Little Bits

Just some random nothings from my life.

12 weeks today. Went to doc with cop husband and they could not find the heartbeat with the doppler thingymabopper so we headed across the hall for a quick ultrasound. Silence, somber mood in room, scan over a very still little baby, then suddenly, kick, kick, kick, and clawing at the side of the uterus. Little stinker, trying to scare us all and hide from the doppler. That's very typical of this family . . . . . stubborn. And wants to do it's own thing just like mommy :)

Feeling worlds better since the prenatal switch but still times slightly queasy and low appetite. Nothing sounds that fabulous usually. Mentioned it to the doc today and she said it was very common.

Possibly thinking about hitting the doc up for a possible VBAC. Though it is much riskier than typical uterus moms. Still hating and dreading all the meds and pain and over swelling-ness. Ridiculous. Hated all the effects of that damn section. Ugh!

2 days til Sesame Street Live, WOO HOO!!!!! Can hardly wait. Cop husband had to request the day off last week. Everyone was asking what he was doing cause he never requests off. Then all the guys got a big kick out of the fact that he was going to Sesame Street Live. Just wish I would have been there to tell them ALL, that it was entirely HIS idea. Too funny, how tough cops try to act around each other. Puh-leaze. lol

Cop husband has been stepping up and getting into all kinds of house projects. To many of you this may sound very normal. Now let me tell you that I am the handy one and he has hated doing any and all house projects. We have redone this house from top to bottom ourselves. Every time we would have project weekend, he would piss and moan like a teenage boy forced to go to clarinet lessons or something. He finally broke down and told me that he was suddenly into all the projects now cause he wants to make sure everything would be done if he did in fact not make it back to us one night. Huh? Very nice gesture, but this is no way for him to live. I told him, he doesn't get out of it that easy. He's bound to us for a LONG, LONG, time :)

Had a great play date with my old pal Becki and her girls the other day. So funny, watching her 2 girls play with Little Buddy. OMG! I planned it when cop husband was supposed to go fishing the other day. Then fishing was cancelled so he was looking for stuff to keep busy with the whole morning so as not to interfere with the play date. Ha! It was also great bonding with her as we talked about marital issues and feelings of being SAHM's. Came to the belief that many women probably aren't as honest as we think they are about their wonderful husbands, marriages, feelings, etc. as we thought they were? No body's that perfect. Oh, and those that are always saying how happy they are, often are trying to make themselves believe it.

Just do not have the do stuff itch like I usually do. Not so tired anymore most days just don't feel like getting all involved in anything when I can be relaxing. I despise being lazy. Bagh!

Oh, yes, feeling like a walrus already but only up a pound? Stomach really knows what to do this time around. Pop out early and fast! Oh, and so glad that my ticker baby no longer looks scrawny. Last week it was looking so thin and now filling out. Phew!

How are you doing? What's new? Got a perfect life or maybe some wisdom to impart?
