Week 17
Let the beginning of week 17 also mark the beginning of doing weird pregnant lady things. If you read my facebook this morning you will already know that I spent 10 minutes looking for my purse which was already on my shoulder.
Driving in to work I knew I needed orange juice. I had been thinking about it since 5 AM. I stopped at the grocery store to pick up an orange, a yogurt, and a a bottle of orange juice. I passed the big bottles of OJ convinced that I could not be see in my office swigging a gallon of it. I head to the cooler with the little individual bottles and stood there. Nothing was big enough for what I apparently needed. My solution was to buy two bottles. My head said I was being completely irrational and only needed 1 bottle. but I could NOT get my body to walk away from the cooler. I seriously stood there for about 2 minutes battling it out in my head. The baby won- we walked away with 2 bottles of orange juic, 2 oranges, a yogurt and a container of mango slices.
I walked across the parking lot laughing. With Riley, my pregnancy symptoms were few and far between. If this was a “craving” that so many people talk about, I can’t get over the moments of complete irrationality in my head. I was SO not in control at that moment.
