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 [...]
Well, my shower ROCKED! Big shout out to Wendy over at Southern Mom, my sister, my friend Cyndie, and my cousin. These girls know how to throw a party! Everyone really liked the “open shower” concept–apparently its all the rage according to the hipster crowd. So we were all pleased to be on the cutting [...]
This post started out being about yesterday’s adventures, but a digression in that post took so long, I deleted the stuff I did yesterday. I’ll put that in a separate post. Instead, let me write about what is really on my mind. My Baby Shower is today. Two friends (one being Southern Mom) and my [...]
I had my first Non-Stress Test (NST) today to monitor Sun’s heart rate. The doctor was very pleased, which, in turn, means we were very pleased. Earlier this week, we had an ultrasound done which indicated I have an “old placenta”–one that looks 42 weeks old and not 32 weeks. So now the doctors want [...]
The one thing I get told over and over being pregnant is, “Enjoy your sleep NOW.” Then there is usually a knowing snicker. This statement makes me grind my teeth. As it is, I am a very light sleeper. If the cat jumps on the bed, it wakes me up; if CS snores, I’m awake; [...]
Nine weeks. That’s the time I have left to become “ready to be a parent.” Whatever that means. I’m fairly certain I will not get there in time. Why is this? Here’s five reasons: 1. Today I noticed Peanut playing with a packet of butter. When I questioned CS about this (he was in the [...]
Apparently I upset Karma yesterday by suggesting that having all go well was boring. Boy, do I regret that! Last night I suffered for the first time with acid reflux. I admit that I had a hot dog (okay, two) for dinner last night. I KNOW this was not healthy for Sun, but I didn’t [...]
Three hours of Lamaze, 30 minutes on the phone with a doula, and two hours of a prenatal class since Monday evening have left my brain mush–most thoughts are baby-related. Captain Sarcastic and I are exhausted. CS complained when we got to Lamaze that he’d forgotten his water gun. He had threatened to bring it [...]
