Gaining Weight is Fabulous
2007-03-28 14:14:00 I had my 32 weeks appointment at the OB/GYN yesterday. After the last visit, I was a bit worried about the news I might receive. Here's a quick (I promise) history...Peanut was born at 37 weeks, I had to be induced because I was diagnosed with Intrauterine Growth Restriction. This means he had quit growing and needed to come out soon. I've always questioned this diagnosis, as my husband and I were both small babies and I felt that he was just meant to be small.So back to this pregnancy, Petunia at my last appointment, was measuring almost three weeks behind. Being the worrier that I am, I started thinking about premature birth, problems breastfeeding, incubators, the NICU... I was sure that she was okay, but the worry gene was still in panic mode.Here's the GREAT NEWS!!!!! According to the ultrasound, she is measuring in the 31-32 week range! She's in the 40th %ile!!!! The ultrasound tech estimated her weight to be 4 lbs, 4 oz! With eight weeks to go until the due date, she coul... More About: Weight , Gaining , Eight , Weigh
Is Your Cat Out of the Bag?
2007-03-27 19:48:00 I'm curious. I read this blog by BlogWhore at Mommies Are People, Too, and it got me thinking.Who knows about your blog? Friends? Family? Your husband/wife/significant other?If they don't know about your blog, then why?If they do know about your blog, do they read it? Do they comment? Do they have an opinion about your blog and/or blogging habits?If you post anonymously, do you worry about being found out? Do you worry about posting pictures?Here are my answers:*I've told most of my friends about my blog. My husband, SIL, and brother know about my blog. I purposely haven't told my parents about this blog.*I'm not sure why I haven't told my parents, but it's probably because I worry that they would think it's weird and judge me.*I don't know for sure which of my friends (who live out-of-town) read my blog. A few have left comments or told me that they read me. A few have left one or two comments then have not been back (according to site meter). As far as my husband, I don'... More About: Cat
Eet's a Meestery
2007-03-27 14:17:00 I'm sure that this is an oft blogged about topic in land of mommyblogs. What happens to all the sippy cups? Where do they go? Is there a wasteland of half-full (or half-empty...however you look at it) sippy cups somewhere?Yesterday when emptying the dishwasher, I noticed that there were waaaay more lids than cups. I thought to myself, "Self, the cups must be in the cupboard, waiting patiently for the return of their lids." No such luck. No sad and lonely cups in the cupboard. Just a bunch of lids sans cups.I checked all of Peanut's hiding places. I've checked under the coffee table. Under the couches. In his room. In the car (which I never let him have but one special cup in the car that IS actually leak proof). I did not check in the garbage. We can afford more.I thought to blame Tate. (I'm good at blaming.) Surely he had something to do with the cups disappearances. But, really, what would he want with the cups? He knows not to come to me for the ransom, I'm not good for it. ... More About: Este
Here's a Riddle For You
2007-03-26 14:02:00 What's worse than having a grumpy, constantly whining child?A grumpy, constantly whining child AND a sick, constantly whining husband.Before I complain too much, I will say that Tate was actually quite sick. He sounded like there was an elephant sitting on his chest. And the things he coughed up. Oh. My. Gawd. Not that I saw it, but, dude, I heard it. And Peanut? I don't know what was up his ass, but damn, did he ever whine. In actuality, it probably wasn't something up his ass, but something in his mouth. Like teeth. That's just a guess.First there were the temper tantrums (from both of my darling "children")."I'm going to take more medicine, two Tylenol Cold & Sinus isn't enough", says Tate."No, that's a bad idea. You don't f*ck with Acetaminophen. Seriously, it could make you very sick", says the voice of reason (yes, me).A Tate tirade followed. Something about me not knowing what I'm talking about. (Right.)"Peanut it is time to go inside. It's hot and Mommy's tired.... More About: Here , Riddle
