Genki desu!

I have been surprisingly energetic since MiniMc pitched a tent in my womb.
A question I get a lot is “How’s work”, said with a terribly concerned air, as if the rigours of an office job are enough to send any pregnant woman to the couch and into the arms of Rikki Lake and Geoff Janz cooking shows.
Truth is, work’s great. When I had the 24/7 sickness, my colleagues managed to distract me so that I didn’t need to barf all over them. I wasn’t grumpy or churlish at anyone as long as I got my 45 minute nap in the afternoon (we have a basement “Breakout” space where we can go to meditate, sleep etc. etc. – working for a Bank is really quite dandy…).
Second trimester, the genki-trimester, is not letting me down either. I go for a half-hour walk every day at lunchtime, through the streets of Melbourne, and have a 10 minute power-nap at my desk. I do fade around 5p.m though, but then I am quite quite busy making eyelashes and toenails and dealing with all that wee swishing around in womb, you know…
Have also started buying baby “stuff” for MiniMc and I gotta tell ya, I’m dead sick of looking at yellow. Makes me want to find out for sure what sex we’re having (no, I’m not going there…) so I can get sick of looking at blue or pink for a change. We want it to be a surprise, but I really don’t think I have the consumer strength for it.
Permanent Link | - purple or green are nice alternatives to yellow when you’re talking baby items :) maybe you should send me your address and i’ll knit you up a little something for minimc. i’d be honored to do so!
(baby knits are so fast and fun! i’ve been meaning to do a bunch of them but need people to give them to. you fit the bill, for sure!)
