Diario di Mamma Jenn

This is a must blog situation so that I will never forget it. I was outside putting in a load into the washer when I saw the postman and he needed a signature so I buzzed him in. After I finished doing what I had to do outside I came back inside to find Izzie with the house phone up to her ear and she was saying "Papa." So I grabbed the phone away from her and saw that the line was on so I just said "hello" and I was greeted by someone that said was from 118, which is like 911!! I apologized profusely for Izzie's big OOPS while thinking "oh my goodness we're going to get fined for such a thing!" The man on the other end of the line said, "no problem, have a good day." I questioned that "no problem" and immediately called my husband and told him the situation and asked him if you get fined here like you can in the US for a phoney 911 call and he said no. I was very relieved and only then could I laugh at what Izzie did. I cannot believe she called 118!!! Now the phone is way out of her reach. I know she loves the phone and when it rings, she'll grab it for you, but she's never dialed any numbers. I think she's figured out that her non-working real phone is just for play and she will not get anyone on the other end of the line. :-(

Two years ago, Jan 2009, I was sick and pregnant and I hated it. At first I had a cold then it turned into a flu and then a persisting cough that only God remembers how long I had it. Was I able to take any medicine? NO! January 2011, I am sick and pregnant and I still hate it. This past Saturday I totally lost my voice, in fact on Sunday I couldn't even communicate with my family. My voice has made a comeback, but I am still sick and I've been thinking about going to the doctor, but I'm almost 100% sure that she'll tell me, "You're pregnant, you can't take any medicine." So, I think I might as well stay at home and stay warm and let it pass. I hate it. Cough, cough.

Ok, so I haven't posted in what seems like an eternity, but I have a good reason! Hahaha don't we always have a good reason? Here's my reason, actually thinking about it, I have 2 reasons!! First, I am pregnant, today at 13 weeks and believe it or not I have a computer aversion, crazy, right? I really believe that this baby will not like technology as much as Izzie does. In fact, my 2nd reason for not blogging or even getting near my computer is because at the sight of the computer, Izzie immediately wants to watch Elmo videos and sometimes I just hate it. It almost seems like an addiction! Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little, but since I can't stand the sight of my or any computer at the moment, it seems like an addiction to me. This pregnancy is sooooo different from my first one. With Izzie I felt nothing, it was a perfect pregnancy, whereas with this pregnancy I have nausea and horrible insomnia and I get tired as soon as I wake up!! It's just a different pregnancy. We've been telling Izzie that Mommy has a baby inside and she's sweet, she will kiss my tummy. She wants to see my "What to Expect when you're Expecting" book everyday and requests to see the baby. All of the sudden she sees babies everywhere. This coming Friday I go for a check up, we'll see if maybe we can see the baby's gender...
