In which I make no mention of the baby whatsoever*

Posted on October 31, 2008 | Category: Uncategorized | 10 Comments

I’m usually pretty good at remembering important dates, like my best friend from 5th grade‘s birthday or when the world was supposed to end as according to Sarah Connor (August 29, 1997), but I think my brain has turned to mush these last 30 or so weeks, as I (GASP!) totally forgot about my own [...]

Getting it all down on paper

Posted on October 28, 2008 | Category: Uncategorized | 9 Comments

I just spent the last hour (seriously, it took an hour, because I am so easily distracted these days by things like candy and shiny objects within my vicinity) compiling a massive to-do list that encompasses everything I need to do at work before the end of the year. See? My eyes are projecting the [...]

Stark, raving pregnant

It has come to my attention that the belly video is a tad disturbing to some. Well, yes, it is. Pregnancy, when you break it down into all of its ooey gooey details, is disturbing. I mean, it’s very much like the movie Alien in that there is a living organism (albeit not from another [...]

I’m bigger than you and higher up the food chain. Get in my belly.

Me: Oh jeez. The baby is going nuts in my stomach.Him: Your stomach?Me: Er, belly. Whatever, you know what I mean.Him: Because that would be really weird if he was in your stomach … slowly digesting and stuff.Me: OK, that’s just bizarre. *** What’s REALLY weird is when the baby decides to play a Bonham-style [...]

Caught on tape

It’s really turned into all baby, all the time around here, hasn’t it? I really didn’t mean for that to happen. I honestly thought that once I revealed my pregnancy to the world I’d be able to keep up some semblance of normalcy (well, relatively speaking) around here, but, well, you try writing about anything [...]

Michael: Oh god! Wow! What was on that?Dwight: Butter! Newborns are slippery.

I didn’t realize this until yesterday, but I turned 29 the same week I reached my 29th week of pregnancy. I’m not superstitious or into the meaning of numbers, really, but that’s kind of odd, isn’t it? Yesterday I had my regular monthly prenatal checkup, which went much better than the last one wherein I [...]

License to ill

My friend Gabby asked me this morning if 29 feels any different than 28. To which I responded, “Well, so far it feels like shit.” And not because it’s the beginning of the end of my twenties. No, it’s because I’ve spent every minute of it sick. I left work early on Monday – partly [...]

Birthday blues

Posted on October 13, 2008 | Category: Uncategorized | 11 Comments

It’s always a little difficult having to say good bye to my mom after a visit. The sole intention of this particular visit was to spend time with me while pregnant, to gawk and marvel at my belly, to feel for the first time the reassuring kicks of her grandson, and to spoil us (and [...]

He has to give me a new name. He’s already chosen it. He just has to call it out.*

Early on, Roth and I decided that once we chose a name for our baby, we would keep it to ourselves until he was born. We didn’t make this decision to be mean or cruel. Everyone knows we’re pregnant, that we’re having a boy, and that he’s due January 2. So we just want there [...]

Better than fine

I’m happy to report that my state of mind these days is much more zen-like than it has been in a long time. I’d like to say it’s because of the all the prenatal yoga I’ve been doing, but the truth is I haven’t been back to class since the first time, as we had [...]
