The other night I came out of the bathroom and had the following conversation with my husband.
“You know, one of the few times I feel comfortable anymore is when I’m sitting on the toilet.”
“Oh, really?”
“Sometimes I just continue to sit there and do nothing.”
“You might not want to do that for too long.” He began. “You’ll get hemorrhoids.”
“No, you’re not getting it! I’m not doing that. I’m doing nothing. I pee and then I just continue to sit there. It’s really comfortable.”
“No, you’re not getting it. Just sitting on a toilet for extended periods of time can give you hemorrhoids.”
“No way. You’re making that up.”
“Am not. It’s true. Something about the way American toilets are made and how we sit on them.”
“You’re telling me that if I sit on the toilet for too long, even if I don’t actually do anything while there, I can get hemorrhoids?”
“That’s exactly what I’m telling you.”
“Is there ANYTHING safe and relaxing to do while pregnant?”

I rejoined Maxim last month. I did a monthly unlimited because their hours and proximity can’t be beat. I figured people change, can’t businesses as well? I was so happy to find that things have changed DRASTICALLY for the better. Everything works! The staff is amazingly friendly and there is no sign of that one trainer guy who was so cruel. I am not sure what happened, but it’s great now. I wanted to write that because the review below is rather negative and this place has completely changed. I highly recommend them now.

Murray eats a lot of food. He prefers Merrick because it’s wet and gooey and comes in flavors with names like California Roll, Grammys’ Pot Pie and Thanksgiving Day Dinner. He eats really fast. He eats so fast, when he’s finished eating his face is usually covered in wet cat food.

I went ahead and had Tobyjoe take some belly shots. Here is my fantastically massive belly at 30 weeks. Here is my belly at 23 weeks. And finally here it is at 15 weeks, 4 days. (Back then, even the days mattered. Now I seriously can’t even remember what week I am let alone how many days I have left in a week.)

On Tuesday the FDA approved a birth control pill that will suppress monthly bleeding indefinitely. I don’t understand why this is a medical breakthrough. What is wrong with having one’s period? I can’t imagine why women would want to take a pill like Lybrel. Someone please explain this to me.

To all those people who own houses: How did you do it? How were you able to buy your first one? (If you wish to remain anonymous, I am OK with that. Use a fake name if you leave a comment.)

Murray has ringworm, which was the catalyst that started The Great Cleanse of 2007. (I know some of you may be wondering if this whole ringworm thing is OK for me since I’m pregnant. I have spoken to my doctor about it. Ringworm is harmless for me and the unborn baby.) After Toby dunked the little guy in a sulfur mixture, we scoured the floors with bleach and water. We washed every piece of clothing we own. We stripped down the bedding and washed whatever we could, and boxed up whatever we couldn’t. One of the items we couldn’t wash was our bedspread. I washed it twice before (because I’m a moron) and the second time it nearly came undone. So I’ve stopped washing it, which means it needs to be boxed up until I can figure out a way to get it clean. (Or until the ringworm spores die, which I believe takes a month or so. Oh, and by the way, ringworm is not a worm.)

I had my 30-week checkup yesterday. Everything seems to be going just fine. We went over my bloodwork and all of that is right on track. Even my weight gain is fine. Chemically, I am doing well. I’m crossing my fingers that the next 8 to 10 weeks bring me much of the same where health is concerned.

If there’s one thing I can say about myself it’s this: I am fiercely loyal. I have my weaknesses, for sure. I’m terrible at saying goodbye. I am terrible when it comes to emergencies. I don’t like to attend parties, large social outings, or public events. And I can be pretty lazy as well. If it’s not laziness that beats me down, I have some mental hurdles I struggle with, which means sometimes I say I’m going to be somewhere and then something happens inside of my head and I simply cannot go. I’m also not one for making large convictions because I find I’m easily swayed and sometimes standing by said convictions proves difficult. A gal can change her mind sometimes, right? (There are some exceptions to this, of course. Some convictions make up who I am.) Anyway, I do have my issues; I have my many, many, issues.

I’ve been having a rough time lately. Mentally. Physically, things are wearing down a bit as well, but I can handle that sort of thing. I have been feeling a bit frustrated by the sheer lack of control I have over everything taking place around me. And it’s an exhausting state to be in while living in New York City.
