Ah. Pregnancy. I am running towards your finish line, knowing that at the end, I will have a baby in my arms and new joyous pain. But, no one ever told me that in my last leg of this race I was going to feel like someone has kicked me in my box.
I don’t know [...]

Posted in Uncategorized on October 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
My period. Period. I mean, I know it’s a natural thing that most women have, but it’s inconvenient and really disgusting when you think about it. So it is nice to not have to think about it!
Caring about my weight/size. Yes, I know I have to gain about 25-40 lbs. I am not going to [...]

This morning at 8AM:

I needs some sleep. I needs some sleep bad. End of fiscal year. Stress. And no sleep. And Billy kicks a lot so he’s good. But I’d like some sleep. And some ice cream.
Week 27: I don’t have a crib yet and I’m not sure if I’m allowed to panic.

Crib: as in piece of furniture you put baby in to sleep.
Unfortunately, shopping for a baby crib has caused me to lose great deal of sleep. Because even though cribs are monitored and checked by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, it’s not necessarily always going to be safe. More than 5 million cribs have been recalled [...]

There is nothing quite like going to have your ultrasound. The full organ scan at 20 weeks is a miracle upon itself– you can find out the sex of the baby, and looks to see that he has ten fingers and toes, kidneys, heart, brain, a nose, a palette. These things are all fantastic and [...]
Week 25: Heat + Humidity + 4 hour train ride + Bump = I’m driving.

Tonight I had the most irrational thoughts run through my head. I wanted to quit my job or move to Alexandria and I never wanted to lug around cases again and I was going cry goddamnit because I was getting home at 8:30pm instead of 8 and I just wanted to pass out after working [...]
Week 24: Insomnia. Again.

Wee one likes to kick me in the morning at 3AM. Kitty likes to bite for breakfast at 4AM. Incubator would like to stay asleep until 7AM. Somehow, incubator does not see this happening. At least not the kind of sleep with dreams.
Maybe it’s just practice for the future. Hopefully the grandparents will take care [...]
Week 22: So freakin’ tired.

Did I ever mention my commute is about 4 hours a day by train, 2 hours a day by car? And that I tend to work 10 hour days?
And that I’m really freakin’ tired?
I understand that this is supposed to be my “golden trimester” and in many ways it has been, but I would just [...]
