Life is good. I have a great baby, great husband, and great friends and family. Who could ask for anything more?

 Hey boys and girls! This is probably the last update I'll be doing for a while, because BIG THINGS are happening. Tomorrow night, I am going in for the first leg of induction. They are softening my cervix with a vaginal suppository, and then they will be giving me Pitocin on Friday. I'm scared to be honest, but I think I have the right to be. Wish ( Read more... )

 CNN posted an article this week entitled "Why I didn't Want a Girl" via Parenting magazine. Columnist Amy Wilson reflects on how her two boys, and her anxiety towards expecting a daughter. "Even before I had sons, I worried about having a daughter. I could handle boys, with their cut-and-dried needs, but girls were so much more complicated. Girls ( Read more... )

 On Saturday, Rich and I drove around and went to the Outlet Malls. It was really nice. Afterwards, we went into downtown Patchogue (sp?) and went to a really yummy steakhouse. That night, we just chilled out and tried to find something decent on television. On Sunday, we just hung around the house because it was so hot out. I talked to my parents ( Read more... )

 Ugh, I got like no sleep last night. Firstly, I went to bed at like 8:30 because there was nothing to do and whatnot. Then, it was like two million degrees in the bedroom which weird because it was freezing in the kitchen and living room and there is only one thermostat in the house (which said it was 68). So I got like weird, fragmented sleep and ( Read more... )

...I had a waterbed.

So I am finally 21. Not that it really matters since I currently can't drink right now and I have drank for quite some time. All in all it was a good birthday. Rich took me out to Houston's and we had a huge lunch. Then I wanted to take a nap (this is what you do when you're pregnant), so I did. Then calling my family. Then ice cream cake and ( Read more... )

I really wish the economy was in a better state. I can't handle the thought of what might happen if something goes wrong. Usually I'm not a vengeful person, but I really do wish all of the fat cats at AIG and Lehman Brothers could have to go through what the rest of us are going through. Minimal sales for months. Layoffs. Foreclosure. Wondering ( Read more... )

I was in the post office yesterday, and there was this (much) older couple behind me. I took my coat off (why are government offices always so hot?) and of course they saw my stomach (ICYMI, I'm pregnant or I'm smuggling a cantaloupe in my abdominal cavity). It doesn't look like a whole lot, but it does quite literally appear that I am stashing a ( Read more... )

 My life's been crazy lately. I feel bad though, because I know it's all on me, and that I am the one causing myself (and others) all of the stress and I really am going to try to be better at that. I have gotten better at things like scheduling my free time and doing work on the subway, but I sometimes feel like I am not doing enough, and I'm ( Read more... )
