for Jane, and anyone else interested in baby stuff.. |
the prenatal class went really well (that was Thurs).. ..M and I are feeling
much closer again with the baby closing in.. ..some positions led to
massage, which M was very much in need of. she was just too shy to ask me,
and I've been unsure where the line was.. ..we both want to spend a lot
more time together, and have been.. ..get tuned into each other, so that, at
the very least, I can be an effective birthing partner for her.. ..and for
the sake of the baby..
ALSO..had another ultrasound yesterday.. ...and we found out it's going to
be a boy! we also got some really good angles on his face, and he stuck his
tongue out at us and sorta put his fingers in his mouth.. ..he looks cute,
as far as ultrasound images go, (seeing cross-sections of skeletal structure
can be kinda creepy and unsettling at times) he's already 5lbs.. ..perfectly
healthy, positioned properly.. ..=)
we were both hoping for a girl.. ..but I kept having dreams it was going to
be a boy.. ..M's really excited now that she can refer to the baby as he,
or him.. ..instead of "it", or "the baby". I'm not dissapointed, but I sure
would *like* the experience of having a daughter.. ..I had lots of female
cousins growing up, (no boy cousins at all), and I always knew how to make
them laugh and keep them entertained - just the comfort of familiarity
maybe - I seem to know what makes little girls tick more-so than little
boys.. ..of course I was one of the latter.. .but that's different..
anyway..
...we're getting together this evening/night.. ..no real plans yet.. ..but
since N's bro is sick (really bad strep throat), I didn't get to kidswap, so
N's going to be joining us.. ..which is really good actually when I thought
about it, (I'm just so used to getting rid of N before getting together with
peers. .which I'm realizing isn't always necessary, or the best choice)..
...I want to get him ready for the idea of a new baby brother.. ..and he and
M get along really well, (the last time we all hung out together, we were
picking out a movie at a rental place, and N kept saying "M---! M---! go to
M---'s house! Hi M---! Hi M---!..etc." it was kinda embarassing, as he was
yelling it across the store to her.. ..but she thinks he's the cutest
thing too (he really is adorable)
he was being super cute this morning.. ..I can't really put my finger on
what it was. ..but he was sitting at the table eating his oatmeal, and
"mmmmm"ing with delight with each spoonful, amidst chattering to me about
toys and "daddy's up, daddy go potty?".. ..and his huge eyes, smiling at
me.. ..I just want to take a big bite out of him sometimes..
how are you this morning SJ?

Good idea, I hope you can continue with this thought pattern and not get
overly emotional to the point of being obsessive about it, know what I
mean?

Yay!!!! Well you've a lot of practice with little boys...

Seriously you think having a son can be a handful, girls in my opinion are
so much more difficult. From the day my two were born, my daughter was
always more emotional, more demanding, more bratty, more everything. My son
was ADHD and a handful, but compared to my daughter, there really was a huge
difference. I love them both and wouldn't trade either one for anything
other then who they are, but my observation and from others have said back
to me, boys are just so much more easier.
..we're getting together this evening/night.. ..no real plans yet.. ..but
since N's bro is sick (really bad strep throat), I didn't get to kidswap,
so
N's going to be joining us.. ..which is really good actually when I

Awww, good, has she seen him at his worse? I recall you saying she was
talking about how she was planning on raising this child and it sounded a
bit fairy tale'ish. Maybe a good dosage of this is what a child "can" be
like would be a good dose of reality.

Oh yeah little ones can be such angels at time and make it all worth the
while.
how are you this morning SJ?
I'm good, just getting ready for my Saturday out with the kids.

oh, I know what you mean.. ..it's definitely an emotional precipice..
..with her being very hormonal, and both of us having some baggage and
lingering feelings for one another.. ..just sorting through it all
responsibly is a challenge..
Yay!!!! Well you've a lot of practice with little boys...
the good part is that, yes, experience. but also clothing.. ..I've saved
all of N's nicer clothing, (on the chance it would be a boy), so now I don't
have to buy so much.. ..same for other things, like toys an furniture etc..
...(though I like to keep toys and stuff pretty androgenous/wide-spectrumed)

I keep hearing that too.. ..so I'll count my blessings, and temper my
dissapointment with that knowledge.. =)

not really.. ..she's seem him get a little pouty/whiny at restaurants, (when
he's done eating, but nobody else is, and he just wants to run around
wreaking havoc, not sit in his chair). but yeah, she hasn't spent a lot of
time with him. when we were going out, she always kept a comfortable
distance.. ..for his sake, she didn't want to bond with him really deeply,
and risk hurting him if we broke up.. ..but as it is.. ..we're broken up,
and pretty much kept together by our baby, so she's a lot more willing to
get involved with someone who will be her son's big brother..
I'm good, just getting ready for my Saturday out with the kids.
cool.. ..so it's becoming a regular thing.. ..good for you guys! hope you
have a blast shopping.. ..I'm thinking of taking M and N out shopping this
afternoon.. ..now that we can start buying the proper clothes for baby..
...time for N's nap first.. ..and I think I'll have one too..
