Woo hoo hoo-ee!!!

Going in tomorrow at 10 to be induced! The BF better update his IMDB. :)

argh whine argh

Argh! Have I turned into a pirate? No, just a frustrated pregnant lady. Granted, my due date isn't until the 31st, but with this gestational diabetes crap, I thought I would have a scheduled induction or C section by now. Technically I do-January fifth, six freaking days after the due date. Granted, I know that it is not unusual to schedule inductions a week or two later-a due date is never 100% accurate, but have I mentioned gestational diabetes? Pricking oneself four times a day? No cookies during the holidays?NOT eating sometimes when you feel hungry? The baby is healthy, and for that I am grateful and relieved, and due to a rigorous diet, I frequently hear, "Oh my God, you still can't tell you're pregnant from the back, but from the side? Holy crap-but you'll get your figure back right away." I want the BABY right away! WHAH!

Eesh. Thank god for the BF, friends, and my supportive family. I hadn't done much complaining until a week ago, but now it's on full force.

Ah, the teeming masses

38 week appt., at receptionist's desk.

KS: "Hi! I'll need to make my next appointment."
Recept: "Sure! When are you due?"
KS: "The 31st."
Recept. takes out calendar wheel and studies it intently.
"So...you're at every two weeks, right?"


KS at Henry and David's, checking out with large box of pears.
Cashier: "So, have you checked your pears today?"

Peace o' my ass!

I bought a small, blue and white cloth bag from Ten Thousand villages containing three stones labeled peace, love and hope. I find blue and white calming, and thought that the smooth stones and/or bag would be a nice focal point during labor.

I'll probably use them to throw at the boyfriend.

To sister, re: 10 month old niece:

KS: What a great Christmas card-she's adorable! Every time I see a Santa I want to buy it for her.

Sister: Now when she sees one, she says "That hohoho". I hope we don't run into any scantily clad bearded ladies.

No, I expect you to die

I SHOULD like James Bond movies-I like action, intrigue and sex, but every time I put one on, it's snoozerama in minutes. I just woke up after missing the last half hour of Goldfinger, and I have no curiosity about the ending.

Honor Schmonor

One or two ego clashes are likely today, so prepare yourself for some disappointing behavior from people you used to respect. You will be thrust into a high stakes situation, and everyone around you will be ready to do whatever it takes to end up on top -- including cheat. This doesn't mean that you have to get down in the dirt with others in order to survive, though. You can rise above the fray. Maintain your honor while you keep your focus on what you need to do.

I don't feel like it. Get me a Kill Bill sword and outfit and lemme at 'em.

Howdyouaspell relief?

Whew! Four college applications done. I wonder who will be more anxious for the results, my son or me. (I? Whatever.) I will be completely unbearable if he gets into his reach school AND I've just had a new baby and am armed with baby pictures. Heh.
