Miscellaneous J

[judecorp]

1. Jen and I went downtown to meet up with freedumryde today. We had some delicious beverages at Haymarket and then late lunch at Viva Fresh Pasta. My food (cheese tortellini with a sauce of 1/2 tomato, 1/2 alfredo) was the serious YOM. Good times.

2. Jen and I set out on the tedious task of finding me something to wear to (don't laugh) a black-tie wedding reception in two weeks. I thought I was going to die, for real. But I ended up finding this sparkly freaking GOWN and it's quite nice... and stretchy enough and the waist is high enough that unless something really wacky happens should still fit fine in two weeks. Best of all? That bad boy is a size 10!

3. But I still hate the mall.

4. Totally had sex today for the first time since I was about 6w pregnant. Which was NINE WEEKS AGO, people! *dies*

5. This means, of course, that it's been about a week and a half with no bleeding or spotting to speak of. Still scared to jinx anything, but it seems over after that major bleed-out at 12w.

6. Jen got a new shirt for the wedding, too... and she's going to wear her fancy black suit and she will look teh sexxxxxxxxy. Hot.

7. Former coworkers come tomorrow, stacy will be in town tomorrow, catching up with Eryn & Amy for a bit on Monday, and best of all, NO WORK! Awesome.

O NOES NINE WEEKS

You know that when you're close to term, great sex is a great way to get labor going or keep it moving along (provided your water hasn't broken; in that case your vagina is OFF LIMITS; I'd even tell them to keep internal exams to a minimum). All the oxytocin from orgasms makes for better contractions :)

I hate looking for clothes and worse trying them on. whooppeee on the sex cause nine weeks is quite a while to go without,but not so bad if it means a healthy baby in the end

Congrats on finding a dress! Geez, I can never find anything good. In fact, I decided four years ago that the dress I did manage to find after shopping for two weeks and going to countless stores -- for a wedding is now my official "wedding" dress. I have worn the same dress to at least 7 different weddings to date.

Sex starts labor

[(Anonymous)]

I tested the 'sex starts labor' theory a ton and I was still a week late.
But, hopefully you'll be feeling good in the next few months because sex in the second trimester rocks! I had placenta previa with my first and was off-limits. It was such a bummer! Hopefully this one (I'm about as far along as you) will go smoother. We'll see!

Yay sex! I wonder if you'll find it uber-good while pregnant, as I have. As much as pregnancy has sucked, it has been worth it just for the orgasms, haha! I don't know what the deal is, but everything feels better!
