Thir­teen days till the “due date”.  Thir­teen days that I’m sure will feel like thirty.  We are stick­ing close to home these last cou­ple weeks, it only makes sense, but it does add to my cagey, doing noth­ing but wait­ing feel­ing.  As always though, good peo­ple sur­round me.
My mother and sis­ter have called with kind words […]

Sher­man and I aren’t big dri­vers.  There are numer­ous rea­sons for this…the car…the other drivers…currently the fact that I am a space case and am not allowed to drive right now.  I’m sure we will start to drive more often…but in the mean­time I’ll stay parked.  I did crack up when I saw this though…
I […]

The Dr. said that every­thing looks great.  Honestly…although com­forted and happy about this I was hop­ing for a bit more.  Maybe some­thing along the lines of “Good Lord woman we need to get you to the hos­pi­tal now!  You are hav­ing this baby!”.  No such luck.  Ah well, this is the way it goes right? 
Really, […]

Dolls scare me.  Stuffed ani­mals, fine, dolls…especially the baby sized ones, or ones with exager­ated fea­tures just give me the willies.  I know this may become and issue if Comma is a girl but maybe if I’m lucky…
I just see these creepy lit­tle faces with eyes that don’t shut.  Painted on faces, it’s kind of like […]

I hung the mobile this morn­ing.  I thinks it’s awe­some.  I espe­cially like the way the mon­keys are help­ing out…
Seri­ously though, its per­fect, the height is adjustable and the mon­keys con­trol it all!  Wahoo!  for mon­keys!
Ok. Yes I’m a bit punchy I know.  The bags are packed, the room is ready, just wait­ing on the kiddo now.

I’m going a bit stir crazy…
Since Fri­day I have been expe­ri­enc­ing every pre-labor symp­tom in the book…well four books actually…four books and numer­ous web­sites.  My body seems to be say­ing ok…it’s about show­time!  But then turns into a Diva, dives into it’s trailer and demands water. 
On one hand, I’m glad.  We have a lot of […]

No. I haven’t had the baby yet.    What I have been doing is being hor­ri­bly lazy.  Like Sher­man told me the other day that I might want to put on some­thing other than my paja­mas since I would prob­a­bly live in them later.
I know that…I knew that…I had been in nor­mal clothes ear­lier, I […]

So I have this thing for blue­grass music lately.  Sher­man laughs at me…for example…the fol­low­ing con­ver­sa­tion
Me– “1952 Vin­cent Black Light­en­ing” , Del McCoury Band I just heard this song  I love it

Sher­man– Nice. Write it down somewhere

Sher­man– “Red Hair and Black Leather. My favorite color scheme”
Me– I LOVE IT! They took it down to […]

Real quick here.…
I have been watch­ing “A baby story” and “Bring­ing home baby”.  It’s good for me   They have taught me that women do give birth with­out turn­ing into mon­sters all of the time, that nobody really knows what to do with a new­born but they sur­vive, and that every­body gets a lit­tle nuts […]

Yes­ter­day I man­aged to drive out to Shakopee to drop the motor off.  Last year we were using the boat motor that decided to go kaputz…
Need­less to say we don’t live in an area where boat motor repair shops are every other block.  So…to Shakopee.   The woman at the counter was very nice…but the place […]
