Mar. 30th, 2005 02:49 pmI may have gotten the EB to go to sleep. I tricked her into thinking we might go for a walk, and while I was putting on my shoes, she quieted down, and may actually be sleeping. Can't believe it, really. She also slept for large swaths of last night. Hours at a stretch. I'm not enough of a fool to think this will last. But I will enjoy it for now....
(Oooops, she's still fussing and not quite asleep.)
Not to brag - because I know I'm not supposed to - but I weighed myself yesterday, and I actually weigh about 5 pounds less than when I got pregnant. I can't believe it myself, though it actually reinforces my belief that the EB was just a little parasite, and sucked away at my inner essence throughout the pregnancy (and that is why I had such low weight gain). I am actually wearing real jeans today - they have a zipper! and pockets! and no stretchy panel! Unless you have worn maternity clothes for months on end, you cannot imagine how nice this is. These jeans were relatively loose before, and are now slightly tight - my waistline is still not quite there - but they are on my body and have been for several hours. Part of this whole weight thing may be that because I'm mostly staying in the house, I have limited access to junk food, and therefore, I'm probably eating better than my usual inclination. For the other possible reason, I will refer to last night's rerun of Sex and the City on TBS, in which Miranda realizes she fits into her skinny jeans for the first time since 1985 because as a single mother, she no longer has time to eat. Maybe it's a combination of both these elements.
Okay. I don't think the EB is asleep. But I don't want to go in her room to check, for fear I'll wake her up. :)
