la de da
So we were promised a week of sunshine and all that and so far we have had none. FAIL! It’s super dark and stormy out right now though which is pretty neat. Although my phone thinks we are in Sao Paulo…ha.
I am finding that people are treating me less and less like a person and more like a baby-carrying vessel/time bomb, and I do not appreciate that very much. Here are some examples of people who are successful at NOT doing that:
ANYONE who is still treating me like a person. This includes most of work (even as some people drive me crazy for other reasons…), all of Twitter, and many people such as…
Jenny, who speaks to me of her real estate quest
Diana, who speaks to me of her sister drama
Christie, who speaks to me of the actual BABY, which is the POINT of all this (vs the pregnancy/birth)
Andrea, who jokingly suggested a Twitter account devoted to my cervix (LOL!)
Kristin, who has not contacted me at all, she probably feels bad about that because she is too good, but honestly I appreciate it! I will see her tomorrow
Kelly, who speaks to me of her babies and ALSO just went through this, so gets it
My mom, who speaks to me of her wren house and yoga class
Jeff, who even though he sees more of ever-growing me than anyone and is more involved with this than anyone, just expects me to do my regular things like go to the gym, go to work, weed the garden, etc., but also accompanies me to appointment after appointment…he is a champ!
I am doing a pretty dang good job, for me, of just chilling and expecting this girl to arrive whenever she is good and ready. That’s the deal. And of course, part of this is that I just want her to arrive healthy and OK, and I feel grateful to be here. So I am trying hard to be relaxed. Anytime I am relaxed in life, I find that SHOCKING. So it is a challenge when others are not this way, and it is not even their body they are constantly monitoring. HA!

My Grace!
This would be the perfect day to stay home and watch all of Season 2. Alas. here I am.
TIME TO WORK!
