Been a While...

Why is it that I always think of something to write as I'm lying in bed with no intention of getting up? Oh well. Maybe one day I'll get some of it written down.

But as for now, I'll stick to the present. I signed Brendan up for the Spring session of swimming and Tumblebugs this afternoon then went shopping at Walmart. I was impressed. He was extremely well behaved for a good 2 hours. I let him run around a fair bit. He's pretty good about that. He'll giggle and run away, but then turn around and wait for me to catch him. He's not a big fan of staying strapped in the cart. He much prefers to sit underneith. And as long as he gets to hold something he's happy as can be.

And I suppose, since I have been less than great at sitting down and writing, I should mention that we are expecting again! I'm about 20 weeks along and due July 24th. I'm excited, but this is so different thanthe first time. I still don't feel pregnant! No morning sickness, no unusual cravings, nothing! I mean, I'm showing and I can feel the little thing squirming around in there, but I don't FEEL pregnant. I actually forget sometimes!

Don't know yet if it's a boy or girl. The technician for my latest ultrasound was, um, how do you say... not good. The ultrasound took almost twice as long as it should have, she obviously didn't want to touch me and told me there might be a gas bubble in the way (SO TRY TO MOVE IT!!!) because she couldn't see the nose or upper lip. First off, I don't think she was supposed to say something like that. If I wasn't so angry, I'd probably have freaked out over that! THen she seemed really pissed off that my husband and I wanted to see the image. I never did get to see, only my husband did. I learned two things from this. A) never book an appointment right before lunch (maybe she was just really hungry?) and B) I won't go there again. I'll go to either the place I went for my first pregnancy or to the one at my GP's office.

So for now, we're calling it Due (Italian for Two). I kinda like it.

Should get to bed. Clocks spring forward tonight and Brendan and I have to get up early to head downtown. We're going to a St. Patty's Day Brunch with another Mommy friend (whom I've known for about 20 years). Erin Go Braugh!
