No No #1: Skipping Dinner
We got back to our hotel in Oahu on our last night there and instead of getting cleaned up and going out for a nice dinner (as planned) we both fell asleep on the sofa and didn't wake up until 11:30pm. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal ... except for the pregnancy. Apparently, when your blood sugar levels are too low while pregnant, you take on a drunken dizzy feeling. Who knew?! That was the worst feeling I have had so far and I will NEVER go without a meal - no matter how tired I am - ever again.
No No #2: Booking Fun Boat Trips
I officially feel like an outcast freak. There is only one outfit on the island who will take me on their boat as a pregnant person. I tried to explain to everyone that I'm only 9 weeks, but the general response to that was "well, we just don't want to deal with the liability" Geesh!
No No #3: Being Around Emotional People
I never would have guessed one could cry so easily at the sight of others misfortunes or sadness. There have been multiple occasions on this trip where I have either cried because of others or had to fight back tears to prevent looking like the emotional wreck I clearly am. Even when we were at Pearl Harbor... I should have been ecstatic that we got the last two tickets for the last showing of the USS Arizona of the day, but instead I must have had a sad look because the men at the counter said, "gee, you don't even look happy about this". And all I could think of were the people in line behind us who were going to be disappointed.
The photo is one I took on June 18th (9 weeks, 4 days)... there is a little bit of bump starting to form. :)
