BAD DOG

This little terror just ate my kniting needles. Good thing he’s adorable.

Sometimes I’m crazy

I can’t believe I’m up at 7:30 a.m., much less going to work (a small contract, not REAL work).
Why do I agree to these things?
Urgh.

Waiting for the glow

I’ve finally passed the 13-week mark and am in my 2nd trimester, and after seeing the doctor a couple days ago and seeing that the baby was good and healthy (and hearing the heartbeat on the Doplar), Hubby and I breathed a collective sigh of relief. And then we posted the ultrasound pictures on Facebook [...]

Oh yes I am

Listening to Christmas music and dancing around the house.
A return of my appetite is surely worth this celebration.

Let me tell you about being pregnant and having sex

(Because someone posted a comment about it and I can’t respond to comments.)
Hubby and I have had sex about three times since I got pregnant. Why? Well, at first (in the beginning at 4-5 weeks) I would get really bad cramps after sex and that freaked me out because severe cramping is a sign of [...]

Warning: Pregnancy hormones in full swing

I’m having one of those days where I’m doubting everything. Okay, not everything. Only one very specific thing. Hubby. It started today when I was fooling around online and plugged in data for our Chinese horoscope compatibility. The result? Completely incompatible. Of all of the Chinese signs, we are the two LEAST likely to work [...]

Almost, but not quite

I went to a local Irish pub for lunch today and ordered Shepherd’s Pie mostly because I wanted the mashed potatoes and was too lazy to make some for myself.
The pie comes and underneath the mashed potatoes, there is spaghetti sauce.
I’m so used to these little oddities about China that they don’t really bother me [...]

I am slowly dying

So I caught a cold. Usually this wouldn’t really be the end of the world, but the thing is pregnant women can’t take very many medications when they’re sick because they’re bad for baby. The medications I CAN take, I don’t have access to in China. So basically, I’m feel like I’m dying a slow [...]

So maybe I’m an aunt

I don’t know if I ever posted about this, but nine months ago, my brother had a one-night-stand with a girl who said she was on The Pill and I guess they didn’t use condoms because low and behold, she called him afterwards and said she was pregnant. This girl, it turns out, also slept [...]

It’s official, I’m in love.

On the ultrasound, we saw this little thing wiggle around and its little heart beating up a storm. Hubby cried, which made me cry. Now I can’t stop looking at the picture and thinking, "Holy shit, this is INSIDE me!"
