Diary of a Crazy Pregnant Lady

I have officially entered the weird zone of pregnancy. Actually, I think most of the things I've been experiencing would probably happen to me anyway - it's just now that I can blame them on pregnancy :-)
First, belts. I have recently discovered that women-belts are not nearly as cool as man-belts. First of all woman-belt buckles have a way higher chance of being really ugly. But the coolest thing is that man-belts can be reversible. Sandy has this great belt that is brown on one side and black on the other.....um, can we say amazing? Woman-belts don't do that. You just have to buy two belts. I have recently found myself in need of a maternity belt seeing as none of mine fit (another thing I'm blaming on pregnancy :-) Unfortunately for poor Sandy, his belt is perfect. Needless to say, Sandy still needed his belt and I am the proud new owner of a reversible man-belt. I may never go back!

Ok, so that's just a quirky thing. My week got weirder...or at least I did.

On Tuesday at about 1:30, I looked at my hands and realized that the finger joints and thumbs of both hands had turned blue...yeah...blue. So, being the social butterfly with hypochondriac tendencies that I am, I talked to everybody at work. "Have you ever seen blue finger joints? "I wonder why my hands are blue?" Nobody at school had heard of blue hands as a side effect of pregnancy. My OB's office told me to call my general practitioner. My general practitioner couldn't get me in and told me to go to Urgent Care. The thought of waiting at Urgent Care for six hours just to say, "Um, my hands turned blue today," was not all that appealing. When I got home from work, my hands were still blue, but seeing as they did not hurt I decided to wait until the next day just to see what happened. The next day? My fingers weren't blue anymore........oh what had I been wearing? A new pair of dark wash jeans. Yup, my fingers were blue from the pockets of my new pants. I'm a dork.

LOL...that is hilarious, mostly because it's something I could totally see myself doing too. Even without preganancy.
