Still sick, but better.

Graem and me still have our colds but we seem a bit better this morning. We both woke up around the same time before Margot left and Graem is not coughing but sounds pretty stuffy.

I have some major mucus going on and tried to get it out and almost lost my breakfast in the sink. I think that might be one of those things that as a pregnant lady I just can’t do - hawk up loogies.

We don’t have any plans today other than I’m going to redeem my Christmas present - a prenatal massage with my favorite massage therapist, Melissa. She’s got hands of butter and I can’t wait to get some work done on my hips. Of course, when it comes down to it sometimes she gets a little too close to “the danger zone” and of course my instant reflexes of flexing my butt muscles happens. She thinks it’s a knot she has to work out and tries harder!

Why did I just share that? Really, buttplay isn’t my thing.

Time to get up and go!

At this point in my life I have some free time that I can really devote to getting a mba online and capella university offers a great program that would work with my schedule!

What’s more important is that when I’m ready to return to the workforce in a few years I’ll have an advanced degree and be more marketable than ever.

I’ve been worried over the past few months that this lapse in employment from when I’ve stayed home with the baby will affect my chances of getting another high paying position. If I were to go back and finish my MBA it’d simply look like I took time out to take care of my child…but I was also able to manage my time and obtain an highly sought after degree of education!

Birthday wishes.

January 20, 2008 at 12:07 pm · Filed under Actual posts about being moms

I remember when I was a kid starting at around four years of age I used to always wish that to have a baby brother or sister as part of my birthday wish.

That was a wasted wish til I was about fourteen years old and decided it just wasn’t going to happen and I needed to stop wasting wishes. I think I then moved on to bigger and better wishes of riches and cars.

Then when I turned twenty-one my birthday wishes went back to having and wanting a baby of my own. That’s been the case for the past ten years or so, minus the year that Graem was a month old.

For the first time in a very long time — I didn’t use my birthday wish on a baby brother/sister or son or daughter. Instead, I just hope that this baby I have in my belly is healthy and happy when he/she arrives in 16-20 more weeks.

Another year goes by!

Well, I sure do feel older this morning. Graem and I have been battling this cold for a few days now and last night I got it full force. I have a sore throat and a yucky runny nose. With those symptoms and then my restless, achy, and painful legs and hips I ended up moving to the couch at 3 o’clock this morning.

I figured if I could be comfortable at least I could get a little bit of sleep.

No such luck.

My nose is so clogged that even after blowing I can’t seem to breathe throw my mouth - so it makes my lips cracked and chapped! Then of course, my hips and legs are still cramping up and I just can’t seem to get comfortable!

I miss sleeping on my stomach and sometimes I wake up to find myself sleeping on half of it and half on my side.

Of course, just as I wrote that sentence PDB decided to give me a swift kick. She’s so opinionated these days! You’d think she were paying rent or something.

I’m in heaven.

So I’ve just fallin’ in love again. With a new dessert, of course. I seriously love sweets and my favorite has always been a good chocolate dessert.

Grammy has become friends with a young girl, I, from school and yesterday I decided to check out I’s mother’s Patisserie.

I purchased a tart of Sixth Avenue which has:

Chocolate cake, coffee buttercream, hazelnut meringue, Chocolate mousse, creme brulee, and chocolate ganache. The chocolate is perfectly sweet and literally melts in your mouth. The different layers compliment each other and leave you with a smile on your face.

We still have four fifths of the German Chocolate tart in the fridge and I think I should probably save that one for Margot. However, I could easily eat that one too and blame it on the baby?

I would love to have a big Sixth Avenue cake for my birthday this weekend! *HINT*HINT*
