What we’ve been up to the last week…

May 28, 2009 By loralee 72 Comments

Every time I get a moment to curl up with my laptop I fall asleep in seconds due to exhaustion and being on a lot of drugs, so I have been working on this post for an entire week.

I’ve gotten so many lovely emails, comments, and things in the mail that I need to say how freaking THANKFUL I am to everyone. I love you all. I have also gotten a lot of different questions, so I thought I’d do an FAQ of the last very busy week. It was such a sweet, emotional time I’m not publishing a birth story, I want to keep that between my husband and myself, so this is as close as it gets.

Happy Birthday, Mr. Looney Tunes

May 17, 2009 By loralee 14 Comments

Jonathan turns 33 today.

Thirty-freaking-three.

I will be turning 35 on my next birthday.

That makes me older than he is. Just so you know.

(What I want to know is, does this make me a cougar?)

I thought about creating a fabulous post all about him, but he really doesn’t like me writing about him online. So, the least I can do for his birthday is keep this short to respect his wish to be swathed in mystery and intrigue.

(However, I WILL leave the much-disliked-by-him moniker “Mr. Looney Tunes” in the post title as utter payback for being called “Granny” all week long. Hee.)

Happy Birthday, Sweetpea.

I can’t wait for our little one to get here.

Love,

Your Wif.

37 weeks

May 13, 2009 By loralee 58 Comments

Boring as hell title, isn’t it?

Sorry, I used up all my imagination and hilarity on THIS today, so you’ll have to forgive me.

My fabulous photographer friend, Brigitte, took time out of her very busy week to spend a half-hour shooting some belly shots of me yesterday. I think every pretty photo I have ever taken was due to her talent and mad camera skills.

I’ve never had photos of me taken while pregnant, so I was excited. I had plans to get my hair done (it’s been forever since I’ve been to the salon) and a buy a couple of new shirts but Christopher being home sick from school nixed that. So, I just wore some camis I had on hand and dealt with really bad roots and funky, wavy, air-dried hair with split ends.

She still made me look pretty damn good.

At 37 weeks, I am in the final stretch. The baby is thriving and weighs 6.6 lbs according to today’s ultrasound. The OBGYN told me today that I could deliver a HEALTHY baby boy at any point.

I’m not sure if I’m ready.

Scared to death would be a more accurate description.

THRILLED would be an understatement.

He asked if I wanted to induce labor at some point to make it easier on me. I said NO. My early babies have all had problems. Waiting may not eliminate that but I want him to come when HE dictates if possible.

Even though I am not willing to risk starting my labor, this pregnancy needs to end.

In a GOOD way, please.

Because it is affecting everything and I really, REALLY need to get my body, mind and hormones back in control before I destroy or damage every thing and relationship in my path.

Ugh.

I’m such a downer. Here-have some photos. It will totally cheer you up. You know, if gestating depressive women are your thing. :)
