I can’t wait…to dance!

Ok, new series of posts planned. DH and I were talking about what we are most looking forward to in parenthood. I’m going to post them a little at a time. I can’t wait to dance with my child. When they are little just twirling them in my arms…and later I can move the furniture out of the way and teach them to jitterbug like my mom did with my sister and I. I love to dance and I love music. When I was a kid it felt like we danced every day. My dad would put records on and I’d dance and dance. I said when I turned 5 (and was, of course, all grown up) Dad would take...

That Beautiful Heartbeat

Posted by on Aug 16, 2008 in Pregnancy | 2 comments

Today I had a midwife appointment and got to hear the baby’s heartbeat with doppler. She warned us that it can take some time to find and then “bam” she laid the sensor on my belly dead on. This isn’t our baby but here is an example of what we heard: Fetal Heartbeat. Mom asked “did it sound like a girl or a boy heartbeat!” LOL. The top of my uterus (fundus) is about 2 inches below my belly button! She asked if we are having twins, lol. So I must be carrying high or something. I also lost 4 lbs for a total of 6 lbs lost and I was worried but she...

Depositions and Headaches

Posted by on Aug 12, 2008 in Pregnancy | 1 comment

DH and I went to a deposition today for an accident we were in 2 1/2 years ago.  The accident was a 3 car pile up with us smushed in the middle but it also involved 2 dogs loose on the expressway so it is kind of messy who is responsible.  Anyway, it was weird being questioned thoroughly.  It was mostly civil but my lawyer and the defense lawyer kind of got into it at one point.  I felt like I was on an episode of law and order. Friday is my next midwife appointment and I’m ramping up with questions.  My two biggest concerns are weight and headaches.  I haven’t gained any...

Witty post title

Finally back from my leadership development program.  It is more like therapy than training.  Learning about yourself and such.  Basically, I’m an extreme extrovert with sunshine beaming out of my butt.  It has its pros and cons.

Beautiful Crib

DH and I set up the crib last night.  It is so beautiful it made me want to cry.  My mom bought us the bedding set of vintage black toile and DH’s mom bought the black finish crib.  It is so amazing I can’t stop looking at it.  I’ll post pictures soon. I’m sitting in a nice hotel right now on business travel.  Fortunately I’m actually not far from home and didn’t have to fly for a change! I hope my morning sickness hides its head for the week
