So clearly a lot has gone on since the last post in February. Fiona made her fashionably early arrival on the 28th of March, and it's been a wonderful whirlwind of chaos and magic since then. Looking back on my last entry, I can completely understand why others (on FB) promised that I'd have nothing to worry about, in terms of developing an ( Read more... )

I think I need to choose to believe in magic again. I feel like for the past two years or so I've convinced myself that, in life, shitty things happen and you deal with it and you move on; this has been beneficial in getting through the shitty parts...but with that mindset came the death of magic. The shitty stuff was less shitty because it was ( Read more... )

Had a creepy dream last night where I went to the Dr for an ultrasound and instead of a normal one they could do something where they actually popped the baby out for a few minutes, checked her out, and then put her back in. For some reason this wasn't ridiculously painful, and what I remember most about the visit was being concerned that (a) the ( Read more... )

I love seeing that as the tagline of someone's signature on a baby blog just now. I will totally have to use that on FB when we announce to the world--which will probably be this Friday ( Read more... )

So today I went to a pre-natal yoga class, figuring that it would be safer than doing a standard yoga in case there were any bends or poses that I shouldn't be attempting (even at 9 weeks). The class had 4 other women in it, most of which were OMG pregnant (and one of which was currently experiencing labor pains), so it left me feeling a little ( Read more... )

I miss band way too much right now =( I was just looking at the powerandclass.info pics from this year's band camp, and even though I barely know the names of any of the current bandos, seeing the familiar scenes of registration and marching drills just reminded me of that *feeling*...and you only get that feeling if you've been in band--the UMass ( Read more... )

If you know me, you know I love food. I will always break the ice at a party by being the first one to open a bag of chips or disturb the perfectly arranged line of cheese and crackers, because food is freakin' awesome ( Read more... )

Feeling a little more pregnant this week. Last night I basically woke myself up in pain every time I rolled any farther than strictly on my side because my chest was so sore =( I may start wearing a sports bra to bed to see if that helps things any ( Read more... )

When I was 14 years old my first taste of what high school would be like was in my first days of Band Camp in the week before school started. It was that week when I learned where all my classes would be, when I was forewarned that there was no swimming pool on the 3rd floor, and when I was claimed by a Junior flute player (quite literally--I can ( Read more... )

I really hope that no one uses this as their sole source of information about my life, because I fail miserably at keeping this thing posted with even the most important information. Facebook has really taken LJ's place ( Read more... )
