I've had a bit of a rough morning but thanks to my loving husband and wise women friends on the CK Preggers Thread - I'm feeling less dramatically full of dispair. I'd laugh if I could - not so much at how I feel - but the dimensions of it - the crocodile tears the feelings cause are almost theatrical. :) I'm so thankful at how thoughtful and considerate and kind people can be to a crying pregnant woman, including Rosa and Marta who seem to be sending me wonderful vibes from far away. :kiss:

I'll...

Monday morning. So far, its not out-of-control crazy at work, which is nice. I expect things will change fairly soon.

S's sister was with us for the weekend. It was great to see her and her daughter. Her son, on the other hand, my nephew, is a horrible person. I realize that is harsh to say of a 10 (?) year old - but he was rude, inconsiderate, excessively self-centered, less mature in all respects than this 5 year old sister, not good with Ripple (OMG that broke my heart to see him tease R...

I'm sitting outside on our deck with the lap top - its the first time I've used it outside and the internet signal is just fine.

Gets me in my I-wanna-disapear mood.

I'v...

I am so in love with my husband.

This weekend he shared something very private and very personal with me that showed me how much he trusts and loves me.

No baby could ask for a better father.

We went to the Anderson's for a barbeque last night and we had a great time. We watched the fireworks. The baby jumped and kicked up a storm during the fireworks.

We hit on a name yesterday that we both really like. Its not the FINAL decision, but its fun and very much a relief to have a...

Its Sunday night, I'm home alone, watching a movie with half my mind, and writing up lists for the baby.

The crying episodes, as I seem to have dubbed them, hit me today after going shopping for maternity clothes. I get these feelings of needing to have everything ready for the baby NOW. Not in two months, not closer to the birth, but NOW. I've been feeling variations of this since I found out I was pregnant. Its a difficult feelings because for all practical purposes, I need to wait for at...
