My hair has begun its rapid growth. It is hopeful Jared remembers what occurred when he spoke of a mustache when I was pregnant with Chao lei. I do not mind the thicker hair on my head but could live quite well without the mustache... or thicker leg hair. I love the longer nails though. I am hot all the time. I will assume it will end as quickly as last time.
By this time, Chao lei had determined I was not to eat dumplings, spices, or drink coffee. This one has not given me its preferences yet. I can easily go without spices and coffee, though I did miss them very much. Dumplings though, they are my weakness. I would get very fat very quickly if I indulge in them recklessly. I attempt to appease this baby by not overindulging in anything. I have been using less spice and limiting my coffee and drinking tea instead. The dumplings? I only hope little one enjoys them since I am unable to curtail my eating of them anymore than is necessary.
I have begun the search for a crib and nursery furniture. Remembering the effort to get my rocker to my office and my reluctance to go through that again, I will need to buy a new one. I may even allow Jared to choose the crib again, if he ever gets home.
It seems they make up for the ship missing deployment by keeping them underway. This time has only been a month so far but add that to the weeks they were gone before with only a few days at home. They have been sailing since we arrived. It would seem they believed I needed to be reminded of what sea duty really is. I am not complaining, mind you. I knew to expect this.
We will see how much of this pregnancy Jared will be present for. He was absent for most of it the last time, including the birth. Now maybe, he will learn what the rest of pregnancy means. lol
