I'll never forget Matt's comment to me one night after he finished a blog post on a past blog (either SmAlbany or Grimindl's Ghost). He said, "Ah, blogging is so relaxing!" I remember thinking to myself, "Making your thoughts available in a public space where anyone in the world can read them is relaxing...I guess opposites do attract!" So I can't say that the idea of writing about my personal life on a blog will come naturally to me from the start, but I wouldn't be surprised if it grows on me either.
First I should probably corroborate a few items that Matt has posted in the past few days (which some of you may not believe). Yes, I've become a big football fan this season. This all happened because I'm on the couch all the time, the TV happens to be in front of the couch, and I usually find watching anything that is on the TV more interesting than say, looking at the wall.
Secondly, it is true that Matt does everything around the house, which has been so wonderful. I really can't say enough about how much he has done to make my life easier during the past 8 weeks. I can imagine that he is looking forward to the end of my first trimester sickness as much or more than me - so hopefully that will be soon.
Now, on the topic of the end of the first trimester - this is a time I am anxiously awaiting both because supposedly I will be feeling better & I can get my hair dyed (something that needed to be done about the time I found out I was pregnant). I'm not sure if I misread this somewhere or if I just made it up because I wanted it to be true, but for the past few weeks I was convinced that the first trimester ended yesterday (at the end of the 12th week). The day before yesterday, as I anxious awaited the beginning of the magical 2nd trimester, I opened the book, What to Expect When You're Expecting to the 4th month chapter (early in the book it says not to read ahead - I'm sure this is to prevent one from finding out what happens at the end of the 9th month). Much to my dismay the 4th Month chapter was subtitled, "weeks 14-17." WHAT?!?!? Now that I think about it, I guess that makes sense. Somehow 40 weeks are supposed to extend for 9 months so I guess that every month can't be comprised of just 4 weeks, but I was so sure for the last few weeks that 12 weeks was the end. Oh well.
