Aside from all the morning sickness and crazy emotions and all the
normal pregnancy things that happen to everybody, I have had the STRANGEST
aversion to nail polish.
Let me start
off by saying that I don't think I have gone more than one hour without polish on my toes in the last 13 years. That is
not hyperbole people, that is real truth.
For some
strange reason after I found out I was pregnant last August, I took off my
"end of summer" coral toe polish and I haven't painted the darn
things since. I think I was a little paranoid about chemicals and what-have-you
in the beginning. Which also caused me to go a few days sans deodorant and I
even tried washing my face with olive oil. Fortunately for everyone, that ended
pretty quickly and I am happily back together with my Secret and anything
Sephora has to offer my skin.
But not nail
polish.
I keep
thinking I will get the urge to grab a new spring color or go get a pedicure
but I don't. And I certainly don't have the energy to contort my body so that
my hands reach my feet for three coats and a sealer.
Life is so weird.
Part of me
feels a little embarrassed that my toes are naked but the other part feels sort
of liberated. Does this mean I'm becoming a feminist? Doubt it.
I'm pretty
sure I'll get them painted before James comes. I'll paint them for the same
reason I laid out at the beach Friday to get a tan, and am hoping my bangs grow
out a little more, and have written down in 12 different places not to forget
my makeup bag and CHI when we leave for the hospital...
Because infant
boys ALWAYS care that their moms are tanned and coiffed. Duh.
Please don’t hate me as much as I hate
myself for writing that.
Anyhow, here
is what's going on at 36 weeks gestation!
How far along? 36 whole weeks
Baby is the size of... honeydew melon.
Best moment this week? Going to the beach on Friday!
Miss anything? I miss sleeping on my back and
stomach.
Movement? Big ones! I swear I feel a
little foot sometimes.
Sleep? I sleep really well when I am
asleep, I just hate having to get up or roll over a billion times a night.
Food cravings? Ice. Ice. Ice.
What makes you queasy/sick? Nada.
Other symptoms? Hating nail polish??
Looking forward to... Andrew’s parents coming this weekend,
our Dr. apt on Tuesday, and finishing the nursery!
Just a little more nursery progress....!!!
you are looking amazing, charlotte!! the nail polish aversion is pretty hilarious, i have to say.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a cute soon-to-be-mama! And so odd that at the time in your life when you have the best excuse EVER to get regular pedicures, you don't want them! ;) Good luck this month!
ReplyDeleteYou are beyond precious! Just know that I think of you and Andrew and baby James always and read your blog to keep up! I stalk all pictures to sneak pictures of you, your tummy and your Mama. Tell her I miss her so! The only thing that drove me crazy during my pregnancies was the smell of bacon. Go figure....keep us all posted and know God has you iand yours in his loving embrace!

ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you and feel that little foot. I love you, lots. Mimi
