Oh Baby Baby!

Humph... at some point in the past week it is possible... assuming dear monkey that you exist... that I reached week 10 of you life. Mr.Stick told me again that you did not exist, and if you did not... that what the LMNOP is going on with my body!?!?!?

But if you do exist? Today you weigh the same as four paper clips and are beginning to move. I still can't feel you. Your big accomplishment this week is that you lost your tail. (cough) I am learning so many things about little monkeys... I sure hope you exist!

You are now 'breathing' and this week you start to urinate. Thanks! I've always wanted someone to urinate on my insides... perhaps having all this knowledge is really not needed :P.

Dear Monkey... I love you!

I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. I made it because I put my back out three weeks ago, and I'm still not better. It doesn't hurt all the time now, but I can't sit for more then an hour in a hard chair without being in pain for the rest of the day. And getting up and down from said chair? It's ridiculous!

And so an appointment was made. And when I go to see my doctor, I'm going to discuss you Monkey. If you are going to make your debut, I would like to know. So I can learn more about tails and urination. I also read something yesterday about toddler lead weening onto solids... it was really interesting, and something your dad and I could discuss.

And your dad? He is excited too... keeps telling me to try talking to Mr.Stick again. I don't think he realizes how often I have!

Know this Monkey. If you are with us, you are very much wanted... and your crazy aunt M... she wanted you before we were even trying, and she's going to spoil you rotten!

Sleep tight Monkey.

Baby it's Cold Inside!

I went bowling last night. I was tired of sitting out, as I'd missed our last two weeks.

Today I am paying for it. My back pain is back to an 8 on the pain scale. It hurts to laugh let alone sneeze which I seem to be doing more often as well.

This is week three, and I honestly don't know how much more of this I can take. I asked Alex if I could lie across the sofa he was sitting on this evening, and got an eye roll. I'm not sure how much more of this HE can take.

I want to feel better! Help me feel better!

Oh yeah, and my feet are FREEZING! I am ready for the winter to be over!

How Can I Not Know?

Aunt Flow came to visit last on Dec 14... but my new friend 'Mr.Stick' says 'NO'... grrrrr I don't know what to do!

The problem is this... I've never missed a month, until November. She came to visit in October and missed November... Mr.Stick said 'NO' the whole time, but I thought 'I've never missed before... this must be it!'.. and then BAMB. Almost exactly 2 months on and she comes a knocking.

Now it's been just over 2 months again and I could go see a doctor, but what if she comes to see me tomorrow? So aggravating! Mr. Stick still says 'No'... and when he says 'No' I mean he has said it a half dozen times.

In the meantime I've been watching a pregnancy countdown thing online. IF we actually are a 'Yes', then our little monkey has 20 teeth buds, and is starting to drink fluids this week, his intestines are moving into his body, and if he's poked he moves away.

And we are missing it all. Because we don't KNOW he's there!

Poor little monkey!

Happy Valentine's Day!


I always loved Valentine's day growing up. My parents always got us a small gift of some kind, which always made us feel included in the 'love' holiday... it never seemed like a thing for couples until I moved away from home... and even then I sometimes found a card in the mail. :)
I remember as a kid there was one boy in the class who always gave a pack of cinnamon hearts with his cards each year... didn't even like them, but it was what you ate at the class party!
This year is hubby and my third Valentine's together. It was FAB! Last night he made me dinner, a really yummy roast. He set the table and lit a candle. Sigh. It just makes your heart flutter a bit!
Today, we exchanged cards and a wee bit of candy, and then each spent the day as we liked. I did a Valentine's swap on Ravelry, so I had a package to open from that as well, and it was awesome. My partner really spoiled me. Below is a picture of all the goodies!


What a great day!
