Yesterday’s mini-shopping spree was spot-on. I got those few lingering items that I will need to take to the hospital with me, including a really cool sock monkey robe–no, it isn’t MADE of sock monkeys, it’s just got a design of sock monkeys all over it. (Is it just that it is still early in [...]
That cramp in my abdomen (I guess I can call it a contraction–that just seems so weird!) returned this morning. So yet another day not at the office! Oy. I am drinking water like a fish and trying not to worry. That is hard for me to do–the no worrying thing. So to get my [...]
I wasn’t feeling well today, and all I ate was a bagel. Then this afternoon, I felt this sharp, shooting cramp in my abdomen. No biggie, I think, it’ll pass. Fifteen minutes pass, then thirty, and I am still cramping. After an hour of no relief, I call the doctor and CS and we are [...]
The OB tells me today that Sun is being scheduled for a C-section delivery on June 29th. She may come sooner, but if not (and she stays breech), we will be doing a C-section in one month (two weeks before her due date). Well, well. On the one hand, I am relieved. All this monitoring [...]
Today, after our usual Sunday morning breakfast with Southern Mom and her family, we managed to get the SM clan over to our house so SM could show me how to assemble the layers of sheets and pads on the crib. They really ought to have a class for new parents on all the baby [...]
Last night, CS and I were treated to dinner by another couple as a thank you to work CS did for them. I LOVE getting the perks of CS’s freebies! They took us to a place I hadn’t yet been–Martinique Bistro on Magazine Street. This place is so cool! It’s got a great courtyard that [...]
CS and I went to Greek Fest last night with, it seemed, the rest of New Orleans. Pete was there, and Southern Mom and her family, and many friends. We had a really good time–the weather was divine. In New Orleans, the weather can make or break an evening: last night, it made it! OPA! [...]
Here is the funniest line of questioning I’ve ever had with a doctor: Doc: Do you smoke? Me: No. Doc: Does your husband smoke? Me: No. Doc: Do you live with anyone who smokes? Me: No. Doc: Do your neighbors smoke? Me: Pardon? Do my neighbors smoke? I, I really don’t know…. Apparently being around [...]
Today, I am working on my thank you notes for my shower attendees. I am extremely appreciative of all everyone did for me. But why are thank you notes so tedious? I’ve written one (yeay!) and feel I have earned a break (thus this post). And already, I’m saying to myself, “One down, nineteen to [...]
I have become the Blueberry Girl from Willy Wonka. I feel I need to be juiced. My fingers, feet, ankles, and toes are all swollen. CS LAUGHED at my feet smushed into my shoes this morning. Ouch! My feet are so big, I accidentally kicked my desk–the dang things are getting in my way of [...]
