When I saw my doctor for my monthly check up on 10/2/06 she was alarmed that my blood pressure was through the roof. I assured her that it only happened because I was held up in traffic on the way there, and started panicking that I'd be late, which is true. ( How mommy is doing )

That's my husband, alright!

We are home from the ultrasound now. I was a little disappointed that the ultrasound was not in 3D, like many (larger) hospitals offer, but that's the price you pay for living in a semi rural area ( Read more... )

Alright you guys, as some of you requested suggested I made a poll in which you get to use your sixth sense, gut instinct, rock-paper-scissors talents, magic-8-ball, or plain old arbitrary reasoning skills to show if you got what it takes to become the next Spiderman Nostradamus!

Don't be yella! Proudly declare your prediction below!

Poll You play Nostradamus

I was going to see Don Hawk today, but it looks unlikely. He is going to up and leave the entire country! I am happy for him, as he's doing this with his love, but also sad on a selfish level. It's one of those times that I could kick myself for not being with a person I care about more often, when there really was little stopping me aside from ( Read more... )

Michael did manage to snap one photo of me during the 4th of July b-b-q, but I shall not post it. All you can see from the photo is a very shiny (no, not glowing-- shining) Topaz dressed in pink and khaki. The angle doesn't show that I'm pregnant so much as "nice and round". Anyway, yes I've gained weight- about 20 pounds now, actually, but I ( Read more... )

Happy Independence Day to my fellow yanks! (And Happy Fourth Of July to everyone, because there's no denying that today is indeed, The Fouth Of July). Watch out for the drunks (even if you are one), and be safe-- but also, have a good time ( Read more... )

Topaz: the anti-pink.

I now own not one, but two pink shirts. They are not (scolding) hot pink, either. I've always owned at least one day-glo hot pink shirt so I could throw it on at random and have people actually feel compelled to discuss the fact that I own anything pink. It amused me greatly that people would always take the bait, so I ( Read more... )

People keep urging me to take pregnancy photos. Not just el-jay/ various internet people, but also r/l friends that I haven't seen (in person) in years. People that I see daily have also been asking if I've been documenting my stages of pregnancy on film for the future enjoyment of my child, and for the sake of precious memories.

The fact is, ( Read more... )

I have today off, as I requested it. It's really nice to have three days off in a row. Also, I get paid more than my hourly wage when I have PTO, which makes sense, as I make more than my hourly wage when I'm there. The silly thing is that I average more than my "time and a half" wage by taking the holiday off, so of course I have no inspiration ( Read more... )
