Are We There Yet?

22 weeks. I know I am huge. I know I have a ways to go. I know it looks painful and at times it is. My vagina feels like it is bruised. I am told this is normal for number three and the pressure he/she is putting on my nether regions. My feet are beginning to swell. I picked up a large maternity shirt the other day sure it would be too huge on me. It fit fine. Reality is sinking in.

Emma felt the baby move. I threaten Mark if he bothers me with having to touch my belly. The other day bread crumbs fell down my undershirt I had on and were really bothering me. I lifted up both shirts to get them out and Mark just stared at my stomach as if it were some sort of alien creature. It looks wrong and painful. I will spare everyone any naked belly shots. Unless any of you want them to scare your kids into not ever having sex.

I think you have a boy in there

Even though you are huge, you are totally glowing.

Sometimes There Are No Words

Last night I met a new friend. Let me preface this by saying I have made exactly ONE new friend in the last ten years. This makes number two. My Babycenter and Blogging friend Amanda , was having a conference in KC. We made plans to meet up. I felt a bit odd. Here I was making plans to meet someone I only knew from the Net. But Mark thought it was perfectly great and even said for me to stay out as long as I wanted. He said it was not as if I was meeting up with someone I saw often. Stay out and talk and have fun. So I did. I made plans to meet with Amanda. I knew we had a lot in common. Both from the board and from reading her blog. I knew she was someone who if she lived closer to me we could hang out. But I was a bit apprehensive. Here was someone who only knew me through the computer. So many what if's , right? Mark was actually the one who said I should meet with her, if only for a little while. So, I picked Amanda up at her hotel and off we went to Fooleries. Great place to ...

And Just Like That.....

I made the fatal mistake of reading reviews and articles before watching a single episode of the show.  I knew full well I would watch every episode regardless.  I read anyway.  Spoilers? Not bothered.   Let me give some back story here.   At 17/18 my dream had been to go to a big city (Chicago was my thinking at the time), get my degree in journalism/editing/publishing and go work at a big time magazine.  Keep in mind we are talking about the mid 90's here so the idea that magazines would cease to be relevant was not even on my radar.  I had been editor of my high school yearbook and unbeknownst to me at the time, we were actually doing the yearbook by coding and would get printouts hoping we had coded copy correctly.  I just typed the copy I was supposed to type with the weird little codes that had been given to me on a piece of paper.  I would later discover this was actually HTML code we were doing.  Who knew?  This fu...
