Allrighty then. I woke up about 2pm and my athsma was worse. Not as bad as last Thursday but still I'm sucking wind so to speak. I have an appointment w/ Dr. Krishna this evening anyway.

I left the house at my normal time to go to work, got into a hacking fit, pissed myself, so I drove back home to change my clothes. Ah, the sweet mysteries, bliss, and euphoria of pregnancy! How icky.

While I changed, Jon googled for info on pregnancy and pants-wetting. After adjusting his search to weed out the umpteen-billion porn sites, he found this blog by a pregnant woman. She's in her 38th week of pregancy and about to pop (in more ways than one). Jon says he went looking for it because he wanted me to see that many pregnant women have this problem. Well, I *know* that and it was sweet of him to try to make me feel better.

Later on (once I changed and managed to make it to work without further mishap but I coughed so hard I puked this time; thank goodness I had had nothing to eat or drink yet so I basically puked up all that phlegm I had been coughing - am I making you sick? Sorry), Jon emailed me that he was a lucky man, because he read more of that woman's blog and he said "she is a raving lunatic, her husband must be scared to death". Bless his heart - I'm only at 18 weeks! We'll see how psycho I get 3 - 4 months from now, muahahaha!

The most fun blog I've read about pregnancy/baby stuff is one that Nancy links to: Dooce's blog is great. She has had her kid allready and she has posted a great deal about poop. Well worth perusing!

Anyways, like the little baby counter at the top of my blog? It was too handy/cute to pass up.

I took a picture of my belly, but some pictures are too scary to post.

I have 2 new links if you look. One is to the only political blog that I really like. He's slightly to the right, somewhat of a small l libertarian on many issues, and loves to post recipes and other non-political stuff. And he's a real blogger, in the sense that most of his voluminous entries are links to interesting stuff on the web.

The other is to my brother Ed's new blog. I'm making it a permanent link in the hope that I can shame him into keeping this one up.
