I forgot how strongly a baby can kick. Ooops.There's been a few times in the last few days the kid's kicked me and I've done that 'suck-in-my-breath-while-saying-owwwie' thing. The kid almost disabled me with a kick ye…
Okay, I'm feeling better now.Picked up dh at the airport on Saturday. For the rest of the day whenever dh went out to the garage or outside ds flipped out because he thought dh was going to leave again.My dad's surgery …
He.Won't.Go.To.Sleep.It's creeping up on 1:30am. I've been putting ds down for night since 10pm.Fed, not fed (a snack of yogurt). His bed, our bed. Sippy and no sippy. Music and no music. Lights and no lights.I'm no…
This sucks. Dh is stuck in North Carolina. His first puddle-jumper flight was delayed, and threw off everything else. So instead of flying in tonight at 10pm, he *might* be flying in tomorrow at 1pm. If things aren't…
Send me more good sleeping vibes tonight...I put ds down in his room around 11pm last night. He played for a little bit, then started fussing around 11:30. I changed his diaper, fed him yogurt, and put him down. He sn…
Well, I did vacuum the scary den while ds was down for a nap. And kept the laundry going. Which is a big thing for me. Didn't do much else, though.But I finally got ahold of dh and he talked me through the circuit bre…
Great. Just great.The house is falling apart and dh isn't here.Well, technically it's not falling apart, but kinda. This morning I noticed the outlet in the main bathroom wasn't working - we have an LED nightlight in t…
Cool. Dh and I both dig Alton's shows. Plus I am half in love with the guy because of his roasted turkey recipe that turns out fabulous every time.
There's good news and bad news.Good news - seems I've pretty much kicked that annoying cold with the hacking and such.Bad news - I now have the flu. Wtf?!?I haven't really been able to get much sleep because all of me a…
Yesterday was fun.I went out to check the mail, and there was a package for me!Aren't they pretty?And super soft, too. I'm working on clearing out the washer queue so I can wash them all up.Then while we were returning …
I'm 24 weeks (and a few days) along, due late April/early May. Measured 25cm at my appointment last week, baby's heartbeat was somewhere in the 150's. Baby's been kicking me routinely through the day - very similar to …
I think ds and I are going to the doctor next week.This never-ending cold is getting on my nerves, and I really think it's the main reason our sleep schedule is so wacky right now.I want to not have 15-20 minute coughing…
Well, today's been interesting.Ds woke up at 6:30 today, I brought him into our room to snuggle, dh promptly took ds back to his room 15 minutes later. I could hear ds thumping around in his room for the next while, so …
The Roasted Apple-Onion Soup and homemade wheat rolls from Sunday:Yup, I can cook when I feel like it.Making bread doesn't freak me out how it used to - it used to be super difficult and time consuming, that day I just w…
Today I got my (hopefully) final package of maternity wear via Fed Ex and had a midwife appointment.Baby's heartbeat is 152-158, is probably transverse, and I'm not spilling anything (in my urine that is). I finally gai…
With all this talk about New Year's Resolutions (which I never do because let's face it, I don't follow through on that type of thing), I have just one.1) Have this baby. That's it. Finish gestating and push this littl…
Never underestimate the power of a determined pregnant woman with a bug up her ass.Pantry before (panning from left to right from the entry):The plans I drew up while learning about volcanos:The finished (for now) madnes…
