1) I heard Piper out in the yard this morning squealing at something. I assumed it was a cat/squirrel/other fauna sitting in a tree or on the fence and tantalizing her. So I waddled (in all my manatee-sized glory) to the door to bring her in, wearing only a t-shirt and underwear. At which I [...]

Baby Pool
Posted in Pregnancy on September 28, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Come on over and guess the birth stats at my baby pool. Guessing babies’ sexes shouldn’t be hard, but weights, lengths, dates and times could be interesting. FWIW, we’ll be inducing/sectioning by 11/14 at the latest, so judge accordingly. For further reference, Watson is A, Crick is B, and it’s a near-certainty that Watson will [...]
Plus Minus

The best of the past 24 hours:
1) We celebrated Starbuck’s 31st birthday yesterday, with a trip to Outback (mmm…steak) and an ice cream cone.
2) Little miss B’s heartbeat was found waaay farther south than previously, and I can no longer feel a hard little skull under my liver, but rather something more butt-like. Dare I [...]
Weight

So I popped into the department after my peri visit the other day, and ran into my coworker who’s also having twins. She’s about 26-27 weeks. The conversation got around to weight gain, and she’s proud to be not eating much and still being several lbs under her pre-pregnancy weight. (She started at a very [...]

Confidential memo to Sen. Biden:
FDR wasn’t elected to his first term until 1932.
Television didn’t come into common use until at least 1939-1940.
It is therefore, one suspects, quite unlikely that FDR would have made a television appearance as president in the days immediately subsequent to the stock market crash of 1929.
Thank you for your kind attention.

That’s really the only word for the peri’s reaction to my cervical sono today. The guy looked like he’d seen a very welcome ghost.
Today’s cervical measurement (that is, the amount of cervix keeping my presently 7-odd lbs of kid from falling to the floor): 8 mm. Two weeks ago? 8 mm. Four weeks ago? 6 [...]
I Dream Of Livestock
Posted in Dream on September 23, 2008 | 1 Comment »
You know you’re either pregnant, crazy or on mind-altering drugs when:
You dream that you’ve been given a tiny calf (the size of a human infant) by Weevil Navarro and have been assigned to breastfeed it as part of your work duties.
And no, I didn’t watch Heroes last night. I did watch Veronica, but whither the [...]
Shopping By Proxy
Posted in Random on September 22, 2008 | 7 Comments »
A big request for any shoppers in the audience. I’ve been searching for halloween outfits for Watson and Crick (we’re assuming they’ll show up by then – it’s a pretty safe bet.) I’ve found something I like, but there are perilously few of them in the right size on Ebay.
So…where have you seen this in [...]
Circumference
Posted in Pregnancy on September 21, 2008 | 4 Comments »
My due date group has a thread featuring waist measurements. In the interests of 1) remembering this a few years from now and 2) illustrating that I am not, in fact, as tiny as one might think based on the last belly shot, I’m now measuring 49.5 inches around, at 30w4d. This is [...]
Ebay Rants

Confidential to sellers on Ebay: Do not annoy the manatee-sized woman who’s been unable to walk more than 50 feet consecutively in the past two months, rendering her unable to visit the mall, by listing things as “newborn” only for her to click through and see “size 6 months.” You are a tool. [...]
