Well well. Here I am, Thursday of the new job. I am happy to report that I’m enjoying the office quite a lot. I like the girls in accounting- and the more things we go over the more I realise that I can do it. And probably well. I just have to learn the ins and outs- oh yeah, and get the software on my computer.
I’ve been going to bed a little earlier, and taking naps when I can. Like today- I got home and laid down, and slept for about an hour an a half. I still have to do the laundry and make dinner- but at least I got a little sleep in. I feel like I could go to bed at 5 and stay asleep all night long. I’ve been having some very odd stuff going on- like, for instance, I’ve been waking up at 5am every day STARVING. I am so hungry my stomach hurts. The first morning I did this I went foraging and ended up on the couch for two hours covered in cracker crumbs. After that I put some cereal in a plastic container and when I wake up I just pop it open and eat some- eyes closed, semi-sleeping. Then I can keep sleeping with the minimum disturbance. I’m sure it’s really cute, too, when John rolls over and sees a smack stuck to my cheek.
So yeah. Hmmmm, what else. It seems like there should be a lot to say. I want to be able to tell everyone at work that I’m pregnant- but I want to go to the doctor first and make sure it’s all set and find out a due date, etc. Then I can share the info. Good chance I’m still going to need to work even after the baby is born (don’t really want to think about it) so they don’t really need to worry about losing me.
Oh, and as a follow up to the tail thing- Emily sent me a link last night showing that most babies/ fetuses look the same during the first trimester. So, for instance, my mermaid looks the SAME as a gecko’s mermaid, or a giraffe’s mermaid. Yeah, that freaked me out too.
Ok- I’m going to read some science. And do some laundry. And maybe make some dinner.
