Heh

At last week's office visit, we were looking over the doctor's form while waiting to check out. I'm guessing there's some official acronym for a routine obstetrical something-or-other. The form just said this...

pity party of one

I blogged about getting bigger in..march, april, may…. And today I was about to blog about it again. I don’t measure myself empirically but I know. So right now, what I have to say to myself is: wah wah wah. I’m not even in the home stretch, so blog all you want, but whateva. Get over yourself. (too bad I won’t. :b)
my tmi-there are two forms of peeing. The pee, and the tinkle. Lovely, no? maybe it’s a good thing we have one-ply, thinner than thin toilet paper at home. (you know how you buy something, thinking, whatever, I’ll live, but later on you wonder why you didn’t buy the better product) I’ll use it up.

childbirth class 28

First few thoughts – oooh, look at all the pregnant ladies in one room! Awww, look at all the baby daddies. :b It was a good class. I thought there’d be more focus on breathing techniques, but I guess we’re supposed to practice them on our own. That’s fine, I was too giggly in the class setting anyway. In the backburner of my mind was the fear of labor. Seeing the slides brought that fear to the forefront. How is it I can coo at March of the Penguins, or A Panda is Born, but when it comes to humans, I’m thinking, “ohhhh, that’s messed up.” And then I have conversations with myself - “think of it as a rite of passage.” “shut up joo.” It was funny how a huge chunk of Saturday was about drugs and when you can take them. And during breaks, all the ladies lined up for the bathroom.
We got to tour the delivery rooms – they were nice! I saw the mattress was vinyl and thought gross thoughts about that. maybe we need to watch some gorey movies to harden ourselves. The carnage! The horror! (The laundry!) Rob gets to see me at my best. :b
Oh, I inquired about getting non-rooftop parking at work and T quoted me the prices. But then he changed my parking permit anyway. I did NOT throw out the pregnancy card, though I was gonna.. way to work the system, ooj!

Scooby doo and the case of the disappearing belly button

Started reading the Girlfriend’s Guide to Pregnancy – it’s the only book that hasn’t stressed me out with the first chapter -or introduction (Thanks Karen!). I thought all the books would make me knowledgeable but I feel lost. Overwhelmed, maybe. If you’re a hot momma, expect some panicky phone calls. ;) there was one quip in the book that said something like women who have perfectly smooth pregnancies will probably be hit with a monster of a labor. I know she was joking. right?????
