For the rest of ya, let's talk about sex for a second. I was reading a section in What to Expect..blah blah. It starts out by saying something like "sorry ladies, pregnancy is not an excuse to not have sex". Which made me laugh. When I got off the B.C. I remember being kind of shocked at the return of my sex drive. I hadn't realized how long it had been gone or how much it had dwindled from what it was a decade ago
Once the plus sign showed up, I wasn't sure what to expect. What would happen now? Obviously the first few weeks not much was different with me, but as a reward to Andy for being such a good sport the previous year and change I thought I had better give him a little break. But 17-year-old Natalie was still in there. After a while I was ready to get back to it. Now things were more fun, there was no temp monitoring leading to mandatory sex or laying there for 15 minutes not getting up to pee or shower. This sex was better. Not just more fun, but better. I would equate it to the difference between a donut and a creme brulee. I would never turn down either, but one is definitely the superior dessert...Great now I want Creme Brulee. I am not too sure how much to tell you here people, but let's just say my visits to O-town are more frequent and more fun.
But I am starting to think maybe the sex drive is getting a little out of hand. First of all, it is invading my dreams. My dreams have become so vivid and real that it actually feels like I am living them. It started a few nights ago when I dreamed we went to an adult store to spice some things up. I woke up trying to remember exactly where the store was in the city. Then last night's dream took the cake. I woke up at 4 am this morning trying to figure out why that one wasn't really happening. I checked the clock. Weighed the consequences of waking Andy up after he had been up late working on his final projects and presentations for this week. Then I decided it would be better just to try to get back to sleep. Good luck with that. I couldn't stop thinking about my dream. What on earth am I going to do? I feel like eventually I will turn into Kevin Spacey's character in American Beauty. Eventually Andy is going to wake up to find me taking care of business and I will have to pretend I am not a crazy sex addict. But to be perfectly honest I am not the least bit sad about this newest pregnancy development.
LOL... this is the best news I've heard in the past year about pregnancy. I've actually heard that O's happen more when you're knocked up, and O DREAMS (yes, apparently those exist!!!!) are also more common. Lucky lucky you. :) I can't wait until it's spontaneous hot sex instead of "I AM GOING TO O WITHIN THE NEXT 12-36 HOURS" sex. :)
ReplyDeleteand i'm assuming you knew the different in those two "O"s :)
ReplyDeleteAhhh......I so know how you feel. It's like it's a job now that we're "trying". Oh yeah, and AS WE WERE DRIVING to Canada for our vacation, my bitchy Aunt Flo came! Yeah, I knew it would happen, but I figured we had at least a DAY or TWO of vacation to have crazy animal sex....not so much. Stupid Aunt Flo and not being able to "time" her visits with my wondrous BC pills.... Sometimes I hate that bitch!
ReplyDeleteAHAHAHAHAHA, I love you're take on things, and I don't even feel bad for not warning you, but I have to admit that "pregnancy dreams" equate strongly to me with "EXTREMELY VIVID sex dreams" It is totally normal, and I think it's the universe's way of amping things up before the baby comes along and disturbs things (for just a little while...I hope...sex is important in relationships). Anyways, I'm pretty sure I did have a big "O" during a couple of the dreams, crazy, kinda miss that...I mean...how weird! KEEP HAVING SEX (as long as everything is healthy)...those are good hormones in your system and the best way to prep for a shorter labor. (we'll chat about such things more in a more formal environment relatively soon) Lol, love ya, glad you are willing to talk about such things :)
ReplyDeleteOh MAN do I miss sex! Glad you are getting lots and lots of it lady! :)
ReplyDeleteOh just wait til the end, that's when it was the WORST for me. I was crazed!
ReplyDeletegodammit, i miss sex. This Biscuit's stale girl, STALE.
Ha, this post cracked me up! Glad to hear you are still gettin busy though!
ReplyDeletehaha - when I was on the Nuva Ring my sex drive vanished! When I went off it returned with a florish and now that I'm KU I'm usually too tired to even try, even if I want it! Hopefully the second tri will let me wake up a bit!
