23 Weeks

I can't believe I forgot to mention this...but in the wee hours of the morning yesterday I walked into a wall. Yep, that's right. But not just a wall, the corner of two walls. I have gotten up to pee so many times in the middle of the night that I've almost trained myself to not wake up fully so it's easier to go back to bed. So I was basically zombie walking leading with my face and had my eyes closed and slammed my cheek onto the corner of two walls. In my defense even if I'd had my eyes open it wouldn't have made a difference. Partly because it was pitch black in our bedroom but mostly because I'm blind as a bat. However, I should have had my hands out to feel my way along, at least this is what Jesse told me when i filled him in the next morning. The next morning my cheek was red, a bit swollen, and had a red line where the corner met my face. Luckily, I don't bruise easily on my face. The only bruise I can even remember getting on my face was when I took a frisbee to the mouth at a Westfield party while playing Polish. I may never play that game again.

I have been attempting to be a good pregnant lady and drink plenty of water - but to be quite honest I'm not a fan of the liquid. So I had bought some of the squirtable water flavor things and I have added that to my Klean Kanteen. It still takes me two to three work days to make it through one. I had bought a nalgene with a straw last spring that I loved drinking out of - and would even drink water, lots of it! But I dropped it so many times that the top of it chipped away so much that now if it tips water will just flow out. So that water bottle is retired. Jesse has had the same water bottle for about 5 years, so he finally wanted to get a new one. Last night, after dinner, we went to Sports Authority and each got a new water bottle. I have been tentative for about a year to try the camelback straws that you need to bite to suck. That concept just didn't make sense to me. But, I found a 32 oz camelback with the bite and suck straw for only $15.99 (the 24 oz was $14.99 and I felt the extra dollar was well worth the additional 8 oz). I used it today and by 1:00 I had drank the whole thing. I snuck into my assistant principal's office and refilled it in the elusive water bubbler and by the time I was heading home at 3:30 I had finished that! So, I officially drank 64 oz of water today! I was pretty proud of myself until I saw my cousin Ashley drank 16 8 oz glasses of water in one day...pretty sure she doubled my intake. How she doesn't spend her entire day peeing I'll never know!


I did some music time for Adin last night and these are two of the songs that he bounced around to:
You Won't See Me by the Beatles
Stockholm Syndrome by Muse

And as previously mentioned - here are the pictures from dinner last night. It was fairly tasty - a little bland. In hindsight I should have added some spices to the mix. Next time...
