24 hours of bedrest

Let’s start at midnight, shall we?
12:00am – fetal heartbeat check, which can take as little as three minutes or as long as 30, depending on whether or not Zeuxippe plays nice.  Her latest trick has been to find a place where MY pulse is strong and then hide behind it.  I also get a dose [...]

another day, another hospital

we were transferred yesterday to a different hospital.  This one has the facilities to deal with micro-preemies and long-term bed rest.
The ambulance ride over was fairly uneventful and blessedly quick.  Just long enough for me to start thinking about what a bad idea it is for me to ride in the back of a delivery [...]

Happy holidays!

If you are celebrating today, best wishes to you!  If it’s just another Tuesday, well…I hope you are getting to enjoy a day off.
Once again, nothing to report, which is always good.  Hopefully, the majority of my posts will say the same thing.

A few firsts

We went to S’s company holiday party Saturday night.  I’ve met a handful of them and know many of them by name and anecdote only.  However, while I still have to be introduced to them to be able to put name to face, ALL of them knew who I was immediately.  Most of them came [...]

The fun never ends

Lest I be allowed to forget just how much fun a stealth puke is, this morning found me suddenly christening the interior of the new car with my breakfast blueberry smoothie while in the parking lot of the post office.  At least that gawd-awful, toe-curling gurgling sound that seemed to be my stomach trying to [...]

Barren Bitches Book Brigade

This month’s Barren Bitches Book Tour selection is Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. This is one of my favorite novels. I can’t begin to count how many times I’ve read it, but I do know that I’m on my second paperback copy because the first one fell apart. Below are the three questions [...]
