1\/2\/2010) – My problem seems to be smaller than it was yesterday.\u00a0 Aren’t you happy for me?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" January 1, 2011.\u00a0 We celebrate our 6th anniversary!\u00a0 We actually spent our afternoon at a friend’s wedding.\u00a0 It’s kind of cool that we’ll be sharing our anniversary.\u00a0 I maintain that wearing a dress makes a pregnant chick look even bigger. =)\u00a0 After the wedding, we crashed for a few at our hotel, then went out […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/babyg.brainstormwarning.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/babyg.brainstormwarning.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/babyg.brainstormwarning.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/babyg.brainstormwarning.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/babyg.brainstormwarning.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=379"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/babyg.brainstormwarning.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/379\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/babyg.brainstormwarning.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/babyg.brainstormwarning.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=379"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/babyg.brainstormwarning.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
