What I Know About Him

Here are some things I know about my fetus already:
1. He has a penis.  So, he’s either a boy, or a girl with a penis.  I’m guessing the prior.
2. He loves Led Zepplin.  I blast it when I’m driving alone.  He dances.  Or, kicks me hard like and old lady banging on the ceiling to [...]

Woot Woot! For Gwen’s Grills

So my neighbor, friend and former TTC buddy Gwen gave birth to her twin girls on Valentine’s Day at 32 weeks.
They are tiny and beautiful.
I wanted to give her a shout-out and tell you a story about how cute my son is.  Because I’m sure I’ve never-before mentioned his cuteness, right?
We were at Gwen’s house.  [...]

The One In Which I Complain

If you’re TTC, feel free to skip right over this, because I’m about to be ungrateful.
I FEEL LIKE CRAP.
My head hurts and Tylenol is a placibo.
My back hurts and Tylenol is a placibo.
I walk like a duck.
I climb stairs like someone who really needs to jump on the spaceship in the movie “Cacoon.”
My belly feels [...]

Illogical-ish Worries of a First-time Pregnant, Second-time Mom

Hmmm. Where should I start?
10.  I’m going to completely forget everything newborn.  Heck.  I already do.
9. I’m going to give birth quickly– while crossing the Brooklyn Bridge — trying to get to the hospital.
8. I’m going to get thrown in jail for assaulting any medical personnel who approach me with any kind of scalpel-esque cutting [...]

Hi

I’m just saying “Hi.”
We’re still in New Mexico.  I’m too jet-lagged to say anything exciting.  I’ve watched the wild turkeys tramp across my dad’s fields a few times. I’ve chased my son up and down the stairs (which have no railing) a bunch of times.  Baby brother has been kicking up a storm.  I can [...]

Some/thing Blue

What’s blue?About 78% of the clothes in Cakie’s closet.  (Hand-me-downs…I’d never buy so much of one color on purpose.) They are waiting to be  worn by Cake’s little brother.
That’s right, it’s a boy.
Sorry about the delay.  I got sucked into a vortex of getting-my-family-packed-and-off-to New Mexico.  Where I am now.
It’s a brother!

Little Brother or Little Sis?

Tomorrow I find out.  I feel nervous.
Not about the sex.  I just feel nervous.
So, I’ll let you know.
PS I did some/thing borrowed yesterday for the Other Mother meme.
PPS Happy Valentine’s Day.  Go kiss your honey.  If you don’t have a honey, give yourself a kiss from me.  XXX

Some/Thing New (and Borrowed)

This is my new supersonic gay* phone.
It is attached to the miracle black thingee that the beautiful and talented danator lent me.
The black thingee is attached to my new tape recorder.
(The cat butt in the corner is something old.)

All of these contraptions are helping me write my new book. (My first book.) My [...]

Something Old

Ok, I’m joining a blog party hosted by the OTHER Mother. It is a little February nuptual of sorts. Today’s post is “Something Old.” Tomorrow’s will be “Something New.” Get the gist?  Feel free to play. You’re invited.
For my something old, I am re-printing here one of my first posts from [...]

Hormonal Gratitude

So being all full of hormones and inevitably weepy, I found myself in exactly such a state in my car yesterday. I was listening to this song in the car. It made me think of you and everything you’ve done for me in my TTC battle.
The Ring, by Sarah Harmer
You thank me all [...]
