You see a headline and think, “Why are they talking about mushrooms seizing Beirut neighborhoods?” And then you realize that they’re talking about Shiites, not Shiitakes. Sigh. I’m really tired. I would really like some decent sleep, and soon…but it’s probably too much to hope for. Even a couple of hours of uninterrupted, solitary sleep [...]
Exhaustion: 1Kathleen: 0 I give up. Exhaustion wins. (Well, this round, anyway.) I’m more exhausted right now than I have been in a very long time — or at least since I was pregnant. It’s like everything caught up with me today: being back at work, not having had more than about four consecutive hours [...]
Uh. People? This is what is happening outside right now: Yes, that’s right: snow. In Seattle. In April. And it’s sticking! And while we were sitting in the kitchen about 30 minutes ago, drinking coffee, we saw a flash and heard the loudest crack of thunder I’ve ever heard. Yep, a snow and thunderstorm. The [...]
but I don’t think I was prepared for them. I have never slept as badly in my entire life as I did last night. Elanor’s had a bit of a cold since Tuesday, and it looks like I caught it too. By yesterday evening, I had a massive headache, a sore throat, a runny nose, [...]
After my 38 week doctor’s appointment today (for which I waited an hour to see a doctor I’d never met before [my doctor is on vacation] for all of about 7 minutes, in which she told me that I’m still only one centimeter dilated and 75% effaced, and that first babies are often late, but, [...]
The first thing almost everyone you encounter on a daily basis (your husband, friends, co-workers, and strangers alike) says is, “Wow, your belly is huge! You have a sobbing meltdown because of lentils. (My poor, poor husband. I’ll spare you the details but he is quite longsuffering to put up with me these days.) Your [...]
My mind is going in about four different directions as I try to figure out how to start this post and what to include in it — updates about my last doctor’s appointment, our weekend so far, a to-do list update, and how I’m feeling. I’m not sure where to go first. I guess it [...]
Our internet at home has been really wonky the past couple of days, so I am going to give this post my best try. I hope it works! I felt totally nasty all day today, so I left work early and came home and slept most of the afternoon. I feel a little better now, [...]
Ok, I’m going to whine. Know what sucks when you’re pregnant? Having a cold. My throat is sore and my ear hurts and I can’t really take much for it at all. And that, my friends, is why you are getting one more in a slew of really, really lame-o blog posts, because Brett and [...]
Because it’s late (Ok, it’s only 9:40 but I’m pregnant and it’s been a long weekend), because we just spent six hours — instead of the usual three — driving back from Portland, because my bed is calling me and I haven’t been there since Tuesday night…this is going to be the lamest…er, shortest…post ever.
