Ignoring it all.....Kind Of.
Dearest all,
I apologize for the blogging gap. I truly meant to be more on top of things, but this is the result :).
I hope you are all well.
I have been growing steadily and trying to ignore the Michigan winterness that has descended in the past few weeks. It's the only coping mechanism I have left. So I pretend it's really not THAT cold outside and it's really not THAT big of a deal that it won't stop snowing and that I never see the sun. I am driving Zagum crazy who can't figure out why I keep leaving the house without a coat. (I used to do the same thing in Boston, and I would be the only person on the train not wearing winter clothes. Brilliant, no? :))
Come to think of it, 'ignoring' has become my new best friend in more ways than one. Ignoring my ever expanding body with its unsightly moments (varicose veins anyone :( ). Ignoring the fact that I waddle. Ignoring the fact that I am tired. Ignoring the fact that I am kind of freaking out about becoming a mother.
It's kind of working :).
Today this nurse at work was like when are you due? And I told her April 24th. And she is obviously pregnant (in my estimation maybe 5 months) and so I ask her when she is due.
March 29th.
Of this year.
She is like half my size.
Then she proceeded to tell me that pregnancy has been great for her.
I am trying to ignore this too :).
Other news in my exciting world, I am trying to study for my child board written exams in June which is not that hard but does require a leeeetleeee bit of effort. So I am pretending to study now cause I pretty much assume after April 24th there will be very minimal studying occurring. All I have to say is wow people did this in med school???
Actually what I am trying to do right now is desperately looking for a topic other than child bearing. I am so on my way to becoming one of those parents who won't/can't stop talking about their child.
I apologize readers. It is obsessively on my mind and I have no way out right now.
So neither do you.
Love,
Frieda
