Another little posting drought. So sorry.
Here is a collection of short stories from the past few days.
Mallory can finally stand up (with her head above water) at the sandbar on our lake. We went out yesterday with my sister’s kids and she wanted her boat coat off so off it came and I was surprised to see that she could touch. She had SO.MUCH.FUN. jumping around with Shane & Lauren. We went back out later when Rick got home and she showed off her new “pish” (that’s fish in Mallorian) skills. She got braver and actually ended up underwater a …
Month: August 2008
Still nothing new to report
Except I get another ultrasound tomorrow morning. I had a heck of an afternoon/evening yesterday (click here for the story) and was super uncomfortable all evening & night yesterday. I could barely stand up straight. I called the doctor; since I am feeling fine today and I haven’t had any bleeding she was sure all was fine but they offered to let me come in for an ultrasound in the morning. Who am I to turn it down?
So I get to sleep in a little bit AND will get to see my baby!
I am trying really hard to get the …
Not for lack of material
Oh man. I am a bad blogger. Today was the first day in, um, forever I think, that I got ZERO hits on my blog. We have to fix that.
And since I already typed this out once today in an IM, I am just going to cut & paste here. This was my Wednesday night. Enjoy.

i was supposed to watch emily’s kids from 5.30-7.30 (overlap between her work & michael’s sked)
so M & i were going to spend the in between time w/ rick at his work

While the girls were up north…
(Back story: because of Rick’s work schedule this weekend – our friends Larry & Cheri were going to help with Cooper duty. Cooper went to their house on Thursday morning and would stay there until Rick could get him after work on Friday. Then on Saturday & Sunday L&C would come let Cooper out. )
But here is how the weekend went down:
On our way up north Thursday, Rick calls to tell me that Larry told him that Cooper peed three times in L&C’s house and can I call Cheri and find out what is going on. Um, why didn’t you …
8 Weeks!
Friday marked 8 weeks and we had another ultrasound on Thursday (7w6d). Baby looked GREAT – heartbeat was 170bpm. Can’t upload the picture right now but will later. :-)
Pregnancy continues to be unremarkable. Just general being tired and some heartburn but nothing unmanageable.
Up North, 2008
Well, we made it back from our trip up north. O.M.G. how exhausting. Mallory is NON-STOP and I don’t know if she was pushing it just because my mom was there and she thought she could get away with it or what but she was out of control. She was still a very good little girl but when it came time for diaper changes or getting dressed, she would run away from me LAUGHING.
I’ve been going “up north” for probably close to 30 years now. Back when I was little, I would spend a week up there in the summer, …
My mommy!
Funny Mallory & Alli story again today. I had to use the bathroom when I got to daycare today. As I’m going potty, both Mallory & Alli were pounding on the door yelling for me. I heard Alli yell “MOMMY”. And then I heard Mallory yell “NO!!!!! MY MOMMY!!”
Thank goodness I was already going potty, otherwise I would have peed my pants.
* * *
Continuing at daycare, as the girls were saying goodbye to each other, Alli said something to Mallory and Mallory lifted up her shirt and Alli stuck her finger in Mallory’s belly button. Then Mallory said the same …
Same ole, same ole
Well, so far this pregnancy is progressing much like Mallory’s did. No real “morning” sickness but just some general blahs if I’m not careful enough to eat often. The heartburn has kicked in already – I think a little earlier than it did the first time (I ended up prescription heartburn meds at the end last time – that was horrible). And Rick said my snoring has already gotten out of control – apparently he could hear me snoring in our bed when he left his hockey game (in Ann Arbor) the other night. Asshole.
I don’t think I’m “showing” just …
Just for Mother Hen
Holy Fast Swimmers
I had to catch up on my new favorite Olympic sport this morning online – did you see the mens 4×100m freestyle relay? I don’t even care that it’s part of Phelps’ quest to win a million gold medals; that last US swimmer was amazing and it was awesome to see him come back on the French dude in the lane next to him.
I can’t even do the freestyle for 10 seconds without feeling like I’m going to drown (so much for my years on the Georgetown Country Club swim team).
If you didn’t get to see it yet – go …
