Fuck

Friday, August 29th, 2008

So far, this has been my morning: I woke up happy, but then remembered the email exchange I had with HR yesterday about how the short-term disability policy I’ve been paying into for two years now might not cover my maternity leave. Then I remembered that today is payday, but that my paycheck will only […]

Just about the time I feel like it’s OK to feel really sorry for myself…

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Now I know why people don’t walk through Columbia Park after dark. My friend Ingrid emailed me today to see if I wanted to get together to commiserate about being super pregnant. I told her tonight was my only available night this week and that I was dying to go for a walk. Forgetting that […]

38 Weeks

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Just wanted to post an update that I’m still here, still huge, and still pregnant. Miss Signe doesn’t appear to be in any big hurry, despite the fact that we can both feel how uncomfortably cramped her quarters are getting. At my doctor’s appointment two weeks ago, I was already dilating and effacing (if you […]

16 Tons? Chain Gang?

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

I’m now 37 weeks along, which means Signe is full term and if she was born today she would likely need no interventions and would be perfectly healthy. It’s quite a milestone. It also means that I could go into labor at any second. However, it could also be another 4-5 weeks. As a control […]

Too tired to come up with a good title for this post

Sunday, August 17th, 2008

Probably my least favorite late-pregnancy symptom is this wicked insomnia. It’s 2:26 a.m. and I’m WIDE awake. And it’s far from the first time I’ve been online, reading, or watching TV at some ungodly hour. It’s miserable. I talked to my doctor about it earlier this week and she thinks it’s totally normal, but she […]

My doctor says I probably won’t get much bigger. Let’s pray she’s right.

Signs of my own personal apocalypse

Monday, August 11th, 2008

You know those catalog people who hunt you down and send you endless supplies of Victoria’s Secret and Oriental Trading Company glossies mere minutes after you move into a new place? They are psychic, I swear. I always kinda knew this, because of the fact that it only took a few days to start getting […]

Tic Tac, sir?

Friday, August 8th, 2008

I have this pet peeve about Oregon news. It’s not the bad haircuts, ugly suits, or hokey weather guys. Though they bug me somewhat too. No, what bugs me about Oregon news is that it’s only considered “news” if it’s about Oregon. For example, that helicopter crash in Northern California that killed several firefighters. The […]

Fingers crossed

Friday, August 1st, 2008

Because when you are this pregnant and feeling completely out of control of both your body and your life, you do silly things like this… I saw this link on a pregnancy message board and thought it would be fun. So I filled in the answers and here was their “prediction”: The day you deliver, […]
