Week 9 - Day 1 ~ belly curiosity

how do i feel:


so alas i have a cold....yuck.  i have a stuffy, runny nose and a soar throat (well at least the right side is soar?).  i have gargled with some warm salt water and hope that i will sleep tonight.  lately i have been having such strange vivid dreams and i have been waking up every 2 hours or so from them only to return to sleep to have more strange dreams.  honestly i haven't had dreams like this since i tried to quit smoking when i was in college and wore patches to bed....yes it is a side effect.  oh and i quite smoking five years ago without the patch :)  how odd that when i googled it apparently vivid dreams are a side effect of pregnancy...lol go figure.  i really should sleep with a pad and paper next to my bed.....looks around....too lazy to get up maybe tomorrow...smirks.


eating:


lets see today i started my day off with oj and an old fav multigrain bagel with cream cheese.  i had a chix salad wrap for lunch with some chips ( a really late lunch like around 4) and finished off the night with some watermelon.  couldn't really find it in me  to eat anything else.  note to self need more veggies!  


other:


as i looked down at my belly today i was thinking....hum.... what is going to happen with my belly ring.  i have had it since i was a teenager and don't really want to part with it.  after reading some stories it appears that there are some options.  first off you may not need to take it out to begin with.  some women state that leaving it in increases stretch marks around it....others have circular rings with more give.  mine is a bar bell and a pretty tight one at that.  still holding....but i don't think it will last the whole pregnancy. after some research it appears i will have to buy a "pregnancy" belly ring...giggles.  however some do believe if you have had it for as long as i have it will just stay...shrugs.....maybe i will buy a ring in case. however they are a bit scary looking.....really....and of course there are too many choices.  i looked into this site maternity piercing ...and here are some i found (retention may be the way to go for me....unless i find something in well black with skulls....lol):


the fancy belly (way too fancy)













the indicator belly ( i think this is a little too much for me)










the xtra long belly (hummm this looks like something i could floss with lol)










and the retention belly (probably the best for me)
