The Art of The Fine Crema

[bushwalker]

The brief was to have a spring baby - Kahlil was born in winter, Hamish was born in autumn and Christmas is in summer. I sure as hell didn’t want to be pregnant in summer again and have strangers in the supermarket approach me with their condolences. “Why thank you! I’m glad I look as tired and bloated as all that!”… But I probably did. :o( So

Yeah, we thought it would be fun to PLAN a kid for once. Too bad I got pregnant about a week or so after taking my last pill. You're doomed! Just kidding! Sorry you feel so rotten. I always enjoyed "but I'm pregnant" as an excuse to get out of stuff like extra house work or difficult social events. So slack off while you can, sister!

Yes get pregnant, come to Melbourne and we can loll about on the beach like whales. People will stop by and pour cooling sea water over us.

Sorry if it was TMI. I did run that risk with this post didn't I? :op *blushes*

Amen to that! At least my christmas shopping is done. Oh well, 5 weeks or so and I should start feeling a bit better.

virtual nod...

virtual offer to virtually clean up your house.

heh heh... wish someone would cleab up mine :(

look forward to that stage in pregnancy when you don't feel green anymore and get horny as hell. i like that bit :)

well, women have managed to pop em out for years. although at the expense of their hair and teeth...

that's a shame you don't get that bit... maybe this time :)

[bushwalker]

At the cost of much more than hair and teeth! I think of Charles Dickens wife who grew portly, suffered post natal depression (having babies every 1-2 years) and was eventually dumped by her husband for a younger bimbo and he then claimed custody of the kids and wouldn't let her even see them! She was totally ruined by childbearing and didn't even get to enjoy her kids in the end. Imagine all the months of boring confinement women used to have to endure when you couldn't see anyone. All the miscarriages and still births and maternal deaths that were suffered. Imagine not knowing when you'd fall pregnant again and all the fear of death involved with each time. We are so lucky to be in the here and now!

I knew coffee was good. Now we have to find a reason why women need to drink it, but then I don't really need a reason!

[bushwalker]

The reason is intrinsically there. But alas I am lost to coffee at the moment. It's just amazing how suddenly your biochemical response does a violent turn around and while I can enjoy the smell of coffee (ahhh!) and adore the idea of it, if I take a sip it does nothing for me like it once did.
