Didja See?
Did you notice? Only 49 days left until this thing comes out of me. Back to da clubs in just 7 weeks and I’ll be looking goooooooooood.
That’s right. You looked at my sexy post-baby body.
Derek swears he’s not even going to breathe in the same room around me once the baby is born. Can’t take the risk that I’ll get pregnant again. I’m guessing it’s airborne because I can’t figure out how these cute little parasites keep ending up inside of me.
In all seriousness I want to know what she’ll look like. I realize when she first comes out, she’ll look more like a wrinkled tiny Winston Churchill, but after all the “Holy crap, I’m BORN!”-face wears off, I wonder whom she’ll resemble? I keep having odd cravings. Last night it was soy sauce. I called my husband and “ordered” chinese for dinner and played it off by saying “The baby wants it.” You’d be suprised how many things I can get my way with that simple statement.
Today was inauguration day. If you didn’t know this, you live in a small, tiny bubble where the unicorns frolic. Or you’re just dumb. On a positive note, I was really impressed with how sincerely hopeful people seem. It’s no secret that I’m a skeptic on “Lord Obama’s” abilities. I really think people are putting waaaaay too much emphasis on the ability of this man. (besides the fact that congress holds the power and the president is just a political Barbie doll.) However, for the first time in years, people are actually feeling positive- though naive they might be. Any life coach or psych teacher will tell you that thinking positively is the first step to improving your current position in life. If these people think good things will happen due to Obama’s presidency, then anything that happens in their life that is “good” will be attributed to him and his “change”. If they believe in the positive possibilities, maybe a positive pandemonium will spread. Anything is better than this past year or two of depressing recession and sad-sac pathetic news we’ve had. Modern media is DEAD. The baby said so.
I won’t go as far as Mr. Rush Limbaugh and say “I hope Obama fails” because I think the American people need something to look forward too. We’ve had such destitute times that it’s about time they found something to get excited about. Too bad it’s socialism and abortion-loving Obama, but I hope for the sake of our country that things turn out well. All I can do is pray. On the other side of things, why the hell were people singing the “Nananana, Hey Hey Hey, Good bye!” song to President Bush? I know the rest of the world thinks Americans are @$$holes, but now even *I* am starting to believe it. How friggin rude. I think Bill Clinton is a blue-dress -loving pervert but I’d still respect the man enough to be polite to him should he ever offer me a cigar.
Roe Vs. Wade’s anniversary is on Thursday. Please remember to pray for all the women in the world who are scared and have a choice to make. Pray they choose life. (the baby wants them to.)
33 Weeks
This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple) and has passed the 17-inch mark. He’s rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his skeleton is hardening. The bones in his skull aren’t fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for him to fit through the birth canal. These bones don’t entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as his brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood.
*On an unrelated note* I’m staying in Dallas again for a few days this week for another training session and I’m starting to wonder if this hotel room is haunted. I keep hearing footsteps right here next to my bed and a few minutes ago, my bag just jumped off the table and onto the floor. The baby doesn’t like that. Maybe Obama will make it better?

You said the Churchill thing just so I wouldn’t!
@JTMac - *knows you well.*
Or maaaybe you’re seeing stuff because the baby is psychic!
And at least this time you know what fruit to lift? What the hell was that other one?
DAAAMN GIRL! You look hella fine in that yellow moo-moo! Let me get yo numba!
Tiny wrinkled Churchill? I’ve never heard them described like that. I hope these next 49 days go well for you!
Amanda, how did you find that picture of me on the internet?
Yay for 49 days!
You’re still in Dallas? I bet you’re missing your hubby and those babies.
Yay for girl pineapples! Does she have a name yet?
I know someone who had Irish twins (you know, two babies in the same year that weren’t actually twins). When people would say, “You’re pregnant AGAIN?”, she’d say, “Yes, but at least we know now what’s causing it.” So there you go.
My Mom and my aunt, good Catholics that they were, would call each other “Fertile Myrtle” because they both had seven kids. I’m glad, since I’m number seven!
@Lithium98 - *giggles* I want to see the person in that picture do the music video to that hip-hop song “My Milkshake.”
@SpiderDad - Could you tell we’re Catholic too?
@iknowHimdou - We’re really leaning towards Eryn as a name. We’ve got a few other goo Celtic names picked out, but we’re going to meet her before we decide her name.
@HeartOfPandora - *laughs* apparently it’s pronounced “hicima”. I kept walking around the produce section asking if they had any “Ja CAymas.” It’s a mexican fruit thing…..
@life_by_us -
Yes, I did know that.
What’s a GOO Celtic name? Sounds sticky! 
well, lets hope obama can do as good a job as bush. i mean,under bush we’ve been so busy. lets see. . . there was the 9/11 attacks, the announcements that health care/social security/and most government aid funds would run out before we’re in our late 50′s. then there were some other little things like throwing up on world leaders, helping to show that americans aren’t just there when they need us. we’ll go in, help out, pay to rebuild your country (while ignoreing our own countrymens needs) all while you spit and yell at us. we also started not one, but two wars. had new orleans pull an atlantis, and still haven’t got that fixed. oh yeah, and the economy sucked so bad, the government had to bail out most of te major companys. unemployment is very high right now, companys are terrified to hire new people. most are laying off people to keep from going under.
so, after reading about the changes obama has started in his first day. imposeing pay caps on government officals, setting up a time limit to get us out of the wars without just dropping everything and running, and a couple of other helpful things for US REGULAR americans, he’s off to a good first day. i mean, he’s no G.W.B., but that’s why we all voted for him in the first place. there was no point in trying to call a recount. Obama crushed everyone. even the soul-less clinton, dispite her deal with the devil.
change has begun. the course is being changed and we are being guided by man with good common sense, a passion to help everyone, and knows what it’s like to grow up without everything hnded to him. instead of grudgeing about mccain not farting around yet another address listed under his name, lets just see how the new guy handles things.
that’s why i don’t discuss politics.
i’m betting the third addition to the bunny brood looks like you too. only with darker hair. are you back from dallas, or haven’t left yet??
good luck, and huggles.
