Gettin’ My Ducks In A Row… November 12, 2009

I swear y’all, this baby is going to be here before I know it and I haven’t done jack to get ready. Well, not completely true. I do have a Boppy and a tub. See! Gah. I just hate,hate,hate NOT knowing the gender of this child. I have all sorts of ideas for the nursery and nothing…

However, I have decided to rectify that. Starting next weekend. I am going baby shopping. I am gonna by some gowns and onesies if it is the last thing I do. And diapers. Let’s not forget the diapers. That is gonna be a little strange. I haven’t had to buy diapers in well over a year. I was trying to talk Jimmy into cloth diapers but he ain’t havin’ it. Selfish…

I know I promised an explanation and I’m working on one. Truly. It’s still a little too fresh in my mind to be rehashing it all. Especially since I am still living with it on a daily basis. That is not a complaint. I am grateful. More than you can know. I need more time. You can understand that right?

13 Weeks and Counting… September 22, 2009

I heard the baby’s heartbeat today! HOORAY!HOORAY!HOORAY!

All is well. I do have to go see the perinatologist because of advanced maternal age. Dude, I’m thirty-five. Meh. At least I will get to have a really bitchin’ ultrasound though.

But the heartbeat! I heard it! Today!

Operation Knocked Up… August 20, 2008

Negatory, Ghost Rider, the pattern is full.

Well. Did you really expect it to happen so soon? And with the living at the ‘Rents house? In my old bedroom across the hall? Sharing a room with the boys?

There’s always next month. I would say wish me luck, but I am not sure what it is I should be wished. Fertility? Stamina? Bendiness? TMI?

Whatever it is, wish it to me. I got a powerful hankerin’ for another baby.

Edited to add- According to the Chinese Lunar calendar, I need to become pregnant later this month in order for it to be a girl. Which is theoretically possible. No pressure.

Otherwise I have to wait until APRIL of 2009 for my next chance at having a girl. Jeez. Anyone else have any other methods,ideas they would be willing to share? I really want a girl this time.

Operation Knocked Up… July 15, 2008

************ possible TMI alert ************

It is official. I went to my OB/GYN this afternoon and had my IUD removed. We now have the green light, as it were, to begin making another baby. Our third baby. Can I get a WOOT!WOOT! ?

Well, not actually tonight. I am a little crampy and uncomfortable. Maybe tomorrow. On the bright side? It does not hurt at all to have it removed. In fact it literally took about two minutes. Seriously.

So now we wait.

And maybe begin discussing baby names. Or is that too soon?

April Fool’s… February 21, 2008

So. April 1st I have a doctor’s appointment. With my OB/GYN. To have my IUD removed.

That’s right, Project Pleaseletitbeagirl will be off with a bang. Er, you know what I mean. Dirty girls. I am beyond excited. We can begin discussing babies any time.

And you know that also means baby names. My favorite thing evah. I am almost positive I have found my names. But you never know. I’m leaning towards Delaney for a girl and Liam for a boy. I have given up on Finn. It’s too Dr. Suess-y with Quinn. Feel free to let me know any opinions you all may have.

Let me tell you I am already looking at crib sets, cribs, travel systems,cradle swings, maternity clothes, I am sure you are getting the idea here! I do realize it may take awhile for me to become pregnant, then again maybe not. I have just been wanting to be pregnant again for so long that even the small step of calling my doctor’s office is incredibly thrilling.

I’ve got it bad. Baby Fevah. Sigh.

I will keep y’all informed. Not TMI informed, just generally informed!!

Wish me luck. And send me some positive baby girl vibes.

Everyone is pregnant, but me… August 6, 2007

I am so jealous. To be truthful, I should point out that I am not preggers because of a little thing I like to call the- second- best- thing -to -ever- happen- to- me… MIRENA. We have been very fortunate in our ability to get pregnant. A little too fortunate. I had to have something that was going to keep me from being the equivalent of barefoot and pregnant. The pill did not work for me. At all. So, Mirena it was. I cannot begin to tell y’all how much I love it. Seriously. Best birth control evah.

All of that having been said, I am dying to get pregnant. I loved being pregnant. It was easy and so much fun. Even when it was towards the end and really was not fun. But now is really not a good time for us. We are selling our house and moving to an apartment. I am more than ready to leave this hell-hole of a house.

It is still hard. Three of the girls I work with are pregnant. Jealous.

I know that I am okay every day when my husband doesn’t tell me I am pregnant, and it’s a boy, right after he wakes up. That’s how it happened the first two times! fuh-reak!

I guess I am just going to have to wait a little while longer…
