I really am bigger now than I was at 40w with Mallory. Photographs don’t lie (36w with Arlo is on the left, 40w with Mallory is on the right). I think my belly looks rounder in the picture from 2006 but it’s still not as big as the picture on the left.
And if that wasn’t proof enough – my dad did the math.
Month: March 2009
That was FAST!
Holy cow this week went FAST! All of a sudden it’s Saturday morning and I’m 37+ weeks prego.
Here’s the recap.
You all know about my doctor’s appointment Monday – but the newer news related to that is:
my insurance won’t extend my physical therapy benefit for another month to allow me to see my physical therapist for my pregnancy-related back pain. I’m not sure I really understand how if pregnancy lasts MORE than 60 days, can they restrict the coverage to 60 calendar days of treatment. Additionally, I am allowed either 15 or 30 actual sessions during that 60 days, …
Four Little Fingers
And that is how old Super Cooper Duper Coops is! Mallory was excited to sing Happy Birthday to Cooper and give him fancy peanut butter treats.
Photoshop Comments
As I mentioned before, I am messing around with Photoshop and putting different filters on almost all of my pictures. So if anything looks really gross or horrible, PLEASE comment and tell me that my adjustments suck!
No juice for you
Mallory & I were heading downstairs for our morning juice today and she yelled at Cooper:
“You can’t have any (juice), Cooper! You don’t have hands! You aren’t big, you are a dog!”
(We talk about her having juice because she’s a big girl, so I’m guessing that’s where she gets the “you aren’t big” part being a requirement for Cooper to be allowed to have juice).
36w3d Baby Arlo update
Just real quick – had my weekly appointment today and non-stress test. Baby Arlo looked fabulous on the monitor, nice heart accelerations, etc. I am nervous that EVERY.SINGLE.PERSON who has observed this baby on an ultrasound or monitor has commented on how active the baby is.
Anyway, the nurse was reading over the little printout thing that the monitor spits out and said something like “…I see some contractions…”. I was like “WHAT THE $%&#??” I haven’t felt much of anything contractions-wise ever since I quadrupled my water intake after my trip to triage back in January. Plus, I’ve resigned …
Plastic
Mallory found my credit card today and wanted to play with it; I told her to be careful (ie DON’T LOSE IT) and she assured me she would be careful. Off she went.
This is how I next saw her, and her accompanying dialogue was this: “I bought some stuff, mommy. I get bip-bops (flip-flops) and cwocs (crocs).” Notice she is carrying a flip-flop and a croc.

It was pretty cold here today but the sun was shining and the ground was frozen so Mallory & I bundled up and headed outside with Cooper. I picked up …
Mischief, Girl-Style
Here is an example of why I am glad to have a girl.
Mallory was quiet for about 15 minutes all by herself in the bathroom with the door shut. I could hear her talking to herself and there was no crashing or anything so I just let her be.
When I finally checked on her, she was standing on her stool inside the linen closet. I got nervous because there are some things she shouldn’t get into within her reach if she is using a stool (note to irresponsible parent: get moving on the toddler-proofing). Once I squeezed my …
