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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

It’s offi­cial.  I have reached the stage in preg­nancy where I just kinda want to be done.  I feel fat, ugly, tired, and uncom­fort­able.  The grand design was pretty smart at hav­ing a 9 month ges­ta­tion time…much more than that and women would say “screw it”.  I’ve slept like crap the past two nights, and […]

Today I found out that my Dr.s are gone.  Yup straight out of the movies, my OB has left the coun­try, the other one no longer works for the clinic, and the “stand in” is on vaca­tion. (with all of this in mind I’m imag­in­ing Comma will decide to pop out at any moment)  So […]

This morn­ing I wanted to kill him when I found him chew­ing a but­ton off of my blue chair.   When I got home I was mad at him for being in the moses bas­ket…
But he was just too cute to move…
This must be what hav­ing kids is like…

My first response, out loud, to my sis­ter get­ting a Wii was “Awwww…bitch!”  I know, it’s imma­ture, but I wanted a Wii first!  She has a house!  She was a (newer) car!  She had the first baby!  I want the Wii…I want it I want it I want it!.…Ok…so none of that has any­thing to […]

I’m glad I wont be preg­nant in the dead of sum­mer.  The “oh my God, it’s so hot I cant breath” of sum­mer, the “I know its a dec­o­ra­tive pond…I don’t care I’m div­ing in any­way” of sum­mer.  I should be done before it gets REALLY nasty out. 
Many women I know have said they’d rather […]

My twen­ties are offi­cially over.  Lot’s of stuff rolls through my head when I think about that.  A LOT hap­pened in my twen­ties.  I wont even attempt to list them.  The past sev­eral years have changed my life for­ever, in the very best of ways, but I don’t need to go over that all.  In […]
