You deserve it



There are a lot of expressions out there that I can't even begin to explain; this game gets even more fun when trying to explain stupid expressions to those who are learning English as a second language because let's face it -- half of what we say makes no sense.  There's more than one way to skin a cat?

I digress.

"You guys deserve to be pregnant."

Listen.  I'm not one for disagreeing with the collective awesomeness of Porch & I, but I'm fairly confident that pregnancy isn't something that comes about because someone 'deserves' it.  I could go further into this notion with talk of science and point to the recent political conversations that make me want to punch a wall (really, degrees and/or legitimacy of rape?!  http://www.rhrealitycheck.org/video/2012/08/29/wisconsin-lt-gov-says-rape-is-rape-but-there-can-be-more-forcible-rape), however I value my sanity and assume you value yours as well.

While feeling down I do admit that I've allowed myself to ask questions like "why me?" or better, "why NOT me?" but I know that it's not because Porch & I are bad people or did something wrong and are being punished.  When it comes down to it -- it's science and a cycle.
hmmmm... its here some where just saw it..baby making..hmm..it says we need to have sex...
Or just pray a lot because I'm sure that'll also solve the problem

So can we please stop using deserve in the same sentence as pregnant?
Have an intense need to use 'deserve'?

"You deserve to be punched in the face.  With a chair. "
Now that's funny.
Admit it - you laughed.

Happy hump day!
xoxo

It is not 1950; I do not vacuum in pearls.

Hi, it's me - I know it's been a while, but I've been deep inside that bubble I mentioned when everything first happened in November 2020 and I am starting to emerge having done some serious healing and navigating within the trauma of being a suicide survivor and a sole parent. This has nothing to do with that though. I'm dumping this thought here because I need it documented: You know how the conservative crowd tends to use "Well I don't have any children, why should I help pay for the schools?" and "People are just too lazy to work, I don't know why we need social services to help people pay for their child care and food?" I'm noticing those are the same voices I hear in restaurants complaining that there are no servers. No bartenders. No one available to change their oil or to do other trade work. And no one to watch their children.  The CEO of the company I work for posted a big response about how child care is the gatekeeper to folks...

35 weeks = 35 days to go!

We might have a name picked out (nothing like waiting until the last minute).  We're not sharing and it's only partly because we want it to be a surprise.  It's also because I'm a little nervous that we'll change our minds when we meet her.  Though I'm like 95% sure she will fit right into this name.  It's perfect and I love it. I also think I started nesting this week.  I got home on Monday night and went to town cleaning, organizing, everything.  We have her crib ready for her, which seems funny because I'm pretty sure she'll be hanging with us in our room for a while ;)  Her room is coming together, things are getting put away and organized and it makes me so happy! How far along?  35 weeks Progress:   None.  Cervix is closed, she hasn't dropped -- she ain't goin' no where anytime soon. Total weight gain:   I've gained 19 pounds total (my guess is that's 59% Drumsticks -- which I have found a replacement for:   ...

12 weeks

There's something liberating about sharing the news.  While it took a great deal of time to muster the courage to click submit for our Facebook announcement, once I did, it was like I could finally stop sucking it in.  I don't have to worry about if I'm showing and I can pretty much just let it all hang out.  (Cue sigh of relief)  I have to say though, it's weird when people say I'm showing.  That's not baby, that's just fat.  That was there before.  But alas... That being said, I haven't had much in the way of morning sickness until recently and yesterday morning I woke up and got my ass kicked.  But hey, it's worth it to know there's a tiny human in there who will soon enough be felt drop-kicking me from the inside.   How far along?  12 weeks Total weight gain:   I'm still technically negative, but creeping my way towards a gain. Maternity clothes?   Love maternity tops for the extra length and I am getting close...
