our little p

Before husband checks his google reader and tells me that everyone is going to think I don't love our little 15 week old parasite. I am thrilled, we are thrilled. Yes...he/she was "planned", I can't believe how many people have asked us this. Yes we were "trying" (how disgusting, no one wants to hear about that, except for my pilates class, pledge class, friends or co-workers) but I was still shocked...SHOCKED, because after various Dr. experiences I thought it would take forever and intervention.

Here is the cute little parasite, and how this ultrasound came to be is a whole other story of neurotic.

Just kidding, blogger will not load it right now, I will try it again later.

you didn't know?!

I use to watch TLC's I didn't know I was pregnant in amazement, horror, and disbelief. I caught a few minutes of an episode the other night and felt this at a whole new level I had to turn it off before I hunted down this woman to slap her. How do these women not notice?!
How do they not notice:
-the constant nausea with the no warning gags
-being so tired that you can even fall asleep to The Real Housewives
-pestering your husband and then crying because you are so sorry you were mean, in the same sentence
-your chest hurting so bad that you don't want to go outside because if there is a breeze you will cry
-hair growing out of new places
-throwing up at home, in the car, at work, in parking lots, in bushes, restaurants...
-p'ing every 6
-a canine like sense of smell
-headaches, headaches, headaches
-never going to the bathroom
-your chest tripling in size in a matter of 8 weeks
-not to mention the color change, HELLO

Oh, if you didn't know we are pregnant, but only I am experiencing the "joy". Why can't we share, I would even take 70/30...80/20. Is this still all because Eve ate the apple, have we not paid enough!

3/17/10 confessional

- one of the downstairs bedrooms is currently one nightstand or mirror without a home, load of laundry that i don't feel like folding, and bag of Christmas decorations away from looking like a scene from Hoarders
- i ate half a grapefruit and some cheese for dinner
- i left hummus making dishes in the sink overnight/plus being at work in soapy water and then almost cried when my kitchen smelled like a garlic burp the next day when Katie stopped over
- i miss N the most on Tuesdays
- i am trying to think of my 4 inch by 3 inch bruise+scabs from being bit by a 2.5 yr old as a badge of patience
- when my pilates teacher put my in ideal body position today i felt like a Neanderthal, how screwed up is my posture that when i am in "ideal" posture i feel like a caveman
- today i am trying to convince myself that someday i will have the same good news and exciting first picture
- i wore green today even though i didn't want to
- i had to remind myself at least 3 times today that it is never a 3 yr olds fault that they smell like pee and smoke. they need the same hugs, and even the jcrew pants i bought the day before can be washed of it all

crackhead alert

this morning as a 5 yr old boy with autism and i walked to the bathroom he said " i haven't seen you for lots of days when i was at school" my reply " i was on vacation, i went to costa rica for two weeks to celebrate my birthday" his reply "when i am a MAN you and i could go on vacation together.....but when i am a man i will probably have to go on vacation with my mom too so she doesn't get mad"

once back in the classroom i said "(insert name), it is 8:14 in one minute we are going to start working" "my name is not (insert name) i am crackhead" a minute goes by "insert name, it is time to work" ..running around in circles with a toy bin on his head.. "MY NAME IS CRACKHEAD...CRACKHEAD ALERT CRACKHEAD ALERT CRACKHEAD ALERT CRACKHEAD ALERT CRACKHEAD ALERT....can i work to be a crackhead?" "of course, sit down it is time to work"

does watching the biggest loser make anyone else extremely hungry? maybe it is because how hard they are working, or maybe i am just mean and want to eat in front of them

back from CR

We are back from my birthday trip to Costa Rica, it was amazing and now I am 25! We visited Monteverde, Arenal, La Fortuna, Playa Dominical, M-something, San Jose and a few other towns along the way. It was an amazing experience and I am so grateful for a husband that works so hard so we can play so hard!

thoughts on today: does anyone really love LOVE their job all the time?

tivo is not a luxury but a necessary means of time management.
I got home from walking/ice skating Oscar through Parley's Canyon not too excited about my night to find GOLD waiting for me, a new Kell on Earth, 2 Secrets of Aspen, Oprah, Shear Genius and Bad Girls Club!

and why did I think it was a good idea to trek into the gully, because a mother will do anything for their baby, even after calling Nick to tell him that if he did not hear from me by 6 to send a search and ate @#$%^ several times in the first few minutes I did it for love to see that silly puppy slide on the ice and try to go swimming. when he put a little paw into the water and realized how cold it was he growled at it, adorbs! In the next few days when I am sitting on the beach of Costa Rica turning 25 I will have a big bruise on my saddlebag to remind me of these good times!

*i am going to call my own bluff on a previous post, I was watching the nightly news, Chelsea Lately round table, and heard that a woman in the UK found a way to breastfeed her dog, so i am clarifying that i would/will not feed Oskie from my bosom!

true - today

- today i woke up at the time i usually leave for work, and i still left the house wearing matching shoes, took the puppy to daycare, went to starbucks and arrived to work ON TIME how so?
- i got lost and ended up on the west side on my way to pilates, which i go to twice a week
- i had no idea the state of the union was on until oscar changed the channel when he was asking me for a piece of popcorn, which was part of my dinner
- i found a gluten free sugar cookie that tastes like a cookie
- i wore black and brown together in an acceptable way
