April 26, 2005

Just a bit of random observations and ramblings.  There are many
things I tell myself I ought to write down and I never do.  Maybe
someday I’ll actually have a bonified journal (leather bound and
everything) but for now this neglected blog will have to serve in its
place.
We found out last Tues. the kid I carry in me is  a wee little
lad.   I’m  still in shock.  How can I possibly
have a person in me?  A person complete with a name.  James
Ramsey IV…aka Jamie (until he decides he’d rather be called something
else)
Julia keeps popping into my trailer saying things like,  “Can you
take the baby out so I can play with  it? …I promise I’ll put it
back in your tummy when I’m done” and “Jim won’t teach me how to kiss”
or “Jim won’t let me dress your baby in girl clothes!…but I saw a guy
yesterday who was wearing girl clothes.”
Somebody stop me from getting on the Crossings…it depresses me.
Somebody stop me from using Google.  It takes worries like
preeclampsia, placenta previa, and premature labor right out of the
doctors office and directly at my fingertips.  Google is like fast
food hysteria when you’re pregnant.
We’re all celebrating today because Uncle Vern lost his job (something
he’d been hoping for)  I find that mildly amusing.   He
was supposed to  retire this year, but because they’re selling the
ship he works on as an engineer (the Exxon Valdez) he was hoping
he’d be laid off before he had to retire, so he could get  a
severance package and his retirement.
I need to talk to people more often.
