It's 3:03pm and BMB has gone to work but  not after spending some much needed QT time w/ me and Emma.  He had to go mail our bills today and buy stamps and pick up some more prescriptions for his allergies, asthma, and me for some mommy wounds I acquired.  He brought Penn Station back for our lunch, I fed and changed Emma, told him he should hold ( Read more... )

In all my time I had thought I had learned something about behavior in relationships w/ the opposite sex.  i.e. intimate relationships w/ the opposite sex...the friend relationship w/ the opposite sex isn't that hard to keep intact if both parties are willing...intimate ones however, this is where it gets tricky.

So I'm a girl behaving badly, well ( Read more... )

Well, she's finally here and more lovely than I could have ever imagined.  She was born on March 23 @ 11:43pm.  She was 7lbs12oz and 21.5 inches long.  Cute as a button ;-)

And now I'm going to have a breakdown...it seems that Brandon believes that when he comes home from work he doesn't need to help w/ Emma.  Like, weekends are fine, when I was ( Read more... )

Emma Ruth may actually have a birthday tomorrow.  We met w/ the COM and he met w/ a very nice woman named Dr. Rubin who was like, the age of Doogie Hauser.  Very young.  Very up-to-date on how ppl ovulate and whatnot.  So she came to us and said, well, since your original due date would have actually been the 23rd, which is tomorrow, you should be ( Read more... )

Today I went to the dr. to see about inducing labor, since last Monday and the Monday before that I was told that we were going to be discussing this issue and still never had. Well, Kim (Brandon's mom) drove me downtown to my appt. which was to be at 1:30. At around 3:00 I was called back to pee in a cup, then I had to return to the waiting room ( Read more... )

A totally beautiful day for the first day of Spring!  I'm so excited, this means that flowers will be blooming again soon and trees will have leaves again, LoL.  It's a wee bit chilly but we're going to take Heidi and Maggie out for a walk so that they don't have to be cooped up all day.  Kim, Mark, and Janet went to Bullitt County for the day and ( Read more... )

:)  Just a waiting game at this point.  Stress test #2 went well (as far as I know, LoL) and my induction date is to be made on Monday, meaning that I may not be induced until after Monday.  Meaning there are just too many days between my due date and the actual date of her arrival for me to be fond of my dr. at this point for not taking more of an ( Read more... )

So it's the end of St. Patrick's Day and still no baby Emma...

I feel kinda bad because I got snippy w/ my grandma today.  She called yet again to ask if there were any changes in how I felt, whether or not I was going to have her today...so I said, 'Grandma, I WILL CALL YOU when I go into labor.  No way have I not made that clear.'  Yes, I ( Read more... )

What exactly does that mean?  By any means necessary.  I mean, there is an obvious connotation of honor and valor, kind of a military feel toward something, wouldn't you say?  But speaking of ones own self...would you honor and protect something, someONE you know, by any means necessary?  Would you try to make that person know you would be that ( Read more... )
