Awww.....Bliss?

'Kay, so the day started well.

Joe and Ike left the house at 9:30. Joe won't be back 'till 6:30ish tonight, Ike won't be back till tommorrow. I got the day off! YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

I went back to bed after they left. I slept for another hour and a half. I got to stitch! I got to watch an America's Test Kitchen marathon while I stitched. Then I went to take another nap....

Then I started having contractions.

I've been having them on and off for the last few days, especially when I lie down. So I thought they were just Braxton-Hicks 'cause they quit when I sat up. But this time they were happening every 10 minutes. Crap. That's different. So I call Kaiser. After being on hold for 20 minutes I finally talk to a Dr. First thing she says is "Go drink some water" Second thing, "No more sex." Okay, that just sucks. I'm horny and she tells me no sex? Its too damn early for this shit! She also says no more shopping (not that I like it anyway), no picking up Ike (he won't like that). Take more naps (I can deal with that). The only good thing? I don't have to go down to the ER.

The other bummer of the week? I think I pulled a groin muscle. Hurts like hell to walk, go up the stairs, pick up Ike, get into and out of bed, basically it hurts to move. The only benefit? According to a friend who did the same move in her last pregnancy, she got a temporary handicap parking permit. I can live with that.

I love the fact that I'm pregnant. I really want these babies. I certainly spent enough money to get them! But man, I didn't think I would have this much trouble! Its going to be a long 20 weeks. But so far no bed-rest. If that happens, I'll really become prolific on here.

Well, now to go downstairs and stitch some more, and maybe nap on the couch.

Let me say, the prospect of six months of no sex bites the SIWOG. And I guess you won't enjoy it much either. :-)

If this restriction actually lasts for the duration of the pregnancy, then I'm going to lose the peak conditioning of my tongue. Perhaps I should solicit for workout partners.

Does "no sex" include "no watching Joe have sex"? Enquiring Minds Are Merely Curious.

"SIWOG"?

Yes, unfortunately

'cause I'm not allowed orgasms. And if I watch, I'm gonna want one or four dozen =)

However, I'm willing to lift the "I get to watch rule" until after I'm back in the saddle (so to speak) But this just institutes the "take pictures" rule =) (consentually of course, to be viewed after birth)

SIWOG=Semi-Infinite Wang Of God-Joe was using that in deference to me 'cause like most women, I believe that Wang has got to start somewhere!

So, are you offering to workout with Joe? =)

> So, are you offering to workout with Joe? =)

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of escorting him to his choice of the Watergarden or the Steamworks, or perhaps to a Bear Hug.

...a.

Damn, then I really can't watch. =)

Sorry, no. That's why I asked about watching. But during Ike's pregnancy, you and I had discussed this option (taking Joe to a suitable playspace) several times in a favorable context, so I thought it was worth bringing up again.

You really want to reword that last statement.

"So when did you START having sex with Ike?"

("Do you deny that you've stopped beating your wife?")

Good point, I didn't catch that.

PHHHHHBBBBBTTTTT! Do you want me to pimp for you now? =)

Actually...

After thinking about it, all you need to do to keep the tip top condition of your tongue is to intimidate that dude in the car!

I didn't say you had to practice in the car. I think at home in the mirror would amuse the hell out of me

Maybe I could use the Robin Williams workout style.

Now that's an interesting mental image

Yes, I thought about that. But is it socially responsible to leave a trail of crashed vehicles behind us as we travel down the freeway? You barely managed to maintain control of the vehicle when we encountered that guy.

No orgasms for 20 weeks? That is teh suq!

I found that LJ kept me from going absolutely nuts when I was laid up with my broken leg. I'll be home next week, so let me know if I can be of any help.

Will do, although a massage when you get back would be awesome!
