It was a good weekend, we had a bunch of friends and family in town for Patrick's 30th birthday - Medieval Times. It was a great time with everyone here and just watching how excited the guys got over it all! I mean, you would have thought they were at the Superbowl! Patrick had a great time, he thinks were doing Medieval Times for my 30th (2 years away)! He must have pregnancy brain, too. But with inflation and % of income at that point - hes going to throw me an even better one. HAHAH! Just kidding, kinda. ;)
Some of Patrick's best friends came in from NYC for the Medieval extravaganza! Most of them left Sunday but we had the pleasure of hanging out with Jeff & Sadia for another couple days! Which leads to a couple funny stories - theres always a funny story when Jeff is involved. Well, every Sunday Patrick and I read 'this weeks' chapter on our pregnancy. It just so happened Jeff was over and we suggested he read aloud to us! Mind you, some of this stuff I don't even want to read. Lol. Well, he starts and first its all very informational and basic - baby is the size of a softball this week, skin layer is thin and you can see the veins, etc. Then to the good stuff - weight gain, breast tenderness, and even pap smears. The whole room was dying laughing, it was hard to be serious when the wild one of the bunch is talking about a woman's body and its changes!
Speaking of changes, my taste-buds have changed on me too. Last night we went to dinner to celebrate Sadia and Jeff's 3 year anniversary and I ordered, my favorite Filet Oscar at a DC Steakhouse. Well it came out cooked to perfection, perfectly pink! I took one bite, just couldn't wait for the taste to hit my buds! And gag-me! It was like someone milked a dead donkey and dumped it on my beautiful 8oz chunk of meat! I was like - whats going on, they trying to poison me!!? Patrick tasted it said it tastes good! I wanted to cry, why me?! Why didn't it taste good to me? I wanted to go Real Housewives of NJ and flip my table I was so disappointed. So after the waiter came by a time or two - i had to ask for them to make me a plain one. When the waiter came back with my steak, Jeff shouted "SHES PREGNANT!" The gentleman laughs and tells me to enjoy. As he walks away, Jeff said "Someone had to say it!" haha! It was hilarious. Needless to say, I have a feeling I'm going to be a bit more high maintenance than normal for the next 5 months! Oh no, watch out friends. Good thing you can drink..
Speaking of drinking.. So you know I have to drink like 12 glasses of water daily, which count it - its hard! So my bladder which is small anyway, is constantly knocking on my door telling me to go pee! It really inconveniences my day! And now this little bebe is getting bigger, size of a softball, its harder to hold it in. Which is why this next story is quite understandable although embarrassing. But I thought for all of you ladies that will have babies in the future or soon, you're not alone.
So after a long days work of drinking like 8 glasses of water, I have to drink 4 in the evening when i'm trying to relax. Well I got all ready for bed, and even peed prior to going to sleep. Well I have this thing about going to the bathroom in the middle of the night - i get really scared lately. So if I have to pee, i hold it until Patrick gets up for the bathroom and as hes climbing out of the bed i bolt there first - so hes awake in case the boogy man gets me. He gets annoyed, but at least I can pee and go back to bed with peace of mind. Well the other night, I woke up having to pee and thought "why hasn't he gone yet! UGH" So i fell back asleep, until I felt a little warmth on my leg and realized I was peeing the bed! I SHOT UP and ran to the bathroom - yelling at myself the whole time! Well I ran back and changed my shorts and hopped into bed! MORTIFIED, this is what pregnancy is like!? Im peeing myself now? Thankfully, Patrick didn't seem to wake up in the midst of all this. So the next morning, hes like "what happened last night, you jumped out of bed!?" I was bent on not sharing the episode with him, cause he gets grossed out so easily. When he grilled me until finally I blurted out "I peed the bed babe!!" Of course he goes into full disgust mode, typical male. And then we laugh - Haha.
So since then I have learned my lesson, and have not been waiting until he gets up to pee, but i do something else that grosses him out - evidently. Well when i wake up, i peek my head out the door down our hallway to the bathroom. If it's clear, no gremlins or monsters I sprint there and use the rest room. Well when im done, I get so scared Im going to flush and somethings going to pop out of the shower or toilet and catch me that I refrain. This way they will expect me to flush and by the time they realize im not there, ill be back in bed with my head under the covers. (They = figments of my pregnant imagination) Well Patrick has been waking up and now calls me into flush the toilet before he can pee - which i dont mind cause then at least he can fight off the monster if he comes out! Needless to say, it's surely been a time of laughs. I laugh, Patrick not so much - which makes me laugh more. :)
Something that we can agree to laugh on, now that is - I am a Cermak so I am irritable by nature. It's not something I can control and I really do try to fight it - sometimes it just can be contained. Well since pregnancy its been quite worse at times. So the other week Patrick and I were watching my show, Revenge. We have one TV so we alternate our tv nights. So I had to record and now Im watching it a day or so later. Its called compromise ;) So as I get home from a long days work and make dinner for us, we eat, we clean up I finally sit down to relax and watch my shows. Well Patrick was making his lunch, while doing so decided to make himself a plate of celery and cream cheese - he has weird cravings now - I think im contagious. So he sits down and is CRUNCHING on the celery, i gave him a look - it was a warning that my crazy is about to come out. He continued to eat the celery, so i yelled "GO EAT THAT IN THE BEDROOM!", well if you know anything about Patrick and I you know we like to do things that annoy the other for laughs and our own guilty pleasure. You can deny you do it to your spouse/partner but we all do it from time to time. So he walks slowly in front of the tv, crunching even louder and it was like i was turning into the hulk. My skin was going green and i was about to go bizurk, i threw my cell phone at him and he picked it up and laughed and ran to the bedroom. It was his evil plan and it worked. Needless to say, after chasing him into the bedroom and him having me jumping up and down trying to reach it from his hand which was held directly above his head - my inner hulk had subsided and i invited him back into the living room - of course celery was not welcome. F-U celery.
So a couple days later, we are sitting at the dinning room table and he in all seriousness says just feet across from me - "You know what i was thinking today?" (I was instantly like 'oh gosh..') And he continues "You should wake up every morning and look over to me and say 'Im sorry for the crazy things I will say and do today!'" I looked at him, again containing my inner hulk - realizing he must be kidding. And i respond "You should wake up every morning and say to me 'I forgive you for anything you may say or do today because you are carrying my baby for 9 months and your body and mind arent what they used to be'" Basically, we agreed to disagree, and later had a good laugh.
Needless to say, there is going to be a lot more laughs and good & surely embarrassing stories to come. But in all seriousness, laughs aside Patrick and I are so very excited for Baby Brady. He is amazing and supportive during this time and I am very lucky to share a family with him. In addition, we are extremely thankful to have soo many friends and family being supportive and sharing this time with us. We love you, thank you!
xoxox,
Patrick's baby-mama ;)
