July 9, 2005 - Things and such
Uh, I know I was going to post when I got home - oops! Anyway, my Grandmother is doing well. She ended up having her hospital stay extended, though, so she didn't get out until the day after my sister and I left AK. Our Mother stayed on an extra week to help Grams out around the house and get settled back in. My Mother, though I love her dearly, is a bit of a disaster. Before we left she pulled a such a classic Mom stunt...Jesse showed up at her house to pick her up the morning of our flight (she lives about 2 1/2 hours away and we were flying out of Oakland) and she had no idea where her purse was. After a half hour they found the purse and Mom realized there was no ID in it. No ID no flying. They tore the house apart to no avail. So, Jess and I had to fly up alone. Mom finally found an old ID and I got her a new ticket for a few days later. Argh! We flew out last minute, so the tickets were already outrageosly expensive, and the change fee is another $50.
Anyway, Alaska was a beautiful as ever. I got to see a lot of my family that I haven't seen in a long time, and Grams was delighted to see Jess and I and both of our pregnant bellies. Speaking of which, I am finally starting to show someplace other than my boobs (they are a freakin' D cup now - up from an A, for god's sake!)
We had our first ultrasound last week. The baby was not very cooperative, I am afraid. As soon as the tech found the baby, he/she rolled right over and mooned us. So, all we have are two pictures of a baby back and butt. *sigh* Cute as all hell, though. I am pretty sure this level of non-cooperation indicates that the baby is a girl. She was probably rolling over to hide the horns.
We have been talking about the birthing options for the Squirm, and we are thinking of delivering at an alternative birthing center. I mulled over a home birth, since I love this place and I feel really peaceful here, but with our family history of breach births (Grams had 2, Mom had 3) and such things, I am a little worried. I know those things aren't supposed to be genetic, but I would rather be safe than sorry, you know?
Anyway, now that the second trimester is here and I am getting my energy back, I am starting to feel much more social, so you will probably actually see me now and then! woohoo!
More later, now the baby needs ice cream!
