There is a toothless platypus-like mass of a dog asleep on my lap. Wake up, Lola. I'm typing extra hard to see if it wakes her. No. Ok.
The thing I miss most about not being pregnant is being able to move furniture around. We've been doing some changes around here and all I did was say "that goes here" or "that goes there", and it's not as fun as it sounds. I don't like to wait for The Husband to get home so I can move stuff. Well, the good part is I haven't taken out the trash in about four months.
So today I moved the only thing I can move. A table, with wheels. So basically I just wheeled it to another room. But I decorated a little too. Take a look:

There's a mammoth in my terrarium!
Andi is 29 today. Twenty nine years young. I say young because, well, I feel young, and because some weeks ago I was talking to the Duque, and I said something about my adult life and he basically laughed in my face saying I wasn't an adult yet! Not even because I was 28 (at which age he had been married 7 years and had two kids), or even because I've lived away from home for a decade, been married four years and am going to be a mother! Gee... thanks, dad!
But I imagine this is just how it is, and how it will be. We'll always be our parents' little kids in some form or another. Like my mother-in-law, who still asks if her son brushed his teeth. Right, like I would have married someone who didn't brush his teeth. Anyway...
So, yeah, I'm old(er) and I like to think a little bit wiser. Just a little bit. A bit is fine with me.
I momentarily forgot the name of my blog. What's wrong with me? Must be the pregnancy. I'm blaming everything on the pregnancy now. Forgetful? It's the pregnancy. Hungry? It's the baby. Haven't taken out the trash? Sorry, I can't carry heavy loads. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!
So, my dad, El Duque, my faithful reader, is disappointed because I haven't written anything in more than a month. I said it's because I can't think of anything to write (But, really, it's the pregnancy). So he gave me two topics to write among myself. I think I'll start today with the easy one.
Hiccups
I get loud hiccups. I mean, really loud hiccups. Really loud hiccups that last for hours. I have learned to make them go away through breathing techniques. Don't ask me how I do it, but it works. It is all in your head, really. I only use this when I am in public, 'cause when I'm at home I don't really care, it makes me laugh. When I was younger, I didn't know how to control my hiccups, so there I went, hiccuping away, and not really caring. Until... UNTIL... one day, an older cousin, who used to visit us every summer, and I went shopping, or rather, she took me along, and I was bored. We were at the mall when suddenly I got the hiccups, and I hadn't realized this could cause shame until she started hiding from me in stores! She didn't want to be seen next to the girl with the unnecessarily loud hiccups! So I did what any rational preteen would do. I followed her around and right after every hiccup, I yelled "Alice, stop it with the hiccups, Alice, have you no shame?", so everyone would think it was her with the hiccups. Ahhh, good times.
Stay tuned for the next topic: The Day I Realized I Was Not Made for Public Speaking.
Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I've been kind of pregnant and sleepy, very very sleepy. We didn't want to tell the whole world yet, but every time I attempted to write a post, the only thing I could think of writing was about the pregnancy, so I desisted.
So now that the word is out, I can write again! I'm freeee!
I haven't been very crafty lately, either, what with all the sleeping I do. But I have plans for new things. New baby related things and other non baby related things for the shop, lest I keep everything for myself! I also have to crochet a blanket for my nephew, who's due in August.
So that's about it for now. Soon I'll show you progress pics.
