Back Issues

Sometimes, I like to go back and read past entries.  I like to see what I was doing at this same time three years ago - like, "Pre-Katie".

I have to say, I usually come away impressed with my writing skills.  

Am I really that witty?  Alas, only in the blogosphere where I can edit and re-edit to my hearts delight.

I'm past the 32 week mark in my pregnancy.  I've got another appointment coming up next week.  Another one of those pee-in-a-cup, get-uterus-measurement, hear-baby-heartbeat, say-hi-to- doctor,  and then leave appointments.  Ugh.

Then, starting in July, I'm at the doc's office every week.  That's when things get really fun. Group-B Strep tests, exams to tell effacement, dilation, baby position.  Whoo-hoo.  

All this should be made extra fun with Katie in tow.  Each appointment she climbs up onto a chair so that she can watch the nurse take her measurements and find the heartbeat.  Not quite sure what I am going to do to distract her once "exams" start taking place.  Sigh.

I had to go out and buy more stoopid prego clothes today.  What the hell?  I have no pants that are comfortable to wear besides these moo-moo looking things that I bought the last few weeks of Katie's pregnancy.  It's embarrassing to leave the house with them on.  So, I dropped $36 bucks on two pairs of sweatpant-type shorts and two shirts.  I'm not sure these are any better than the moo-moo pants, but at least they are "sporty".

There's really nothing "sporty" about me at this point in time.  Well, except my hair.  I got it cut short at the end of May.  It was the last drop-off day for Katie's preschool.  I went and decided to treat myself to a hair cut since I was looking quite hippy-ish.

I noticed on the door that they took donations for "Locks of Love."  I asked the woman if my hair was long enough.  They require 11 inches.  It was....barely.  The lady gave me a nice Mommy-ish cut though. 

Which reminds me, I have no prego pictures up in this here blog.  I'll start working on that.

Thus ends The Post of No Point.   



 

March through November 2025

So, my plan didn't quite work out to post one blog post per week until the end of the year. Turns out that I'm just too busy. And, w...
