dentist

my adventures for today included a trip to the dentist. oh joy!
i had to get some work done. drilling, pasting in fillings, yuck.
the right side of my face is still numb.

in other news i decided to pick up some secret shopping again. i hated working for starbucks so i totally won't be doing that probably ever again, but there are some other interesting shops out there to do. the hotel ones are a little much for me, they are all in Canada usually which is fun but I still don't feel well in the car. i think the economy must be a little better because all of the sudden the pay that these shops offer are just a little too tantalizing. and i've started choosing ones outside of my normal Applebees, sandwich shop type things. Like today I had to go to a bank and inquire about things. Tomorrow I go take a picture of a cell phone display at a store. It's like wow, I get paid to do this, niiice.

In other, other news a few weeks ago i started feeling baby flutters, which I was like ohmygosh! baby flutters! best thing ever! how cute! my little person is becoming a kicking twitching person! aww! BUT..... But.......... THIS WEEK.... it was become little jabs. Jab jab jab, jab. jab. jab! jab jab jab. I dunno a lot about like ligament uterine anatomy or whatever (hey nursing school i pretty much ignored the OBGYN rotation) but there is some spot on the right side that is like super painful, and so every little kick or headbutt is like, well, super painful. But just in that one spot. But baby finds that spot. Constantly. So, anyway, I'm still hoping to gain a few pounds, or a few 20 lbs, since I'm still so underweight, and hope that will help things, since I am feeling like a wafer and my abdominal wall feels wafer thin to me, too. I didn't think I would be one of those people woman types to rub cocoa butter on my tummy, but dude, it is like totally getting stretched out, like major ouch, and then I rubbed cocoa butter on it, and it felt better. So i was like hey, I should do this more often.
p.s. i dont believe there is any way to prevent stretch marks so uhm yah dont get me started on the pregnany advertising industry. (although i do enjoy myself a Preggie Pop TM time to time, Cass!)

everyone at work thinks I'm having a boy, and so does Josh. I have no womanly intuition to offer at all, I have no idea, but I think I'll just say girl, so that I can be that one person who was like "ha ha I was right, you guys can suck it! yah! I'm the mom! I know stuff!" but uhhh yah, really it's a 50/50 chance there. my parents want to give me and josh old baby stuff from garage sales, and josh's parents want to give us a money to buy nursery furniture from The Pottery Barn or some such Swanky Baby Boutique. aye dios mio.

well that's enough rambling for today. i will TRY .....TRY to update my blog more. ive been really good with my flickr stream lately. :) just like im going to TRY, TRY to clean my house and put laundry away.
