I have an itch for a drastic hair style change… like red or bald … or any other style that would look cute on a fat face and bring out the dark circles under my eyes. I know, I know… changing your hairstyle while pregnant is absolutely the worst thing you can do, but it’s either that or we are getting a puppy… for Leila. I was just about to lose my mind today trying to come up with all the ways I want to spoil her in the next four weeks. FOUR WEEKS! And then BAM! The end of my life as I know it.
I am officially at that point. You know the point of pregnancy were the insane amount of sugar consumption is finally taking over your brain and then at 4:30am you trip over something fuzzy and think “since when do we have a cat?!”… out loud. One more week of this mental degradation and I will be eligible for a babysitting job.
So all of this was supposed to be an intro to tell you that I am no longer using a wheelchair and rarely even touch my crutches.
Let’s just take a moment to appreciate my superb writing skills, shall we?… Now back to cookie building:
The feelings I have for my chiropractor are borderline inappropriate. I love her. While everybody was busy telling me the pain was “normal” and that it was just a “pinched or damaged nerve” and “there is nothing we can do for you right now” she was the only one actually trying to do something about it. And after each appointment I felt better and better… and today I am back to my normal self, aka – crying, laughing, caffeinated walking pregnancy hormone looking for a puppy. You guys… the feeling of NOT being in pain is intoxicating! Now who wants to dance with me in the shower?! BTW… this is exactly how it happened (only in the shower):
I did try out an acupuncture for the first time in my life… and I am sure it would have worked after a few treatments… but turns out that I don’t particularly enjoy an old Asian guy touching and poking my butt… which apparently is the center of all lower back pain… huh? Those 30 minutes with my butt in the air looking like a push pin cushion were the most mortifying half an hour of my life. I just have a bad feeling that the picture of my assets will somehow end up on the Internet… if you see it – I don’t want to know.
“Thank you” doesn’t seem like a enough at the moment, but thank you for all your good wishes and food and the extra love and all the whining you had to put up with in the last month. But don’t you sweat – more whining to come, because HELLO I’m having another baby in FOUR WEEKS. My mind is going a thousand miles per hour and since my body is clearly not connected to my brain things are going really great over here… just as an example – I’ve been writing this post for days now… and it still makes no sense, but I guess you better get used to this because it will only get better from here.
The dance video rocked my world. I need to learn some of those MOVES. Well maybe not the last one. But who doesn’t love the throwing of one’s face suddenly at the camera move!
Glad you’re feeling better. Oh and I ALWAYS get new haircuts during pregnancy. My twitter avatar? A pregnancy haircut. And I always have the urge to buy a puppy too. DON’T. Get the haircut. It doesn’t poop in your house.

I’ve gotta disagree with Alex on this one and say DON’T get the haircut OR the puppy. No major life decisions should be made with a pregnant brain… and that goes for about two months postpartum as well. Trust me. I have been there and done that. Buy some shoes or something instead.

I think I hurt myself laughing at that video! It reminds me of the one “funky style hip hop dance” class that I took. Seriously, that’s what it was called. Anyway, I was so proud of myself for learning the routine, if there had been a webcam invented when I was in college that girl, crashing through her apartment for all the world to see, would have been me. As it is I only traumatized my roommate, bless her.

LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog. How you manage to keep so upbeat is beyond me. I start off with the best intentions to be helpful and positive, and end every post with a mega rant bitch session. Clearly you are a much happier person than I am. Maybe because you build the best cookies? By the way, I thought that dancer was totally rocking. At least she was dancing when she wreaked havoc. I can demolish a room just reaching for a chocolate cup cake.
Ohhhh BALD! HEHEHE….you can be my very own Britney
I’m so very glad you’re feeling better again, btw.

Beth´s last blog ..This Fourth of July Weekend
Does it mean that you can send the sitter packing, at least most of the time? You can play with Leila again! Hooray!! I’m trying to see how I can get off early one of these days and have the girls play together again, if that’s ok… Before your chaos start… I think next week, I can maneuver getting off work early one day… We won’t chase after the girls but if you wanted to, you can! Right?? No crutches. Yay!!
Totes! Let’s make it date for Tuesday.
Ok, let’s plan on Tues. the 13th. Love seeing Alex chase after Leila… Leila seems to like it too…
And I hope she won’t yell at her again… And I hope I won’t laugh while trying to discipline her as well… 
Is this what you do in your shower? The cookie looks perfect to me.
you make it sound as if you are not doing the exact same thing in your shower.
I WANT that cookie

Hahaha! Very funny! The video, not you falling down and hurting yourself!
Hope you’re doing better now!
Four weeks, four DAYS (here), at this point I think it’s preety much the same. I’ve been feeling like this FOREVER now!
Wishing you the best!
Oh my adoration for my chiropractor is right up there with your feelings for yours. Doctors told me I had LUPUS! Turns out? I just had the spine of an 85yr old.
That cookie? LOOKS AMAZING!!!
