Seriously tired of this no sleeping bit.  Was sleeping intermittently last night when at 3:16am all the acid in my stomach made an impromptu visit to my throat - kind of like the whole swallowing the wrong way but in the opposite direction kind of thing.  woke up with a start, managed to get myself breathing normally again, and then couldn't sleep ( Read more... )

Baby shower #1 was at work yesterday - I was oddly nervous about it all morning (probably due to my uncomfortableness with being the centre of attention), but it ended up being fine.  Fun actually.  I won all the games (the very ones that I hate playing) actually legitimately, so that was kind of fun, and I ended up getting ( Read more... )

No matter what I do, why oh why can't I get my house clean?

When you show up to fight a traffic ticket, knowing you're sort of guilty, but had a REALLY good reason for being sort of guilty, and then the officer doesn't show up, so it's all withdrawn :)

• Barely 9 weeks to go - WTF?
• Baby furniture showed up on Saturday ... I was unaware of how tiny that room actually is ... but the furniture is giant - and well made - she'll have it for a long time.

Why oh why is my baby playing hide and seek mind games with me?  I tried to NOT be the hysterical pregnant lady by ignoring that I haven't really felt her moving around since Tuesday, but this morning I gave into full fledged panic and called my OB, who suggested I go to the hospital, which just freaked me out even more.  Because her office doesn't ( Read more... )

I'm watching Toddlers and Tiara's - mostly because my converter seems to have died since I turned the tv on, and changing the channel would require getting up.  This is the most fucking ridiculous show I've ever seen.  No, seriously.  What the hell are these mothers turning their little girls into.

That's really all I have to say.

1.  I've felt the baby start kicking.  Apparently the placenta is in front, so it's taken awhile longer to feel movement.  And because I can't feel anything in front, I feel these little hands and feet at the extremities - it's pretty weird feeling, but cool at the same time.  Still barfing, and feet have started swelling - the charming parts of ( Read more... )

I'm sitting here, alone in the Purple Palace, for the last time.  Tomorrow we have to give back the keys to the landlord - so I figured I should come by tonight and just ... be ( Read more... )
