A New Day

So I had a dream the other night that I was a vampire who was trying to escape from another vampire, and I spent the whole dream running very fast and very far. I was surprised I didn't wake up tired... because just thinking about all that running made me feel like I should feel tired. But damn was it neat to be leaping from building top to building top, and practically flying over trees.

Last night I had another weird dream, but I don't remember it at all this morning... since my morning was interrupted by having to get up to puke before my alarm even went off. But I did get to lay down for a bit afterward, which was nice. Once I got up and got ready, I went to do my hair... which was wet when I went to bed (showered last night), and I had put up in a knot on top of my head... I totally looked like a girl out of an 80s hair band video. LOL. My hair was HUGE and wavy, and got immediately pulled back into a ponytail... although I did consider just using up my hairspray to keep it that way, then just walking around singing Poison songs all day. ;-)

Yesterday and today I've been doing a 48 hour food diary... which is required of all maternity patients at the birth center I'm using. I've been doing much better with food lately... so I'm hoping I won't get in trouble for my meals, but I'm nervous I'm going to be getting a "talking to" about my lack of greens. I just can't stomach them right now (except for avocado rolls... mmm, that's my one real pregnancy craving so far... and I had one yesterday, so that's something. and i might have another today). My appointment is Tuesday, so we'll see what they say.

I'm also going to ask them about the weirdest pregnancy side effect, but I thought I would seek the internet's advice too. Pardon me, because this is a bit much on the personal information department, but this is just too weird not to ask. Since around 8ish weeks of pregnancy I've had this weird thing, maybe just once or twice a week, where my crotch will go numb. Think "sitting on your foot too long" feeling. But with your crotch, instead of your foot. Its weird. Very weird.
So, anyone else experience this? Or am I just a freak of nature? :-)

On a less weird note... my brother, Ethan is enjoying his first week of DC living! He starts classes next monday, and he's currently enjoying getting to know the city. He's calling me tonight and I can't wait to hear all about it. It makes me a bit nostgalic. There is nothing like your freshman year of college... living "on your own" for the first time. Everything is new and different, suddenly you are in a whole new world of discovering yourself. You have no one to place their ideals on you, its all suddenly up to you. Its a very heady feeling, and I'm so excited and a bit jealous that he gets to experience that for the first time.

And on that note... I'm off!
