Between the mold-infested apartment and the morning sickness (which should really be called "all-day sickness"), my days have been somewhat like this:
wake up. Eat saltines. Run to the bathroom, plug my nose and avoid the livingroom/kitchen (because of mold problems). Throw up. Drink sprite. Eat toast. Drink more sprite. Skip class. No air conditioning, sweat tons. Sleep for 3 hours. Drink even more spirte. Take a cold bath, sweat some more, Jeff gets home at midnight, eat whatever he may have brought home.
No bueno for a growing baby. A lot of it has to do with the nausea from pregnancy, but a lot of it also has to do with the environment we're living in that's causing me nausea.
So I have a resolution for the new place in west jordan:
1. Better food. The nausea should have subsided by then, so I should be able to stomach more foods.
2. Exercise. The doctors haven't let me for a while, but I should be able to by then, so I will be in full-blown strengthening exercising mode in order to get in shape for labor.
3. Finding a job. although not too many employers are too keen on hiring pregnant women. :P
4. Reading books. It's the one thing I really miss, and I've been looking forward to doing it!
5. Yoga. Lots and lots of yoga. :) Or pilates.
6. Swimming. We have a swimming pool right outside our apartment, and you betcha I'm going to get my tan on. (and I'm thinking I'll swim at least a mile a day.)
7. Air conditioning. We're thinking we might even turn it down to 65 just because we can. :)
8. Drinking more water.
9. Being crafty. I'm planning on sewing/crocheting/gluing my way to savings before this baby gets here.
I'm getting more and more excited to move!
