A Batch of This and That
I would have used a different post title, like hodgepodge, but I really dislike words that starts with “hodg” . . .
I’m sorry to disappoint those who stumble upon my blog by searching for “well endowed boobs” or similar words / phrases. There is literally nothing to see here folks, so move right along.
For those who found me with “subchorionic hematoma” or “bleeding / spotting” searches, I don’t have any wisdoms to offer except a very heartfelt “I’m sorry”. My doctor did not have a convincing reasoning for what caused mine and no testings were done. At all. It was just “wait and see” and I know that’s not what you want to hear. I’m very sorry and I hope yours resolves like mine has, and that your pregnancy continues to result in a healthy happy baby/babies.
To those who finds me via Julie’s list and spends an hour or more reading my blog without saying as much as a “hello” . . . While it is flattering that you are spending your precious time getting to know me, but, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??? Don’t people say “hello” anymore???
OKay. Back to the regular stuff that is my life.
We have now signed contracts to have our deck built and patio door installed (i.e. signing our life savings away). There is no patio door right now so a new opening has to be cut, and it wouldn’t be so troublesome, except there is a heat register and an electrical outlet on said wall. So we must hire a third and/or fourth company or handyman to take care of the “carpentry work”, and “electrical work”. You see, hubby is not the handy-around-the-house type of guy. I would really like him to be more handy, but no one is perfect. Not even me — I know, what a shock.
Deck / patio door jobs will be starting around mid August, due to the fact that everybody wants a new deck built in the summertime. Since Baby Boy was born 14 days early, I’m guessing Baby Girl will be early as well and arrive right around the same time they are starting to build, or before they complete the jobs.
I joined the local MOMS Club recently. I heard about it from my neighbor who is also a new member and has enjoyed it thus far. I have yet to make new friends, and the paperwork are still being sorted out. I’m looking forward to the playgroup thing that is offered. It will provide our son with more exposure to other children as play pals as well as learning experiences. Summer has just arrived not long ago, but being this is MN, winter is not far away. The playgroup thing will be great during the winter time as we (I mean he) wouldn’t want to spend all day at malls.
In just another three weeks, our baby boy will turn TWO years old! Where has the time gone?! Since we don’t have any experiences with toddlerhood, we are not entirely sure if he has the full fledged “terrible twos” or if he’s just a “mild case”. Or if it’s his teething that’s causing all of this havoc. Whichever it is, it sure is challenging to my low threshold of patience, especially now that I’m huge, uncomfortable, and irritable. However, most days he’s totally a sweetie, making staying home quite enjoyable. Just a few days ago he started to say “I love you, Mama”. Now, how can you stay mad???

Why is it that we always decide to do major remodelling and stuff like that when we’re pregnant? I hope they can finish the jobs before the baby is born!

Good idea with the Mom’s Club - the winter would/could be a killer.

Cherish those “mama”s and expecially the “i love you mama”s. My son is 28 months and has a speech disorder, my dream is to someday hear him say mama. To hear I love you mama would be more than I can think about.
Playgroups are SO great for winter and summer. We love them!

When my inlaws were here just a short time ago all they wanted to do was fix up the house. I was going crazy. I kept saying…just leave my nest ALONE.
I’m wishing you guys luck with everything and hope all the servicemen are pleasant, on time and keep to their original billing quotes!!!
Are you guys doing anything special for the little man or is he still a bit young? I never know how much they understand. I suppose I’ll have to learn pretty quickly!
Hope you’re doing well.
