Ethan is driving me insane!

OK, I do not care what Ethan says…I am not pregnant! 

rn

I have been feeling really run down, kind of sick to my stomach, and really bloated all week. All of which are symptoms of PMS, but I have also had wicked heartburn… I only get that when I am preggers.

rn

However, that doesn’t start until the second trimester.

rn

He is driving me crazy, he is convinced that I am. I know that I’m not. If by some chance that I was, and the heartburn is starting already, and that was a sign of what’s to come, I would have no choice but to fling myself off the nearest high building.

rn

He also keeps checking my fingernails. The only time I have ever had long nails ( without the aid of a manicurist and super glue ) was when I was pregnant. We have pictures of my hands when the boys were new borns and I have daggers for nails…they all broke off about a month later.

rn

They don’t look like they are really growing to me.

rn

I think he has a bad case of baby fever, and he is driving me nuts with the constant questions. How do you feel? Do you feel any different? Should you be using those cleaning fluids? What if you are? Do your boobs hurt? ( I think that one is a little personal )

rn

Did I mention that I am not even late?

rn

I wonder if he would be so hopped up on this if he was the one who had to carry the baby. Who am I kidding? He gets a splinter and acts like his whole hand is going to fall off.

rn

So that’s my week so far… Ethan pacing, observing, and questioning. I never thought I would be looking forward to a period.

rn

Thank you all for your support yesterday, I really needed it.

rn

I will rise above.

    LOL !! I know what you mean about the splinter thing !! Men might have more muscle mass…but they aren’t stronger LOL!

    LOL!! Hah…Thats actually kind of cute and sweet…He could have chosen the other route and freaked out on you…But it sounds like maybe in Ethans mind, a third little one running around, might not be entirely off the table, eh???

    Here’s hoping your period comes soon!!!! (if thats what you want!!!)

    MESS with him…   Make him think, in stead of pace…

    Send him to the store to get a pregnancy test.  Tell him he’s got to read each one to make sure it is the one that can tell the earliest.  It’ll get him out of your hair for an hour or so and then he can stop bugging you about it.  I never got an incorrect result from them so you’ll have your proof.

    Me thinks the lady doth protest too much!

    I’ll keep you informed on the hanging photographer situation….just hope there isn’t a law suit involved by the end of the day!!!

    Oh, but what if you were?  Hahahah!! I have been feeling kind of the same way.  The difference is, I am late….of course, I am not regular, so I don’t know if this can be considered “late.”   So if you were and I were, we can jump together!  I am looking forward to TOM’s visit as much as you I think!

    When I was pregnant with my daughter, at childbirth class, one of the men commented that childbirth wasn’t that painful.  The instructor told him to imagine peeing a grapefruit and that would be what childbirth is like.  He fainted!!!!

    Every time I read your blogs you make me laugh.  Hopefully Tom will show up and he will calm down. 

  13. Lidecka @ May 18th, 2007

    Waiting for TOM? Wait, he’s at my house right now, I’ll send him right over . I agree with those saying that you should ride the wave rather than fight it. If Ethan is decided to fuss about you, why complain.

  14. Luella @ May 18th, 2007

    I agree with Diane; get a pregnancy test, and that will settle the problem.
