Well, no new baby news really. I had a severe headache last night and it did not go away over night so I worked from home today. Maybe I am allergic to my bed because I went back into the bedroom and laid down for a second and the headache came back. I feel much better now, thankfully and even got through a semi-frustrating day of work. I think that the headache was caused from playing Bingo yesterday- Spirit Mountain Casino has a kind of smallish room and half of it is smoke free but there is no magical divide in the room that stopped the smoke from coming over to our side. And then you have to walk through all the smokey slot machines and poker tables to get to the bingo hall and buffet line. Not very good planning on their part. Maybe baby is just not good luck- cause we totally lost at bingo. So, we won't be going back- even if it is cheaper.The nauseau is better as long as I eat consistently and drink plenty of water. Still going to the bathroom like 4 or 5 times a night. I have no idea how many times during the day. I am still surprised about people's reactions to the news. People that I would think they would be blase about it are all excited and jumping up and down and wanting to know details. Personal details- like when the baby was conceived- What? Do you want a picture too? One thing I was happy about was the same day that people at work found out I was pregnant- Tricia told everyone that she was 6 months pregnant and just found out herself! She had no idea- she was still having her periods and really had not gained any weight. Amazing! She has been with the same guy for 18 years using no birth control and was told years ago that she could never have children- but there you are! Is that not weird? Anyway, that news kind of was shocking enough that people were happy about me being pregnant but Tricia's news took precident. Which was nice because I did not really want to be the center of attention. That is not something I am looking forward too at Baby Showers- but I got through wedding showers- I can get through baby showers- as long as there are no chocolate melted in the diaper games, guess how many rolls of toilet paper can go around the pregnant ladies belly and all that. I guess those are the only ones that I do not like. And no disposable diaper cakes. I found out that the start up cost for disposable diapers (if you buy them pre made) is about the same as two years of disposable. BUT you can reuse the same diapers for future kids so you are talking about a lot of savings. The only issue that I am having is all of the green loving fad idiots saying how good it is for the earth and how "Green" you can be. I could give a rats patoot about being "Green" but I feel very strongly about this issue (thanks mom). Robby does not care either way about disposable or cloth but does not want to ruffle any feathers about it. Well, what will happen will happen. Nature calls
