I shall call it Squishy and it will be mine

3/19/2012  Monday morning- I frantically call the doctors office to make an appointment and an quickly thrown into reality that you need to wait a few weeks and several tubes of blood before someone will even see you and show you the little rice grain flickering inside! Obviously they don't watch TV- EPT is pretty damn accurate- it knows before you do!

Bloodwork round one confirmed, yup- you've got a little extra in there and your mood swings and general disgust with your husband and everything he does is completely justified- how DARE HE not know that my white shirt with the pink logo gets hung up and the pink shirt with WHITE logo gets folded- GEEZ!

Bloodwork round two says levels are very good- over twice as much as what they should be- you know what that means.... Now how am I going to explain this one? Umm honey- you know how I joked (well at the time it was a little more genuine ticked off) about you being sick? Well, it seems that you did just fine, and actually were a little bit of an overachiever and we will have a child like me that will clean and dust like a normal person, and one like you that will follow mini-me around and re-do all the cleaning I have done- SURPRISE!

The moment of truth- sitting for what felt like 5 hours twiddling my thumbs as we wait for the doc to wand me and show us just how many little squishies are in there- and the verdict is- one (enter sigh of relief). One little flickering speck that holds everything we hoped we would have together one day- and we didn't even need alcohol!! ;)

Intestinal-Abdominus Who- I. Hate. You

This is how I feel currently- insert various stomach/ abdominal organs where Who-names are located... I am on Day Two of an antibiotic for my Bladder, in addition to the "pre-diabetes" med- which my Chiropractor kindly commented, aren't we all "pre-diabetic?" Thank-you Dr. Bill!, the prenatal vitamins, thyroid meds, Align, the extra Fiber, the colace, and the spiked apple juice that are all trying to combat my overstressed and non-working intestines. It's really like a party in my stomach right now! I feel like my medications have enrolled in e-harmony and are looking for their perfect match and just keep getting more friend to visit! Someone really needs to cancel their 90 day free trial! Basically I am miserable, I am up constantly at night to pee, then I can't go back to sleep (even though I don't turn on any lights so as not to disrupt my body's internal clock). By the time I do fall asleep my husband is leaving for work and then I have...

Just one of those days

" Today's the day! The sun is shining, the tank is clean, and we are getting out of here...THE TANK IS CLEAN?! The AquaScum 2003 is an all-purpose, self-cleaning maintenance free salt water purifier that is guaranteed to even extend the life of your aquarium fish. - curse you AquaScum !!! "  Quick- name that movie! ... anyone?  Finding Nemo of course! The sun IS shining, it IS a temperate 63 degrees out, and I am at work- with my beautiful view of the dumpster where the elderly man frequently confuses the stairwell for a bathroom and the trashbags for a free buffet!  In addition to that little chunk of heaven- I get to go rounds with one of our companies. Without getting into too many details- it's like trying to explain to a deaf person what sound a cow makes- doesn't matter how many times you write, act out, draw or mime- you get the same result- a blank stare. Normally, I can tolerate this company and the stress, craziness, stupidity and insan...

Livin on a Prayer...

"Oohhhhh.... we're half way there...." Actually, a week beyond half way there, and yesterday- the official 21 week mark was nothing less than eventful. I managed to lose another "friend." At this point, I think I have changed my outlook of things and realized that people come and go- the friends that stick it out are the ones worth keeping- the ones that just come around when they want something- even if that something is just gossip to pass on to their own judgmental families- those friends are not worth it. Three weeks until our first shower- and it is so hard to believe that we are getting to that point already! I know it will still be a little early for the traditional "shower time frame"- but it means alot to have my family there, and being able to catch the growing cousins before they traipse off to their various colleges and school lives means alot. I come from such a large family- that people don't believe me when I tell them that ...
