Bits and Pieces

Shower is being scheduled for April 2, it appears, and will be at my house. (Hosted by my mom and Amy, so not a massive breach of etiquette. This sidesteps the restaurant thing, and also means the presents are opened in their final destination. Nice.)

Dave, to me, last night: "You know, you like to get up and go off for the night, and you haven’t done it in a while, and you probably should before the baby comes, because you’re probably not going to be able to for a long time after that happens…" Man, I love him.

Closest I got to maxing my blood sugar was 114, after eating a GINORMOUS bowl of triple berry oatmeal crips + a whle banana with skim milk. I mean, HUGE.  The fake crappuccino and animal crackers from the vending machine, plus a chicken salad, swiss  and veggies on ww wrap + 16oz lemonade/raspberry iced tea combo (SOOOO not sugar free) put me at 97. I had some of a (big) chocolate bar after school today, and have salsa chicken slow cooking for dinner. It’s almost a really fun game to beat the monitor now.

Baby mail! I got a box from an internet auntie (via target) with an activity mat, yay, and my sister sent me a great package as well. I was a little nervous about my sister’s package, since she is sort of flighty (just emailed me a detailed description of the miraculous new invention: the Boppy) but means well, and had said "It’s just a token gift, I wanted to send something…" so I was kind of expecting maybe "baby’s first paring knife" or something similarly in appropriate. She means well, she’s just.. you know. Her.  ANYWAY, she apparently shopped at babystyle or something, as the package included Robeez (a plain gender neutral brown, I can’t WAIT til we know the gender and I can have fun Robeez), a Zutano baby outift of white shirt and red pants, a 3 piece set of a romper, hat, and receiving blanket in a deep blue with embroidered whales, a BIG crib sixed blanket in baby blue, where one side is a silkie nylon (which is sort of an inside joke, as I have a habit from infancy of rubbing bindings between my fingers, the act of which is called "silking" in my family, and the object upon which the act is performed is the "silkie"), a bottle of California Baby Super-sensitive shampoo and bodywash, and for mama, an organic milk chocolate bar, YUM.   

30weeks today! HOLY CRAP!

  1. Hi there! Just discovered your blog & had to comment because I, too, am a “silker” and have never before given it a name or known anyone else to do it. Ha. It is a very soothing habit, indeed. Congrats on the fun presents!
