blame it on the pr...pr...pr...pr...pregnancy

That was my attempt at being a rap-master like Jamie Foxx. Thank you.

And now for some things I would like to blame on my unborn child.......

1) Me bawling at the dentist today. It wasn't even my appointment, it was Reese's. She had a little cavity on the back of one of her upper centrals. They gave her nitrous, but she was hysterical. We could not calm her down and she cried the whole time. So did I. It took me quite a while to get a hold of myself. The assistant was asking me if I was okay. I felt really silly and told her I was pregnant. (To be fair to my unborn child, it really is no fun even when you're not pregnant to watch your child be scared and sad, and I do cry kind of easily anyway. Like when people win the Showcase Showdown on The Price Is Right...tears. Yes those are happy tears, but still.)

2) I'm ordinarily a fairly clean person. Definitely not a neat freak, but piles, clutter....ughhh I usually can't handle them for too long. Well, I cannot for the life of me keep my house clean right now. I was kind of in a funk like this with Claire, but I was definitely out of it by this point. It's depressing me. Let's just say that if Santa left a cleaning lady under my tree on Christmas morning I would be totally cool with that. Maybe a bit creeped out when I first walked down the stairs, but overall totally cool with it.

3) My upward spike in Del Taco runs. I think Tom may have an entire category in Quicken just for Del Taco. My love for Del Taco has been going strong for about a year now, but I think I may be feeling more justified in going since I'm pregnant. I'm starting to feel really embarrassed though because I know they recognize me. Like I think I may be my local Del Taco's "Norm!" I should try walking in there and saying "Hey everybody!" (Or if you prefer, Sonic's Sherie.)

4) My blog love is dwindling. This is making me sad and I so hope it is just temporary. I have been going strong for almost 4 years now and now my desire to do it is almost next to nothing. I REALLY really hope it's just pregnancy because I LOVE reading back about my kiddos and all the other random things we have been up to. Like guess what, the girls and I went to Disneyland over Halloween and we all went to Idaho for Thanksgiving. Both two great things that should have been blogged (and hopefully still will). By the way, it seems like I've noticed a lot of people who aren't blogging as much. Are some of you not loving it so much anymore too? Are you all pregnant too?

That's all I can think to blame on my unborn child for now. I'm 16 weeks so not too much longer until I (hopefully) find out some gender info on this baby!

Aw man, I sure hope that blog love comes back, because yours is one of my favorite reads!

And I've definitely teared up a time or two when one of my boys was hysterical because of pain. That's normal, right?

Check, check and check. Will says this pregnancy turned me into a girly-girl, meaning totally irrational and easily upset. I thought it would go away after delivery, but so far it hasn't.

And I completely lost my blogging mojo during this last pregnancy. I felt like I didn't have anything nice to say, so I didn't say anything at all. :) The mojo did come back briefly right after he was born, but even though I wanted to blog, it was hard to find the time. Then the mojo left again, as is evidenced by my severe lack of posting lately.

I hope that yours comes back though, because (1) I want to hear about Vegas and Boise, (2) I want to see pics of your cutie preggo belly, and (3) I need you to continue posting your girls' ridiculously cute birthday parties so I can steal your ideas.

I'm marking my calendar for 4 weeks from now to hear that you're having a boy. :)

Tears on the Showcase Showdown. Classic. That made my day. Hope you guys have a great Christmas!

I absolutely love reading your blog so PLEASE write just for me, k? I seem to go in waves of blogging and sometimes when I get too far behind, it just become overwhelming so I keep putting it off. I always seem to feel better once I can get on top of it again though, it's my only real source of journaling so I don't want to give it up. And yeah, I definitely want to see some cute preggo pics soon!!

Heidi said...

Wait, remind me...why does anyone get pregnant? But as long as you're this far in to it - I can't wait to hear the gender. That's always my favorite part of pregnancy!

I sure hope your anti-blogging sentiment is temporary too because it is one I LOVE to read...even though I've never even met your hubby or cute little girls!!! But I feel ya...my blogging has slowed WAY down since having #3. There's just not enough time, or maybe I don't feel like things are "blog worthy" as much. I dunno. But please keep posting!!!

I'm thinking that the "no blogging" thing just means our minds are clogged with so many other things, especially with the end of the year looming. You'll get back your blog mojo soon enough - for now just go to your happy place....Del Taco :-)

I love the Sonic's Sherie... I too confess that I am a Sonic Julie:) I seriously hope that your love for blogging continues because even when I am not updating mine I can always count on a good read from yours. Your posts put a smile on my face.
P.S. when I was reading this post it made me feel guilty because I have all those same things happening in my life but I have no unborn child to blame it on:)

Maybe it's something to do with the 3rd pregnancy. Mine just got harder every time. Don't worry though, you'll get back to "normal" soon--that being relative for all of us. I think my normal has adjusted so many times. I just consider each day a success that we all made it through alive now. :)

AWW man, hang in there. I was in a 'funk' with 3 out of my 4 pregnancies (the whole pregnancy long) and although it took a while after each pregnancy, I've returned .. for the most part. I never wanted to blog, take pictures, clean, or anything that took any motivation!!! Hang in there. I bet you feel better after you have this little bundle!!! :) Take it a day at a time!!! :)

I'm SO sorry about the dentist! After I assured you that it would all be great. What a bummer! I would totally cry, too... I have before in the doctor's office. And you can totally blame whatever you want on your unborn child... it's totally justified - he/she isn't here yet to even care... so blame away!

Hey there,
I am still here. Believe it or not. Ok, first congrats on baby #3. I am crossing my fingers for a boy but if it's a girl I am sure she will be beautiful. I hope all is well with the Bjorkmans. I hope you can feel better. I think I will be there at the end of January. I will keep you posted. Take care! Holls
