First in a while...

Howdy all. So, CadyAnn is almost 6 months old now. Ridiculous, right? I am hoping I don't have skin cancer or pre-cancer because we found a mole on my head that looks... a little freaky. Definitely not normal. I am going to see if my OB will at least look at it when I go see him for my 6 mo. followup February 11.

It's my 22nd birthday. Woot. Basically, yesterday sucked... Awkwardness. I don't really wanna go into it here, tho. Not right now.

Now, a little thought about the election and inauguration of Barack Obama. I love that he got elected, and I think that he is a great man with so much potential to do good for our country. I don't think people realize tho, that it shouldn't be surprising that he won over Hilary Clinton. History was just repeating itself. Black MEN always achieve "rights" before women. I say "rights" because it includes the right to vote, the presidency, everything. The only thing women got on them was that we didn't have to sit at the back of the bus before the last civil rights movement, as long as they weren't black women. Anyway, back to my blog. Black people gained the right to vote 50 years before women ever did. So, by electing a black man for president, to me, it really does mean that women do have a chance! I just think it's sad that there are such racial and gender inequalities. Hail to the white protestant man, I guess.

I also think it's sad that our nation, and perhaps the world, is turning Obama into a celebrity. He's a president, not a Jonas Brother. Gimme a break! I like him, too, but I'll be damned before I buy an Obama bobblehead doll, I <3 Obama shirt, Obama plate or plaque... WTF?!

So, those are my thoughts for now. My baby is crying and needs her mommy, so ta ta.

34 weeks and still chuggin' along

So, I had my 34 week doctor's appointment yesterday. Things mostly checked out good. I am getting nervous, though. My blood pressure was rising again. My weight is down. Her heart rate was 156 bpm, the highest it's ever been. I go back in two weeks from yesterday and start my weeklies.

Her nursery is almost completely done. Our bags are nearly packed. It feels so weird to think that I'm going to be bringing her home in just over a month. A new human is going to be living at my house, with her own room and her own things. There will be this little girl staring up at me, waking me, holding me, needing me. (Not kneading me... anymore.) And then, I'll look like this tired, dilapidated, scared shitless young mom. Incredible.

And, just when I feel like I can't get any bigger, I'm going to keep growing. At 35 weeks (next Tuesday), my uterus will be 35 cm from my pubic bone to the top of my uterus. That's as "tall" as it gets. After that, I just start growing outward. I can't just stop, you mean?! There is no more room for two of us!

In ten days, she'll get her 30 day notice of foreclosure in the mail. Then, her eviction notice will come because we are renovating her little apartment and downsizing the place!

A few more weeks in the oven and she'll be to term, and I'll be waaay past ready to squeeze her little patootie outta there. I'm going to RUN up and down the stairs to my apartment!

My first blogspot blog

I am 34 weeks pregnant today. It's hotter than hell and I am ready to be done. This is our first child, and according to everybody but my dad, it's a girl. We're naming her CadyAnn Michaelle. The three of us are going to be living in a 2 bedroom apartment (Kelly and I already live there), with our two birds, Izzy and Maunie and our kitty, Jinx. Full house, no?

Kel and I don't see each other much these days, we work perfectly opposite schedules.
I work early mornings til about 2 p.m. give or take a half hour to an hour, and he works (when he's not doing OT) 2 p.m. to 11 p.m. We really get to missing each other.

We have been married for just over a year. We tied the knot May 19, 2007, but have been together since December 26, 2003. We met December 17, 2003.

So... that's all for now, since I'm just getting started. Ta ta.
