1.  A cool night that gave me one of the best night’s sleep I’ve had in weeks, followed by a cool morning.  I could get used to this. 2.  Dinner last night with the youngest SD was a success.  Chicken & cheese enchiladas – they’re a pain in the butt, and I was tired, but [...]

1.  Rain, rain, glorious rain!  Last night was miserably hot – because we’ve moved our bedroom into the stifling no-windows room to make way for Thor – but today is shaping up to be a nice, pleasantly cool day.  Thank you, Universe! 2.  Nellie’s back to normal.  Flea situation seems to be OVER – we’ll [...]

1.  I got to spend time yesterday with Mo, which always makes me happy, and today I get to have lunch with Alyssa, who always makes me laugh, and on Wednesday I’m going to lunch with Dora, whom I’ve been dying to meet since, well, basically forever.  There are some bad things about living in [...]

1.  Made it through the day yesterday without going into labor.  Given the day, this was a good thing. 2.  The flea program seems to be working.  Found a single baby flea on Nellie this morning, so I’ll re-do, but seriously, it’s so much better that I have great hope that we’re going to be [...]

1.  SuperStarOB told me yesterday that if I go into labor they won’t do anything to try to stop it.  Which means he thinks Thor is capable of doing just fine on the outside.  Which is an awesome and completely humbling thought. 2.  My dog is recovering.  She’s moving slowly still, sleeping more than usual [...]

1.  My husband voluntarily brought out his baby books when we were at his mom’s, waiting for the dog to be dropped off.  Inspired, I bought a baby book.  For my baby.  Who’s going to be here soon. Holy shit.  I’m the luckiest woman in the whole world. 2.  Nellie is feeling much better, as [...]

1.  Either today or tomorrow is my last day of shooting up with Lovenox.  Ever. May it also be the last time I ever have to inject myself with ANYTHING.  How cool a concept is that? 2.  Being home is splendid, even if I’m not spending the first bit of time at home doing quite [...]

1.  Home.  Did I mention how happy I was to be home?  I am.  Happy.  Home.  Whew. 2.  Picking up Nellie today.  OMG, I am looking forward to getting that dog back underfoot where she belongs! 3.  Had my first 8 mos. doctor appointment this morning, and the Boy woke up at the crack of [...]

1.  I woke up from one of yesterday’s afternoon naps only to find myself nose to nose with a lizard.  The little guy was about an inch and a half from nose (his nose!) to tail, and seemed as alarmed to find that this new nifty heat source (me!) was alive and blinking back at [...]

1.  Some of you may remember that I have a ‘thing’ for insanely complicated, teensy-tiny-stitches, cross stitch.  I’m currently about 1/3 of the way through a Christmas stocking for Thor that I started in early May and have been working on between 2 & (while in Italy) 9 hours a day.  The pattern runs to [...]
