Week 12, Day 1 or so

For the third day in a row, I haven't napped! Today, I actually felt human again and feeling human is bliss, let me tell you!

The smell of cooking food still gets me and some sweeter smells but I'm regaining my composure and can tolerate a lot more.

And I'm not so queasy and dominated by my stomach, and that is so nice.

I took an actual walk today, in the heat no less. And then I went to the pool and sat...in the heat...for 2 hours. And then I even went to work without a nap! I was tired but it wasn't exhausting. I even considered making something for dinner today but then thought I might be pushing my luck.

But I'm totally fat. And that's the way I look. I don't look pregnant - just pudgy which is great for my self-esteem. Whatever.

I made my appointment for September 10th to find out what the baby is. That'll be exciting.

And, if you were wondering how me and the cat are getting along, we're not. I sneeze ALL the time and now I pee my pants whenever I do, which is frequent. It's annoying. The doc told me I could take Benadryl but it says it causes "marked drowsiness" and that's EXACTLY what I don't need right now just as I'm feeling LESS drowsy.
