Dear Santa,

Vega has been teething for the last two weeks. If you don’t have kids (I don’t know if elves count?) then let me just offer my translation services and inform you that this means that the baby is not happy and refuses everything. Especially things that include SLEEP and EATING. Which aren’t like basic needs or anything so I don’t really know what I’m complaining about..

Anyway! December is a month away. Which means that apart from making my wish list, I need to pull my ass together and remove the army of pumpkins and spiders that are currently occupying our house. Not real spiders of course (no need to worry), although that would be totally awesome now that I think of it. My own army of radioactive spiders.. On the other hand it would probably get exhausting to manage world domination when sleep deprived and in possession teething baby. I think I’ll just stick with the baby.
So my point, Santa, is that all I want for Christmas is nap time and if I can’t have that then I want the new retina 15-inch MacBook Pro. And you better include the Adobe Master Collection. You owe me!

Sincerely,
Nina Amelia.

I’m sick in bed so I’m making the best of my time fantasizing about this baby, soon to be mine. Which phone is on your wish list?

I payed my doctor a little visit today and it took him about 7 seconds to conclude that I have SPD as I’d feared. Now that he has given me the diagnosis I have to follow certain rules and this time the SPD is causing me some trouble with my sciatic nerve so I really have to remind myself to be careful if I still want to be able to walk in a couple of weeks. At this point I’m already down to very small distances. We are managing though and as long as baby is happy and healthy then we can’t ask for more.

In other pregnancy craziness I can report that while I may not have rainbow boobs this time, I’ve developed a talent for smelling other people’s urine. If someone has been to the bathroom up to a half an hour before me I can still smell their urine clearly as if that person has never drunken a drop of water. It’s really bad when I’m on campus since the restrooms are used constantly so whenever I walk in the stench of urine hits me in the face like a WALL. As you can probably imagine it’s a little hard for me to avoid the restrooms these days since I have a human living ON my bladder.

FRIDAY is the day when we’re having our final ultrasound and we can’t wait!! Our mothers and my grandmother are coming along so it’s a big day for all of us. We’re guaranteed a conclusion on the baby’s sex but as I’ve mentioned before we know to expect a baby girl. Which has me fallen totally in love with the beautiful bedding above and the baby blankets below.
