The myths of pregnancy

You have heard the sayings about if you step on a crack you will break your mommas back.
Or having a black cat cross your pass will curse you,plus you have the ladder myth or 7 years of bad luck from breaking a mirror.

Well I guess im going to have bad luck because I have thrown and shattered many mirror. But do you also know that there are pregnancy myths too.


The Spicy Food FraudSpicy food will bring on labor.- hahaha yeah right, I haven eaten spicy food so far through out my pregnancy and im not in labor. If anything,eating spicy food while you are pregnant will only cause heartburn.


The Fetal Heart Rate FallacyIf your baby's heart is low, you're carrying a boy. If it's high, it's a girl. - Nothing can determin the sex of your baby except the genetic material from your partners sperm. People carry in many different positions because of how the placenta is,the way the baby is laying or just how you grow.

The You-Can't-Be-Too Careful Yarn .If a pregnant woman raises her hands above her head, she'll choke her baby. - Please,let me smack the idiot who said this.

The Steamy Sex Superstition
Making mad, passionate love will induce labor. " No it has been proven that making love with your partner will not cause labor. Baby will come when baby wants to come out. All sex does while being pregnant,not only makes you feel relaxed and comfortable,it lulls your baby to sleep.

The Old Heartburn Harangue ,if a pregnant woman has frequent heartburn, her baby will have a full head of hair. - Read the spicy food myth. Plus nothing you eat will determine your babys hair. I was born bald,go figure.

The Sty-in-the-Eye-LieThose who deny a pregnant woman the food she craves will get a sty in their eye. - Funny myth,but not. Styes are just caused my bacteria. I would know,I have had one while being pregnant,it hurts,but not because I was denied food.

So there you have it.

Looks are deceiving

That saying has a strong meaning.

Going through out my pregnancy I never really had bad stretch marks until I started to get larger. They are not on my stomach like most people exspect them to be,no. That is odd that I don't, but they are in other places.

I have small ones on my arms. But they are mostly located in the leg area in the very back and going down my hips. I put stretch mark cream on everyday when I get dressed or get out of the shower.But last night looking in the mirror,I was in awe when I looked at my backside. There were pink and purple lines going down from the top of my tail bone,down to the calf of my leg. I NEVER noticed them before. They must have came up upon me during the middle of the night while I was sleeping.

When I was younger. I would see my mom with her stretch marks on her tummy and I would always ask her where she had got them. She told me that she had gotten them when she was pregnant with my sister and I. I hear women say that stretch marks are ugly and if they could get rid of them they would. Well they are not something that you can get rid of,unless by some miracle you find a great plastic surgeon or they blend into your skin. No, women will get them no matter how much they complain,because that is the way that god created our bodies to be. He created us to get stretch marks.Not only women but men to,its a growth factor also.

I used to think about the future when I was little and when I would be pregnant for the first time and have my own child. I also knew that going through the whole 9 month procedure I would accumulate these lines of purple. In my own opinion, I think stretch marks are cool. They show that a woman went through pain the bring a little baby into this world and also they worked hard. I don't think I would ever get rid of mine. Just because it is a branded mark,doesn't mean that they're ugly.

Looking around and see all the stuff that is accumulating in our house where I live. It would mostly be others peoples stuff that we have in storage down in our basement. Besides sean and I's stuff that is being stored until we move. Most of it is from other people who have moved in and left (without) taking their crap. Not only is it pissing me off because I can't walk downstairs anymore with out stubbing my toe on something,or weaving my way around stuff,it is also making my grandparents mad as well.

The thing I see the most that is irritating is the fact that if you were to light a match and take it to my grandpas computer room,the house would be in ashes in less then 1 min because of all the mail that is lying around in piles,that has been read and not thrown away. COME ON! who collects mail and leaves it around. On the tables, bar area,living room tables and anywhere else you can think of he sticks it.

Im going to get a mail box or a trash can and stick it in their for him to find. I have never seen anyone more obsessed with mail than him.

When I get my own house. I am going to keep it spit spot clean because if you don't know how I am. I like things neat and in order where I can find them and not in a mess.

Ughh!

Dazed

I find myself more and more dazed each day with things that preparing to come and things that are happening.
I don't sleep at night anymore. I don't know why. I can't fall asleep,something in my head is keeping me from enjoying nice dreams or feeling rested. It isn't the fact that my baby is kicking me all the time or sticking her feet out to where I can feel then if need be. But things on my mind that have me confused.

When I was younger I was the opposite. I would go to sleep early and wake up early and I was the only one that did this. When I first got pregnant I would sleep all the time. No matter what time it was of the day I was either in bed or on the couch trying to catch some z's. It changed a few months later on that when people in the morning were awake at 7 I would get up.

But now I go to bed late at night and wake up really early. Nights are my escape from the day to day things that have happened. I have time for myself to be alone in my room and just think. Watch tv and relax on my bed.
It's not because I feel alone. Yes I have that tendency to feel that way from time to time,but not constantly.

It may be because I just realized how much I miss sean now that is in korea,half way around the world away from me,and I worry about him and I want him to be safe.

I just don't know what is wrong with me.....

Good morning to all. I can remember days when I would up this early at home doing nothing,because all I wanted to do was look outside and see the sunrise up. It isnt to light but not to dark,so this is a perfect time of day for me.



A few years ago and even last year I was sitting at school staring out the windows,wishing that I had freedom instead of being stuck behind these walls in which I thought were jail walls! I wanted to go outside and be free to roam around. You know how it looks when the season is starting to turn sunny and spring like. With the tree blooming and all the green coming in,and I wanted to do was run.


I have that freedom now. I stay home everyday from now on,because 1- I finished my school work at my school and 2- My baby will be arriving in 2 months.
I think today is going to be a good day then it was yesterday. I am hoping today will be a good day with me and I wont be crying or upset anymore.
We will see

How does this sound for a first date..sure glad this wasnt mine!

WORST FIRST DATE STORY EVER

If you didn't see this on the Tonight show, I hope you're sitting down When you read it. This is probably the funniest date story ever, first Date or not!!! We have all had bad dates but this takes the cake. Jay Leno went into the audience to find the most embarrassing first date That a woman ever had. The winner described her worst first date Experience. There was absolutely no question as to why her tale took the prize! She said it was midwinter...Snowing and quite cold... And the guy had Taken her skiing in the mountains outside Salt Lake City , Utah . It was a day trip (no overnight). They were strangers, after all, and had Never met before. The outing was fun but relatively uneventful until they Were headed home late that afternoon. They were driving back down the mountain, when she gradually began to Realize that she should not have had that extra latte. They were about an Hour away from anywhere with a rest room and in the middle of nowhere! Her companion suggested she try to hold it, which she did for a while. Unfortunately, because of the heavy snow and slow going, there came a Point where she told him that he had better stop and let her go beside The road, or it would be the front seat of his car They stopped and she quickly crawled out beside the car, yanked her pants Down and started. In the deep snow she didn't have good footing, so she Let her butt rest against the rear fender to steady herself. Her Companion stood on the side of the car watching for traffic and indeed Was a real gentleman and refrained from peeking. All she could think About was the relief she felt despite the rather embarrassing nature of The situation. Upon finishing however, she soon became aware of another sensation. As She bent to pull up her pants, the young lady discovered her buttocks Were firmly glued against the car's fender. Thoughts of tongues frozen to Poles immediately came to mind as she attempted to disengage her flesh >From the icy metal. It was quickly apparent that she had a brand new Problem, due to the extreme cold. Horrified by her plight and yet aware of the humor of the moment, she Answered her date's concerns about' what is taking so long' with a reply That indeed, she was 'freezing her butt off' and in need of some Assistance! He came around the car as she tried to cover herself with her Sweater and then, as she looked imploringly into his eyes, he burst out Laughing. She too, got the giggles and when they finally managed to Compose themselves, they assessed her dilemma. Obviously, as hysterical as the situation was, they also were faced with A real problem. Both agreed it would take something hot to free her chilly cheeks from The grip of the icy metal! Thinking about what had gotten her into the Predicament in the first place, both quickly realized that there was only One way to get her free. So, as she looked the other way, her first time Date proceeded to unzip his pants and pee her butt off the fender. As the audience screamed in laughter, she took the Tonight Show prize Hands down.. Or perhaps that should be 'pants down. 'And you thought your First date was embarrassing. Jay Leno's comment...'This gives a whole new meaning to being pissed off.' Oh and how did the first date turn out? He became her husband and was Sitting next to her on the Leno show.
