Things and Stuff.

Hey guys, I got a doctor’s appointment right at 7:30 AM to get some more testing done to see if this baby is killing me or not (so far it’s not). Last night, eating dinner around 6:30, I suddenly and unexpectedly got a migraine that lasted well into the night. After watching House, I took a painkiller and went to bed. Woke up an hour later when Jorenko came to bed. Couldn’t fall back asleep because the painkiller stopped working. Around 1 AM I gave up and took another painkiller, and sat around reading the internet for an hour or so waiting for it to work. It didn’t, so I just went to bed. MIGRAINE IS STILL HERE!

Update @ 11:54 — I still have a baby in me.

Since a person’s identity is willfully purged from the earth when one decides to bring a child to the world, many gifts received this holiday were for the baby I haven’t given birth to yet. The selection of baby clothing is perfectly acceptable: greens, blues, and browns with cute sayings and the like; also with a fair range of sizes so that the gifts aren’t completely useless after 8 weeks. One relative put together a diaper changing starter kit with newborn diapers, all the goos, creams and wipes required, all in a nifty basket.

Two folks decided that we needed a camcorder, so one was returned and we purchased a KitchenAid stand mixer and some music with store credit. Read more

Alright, I’m going to be a completely dorky new mom in this post and share some ideas of what I’m going to do to my kid before s/he’s aware of a mother’s ability to embarrass the hell out of the him/her. Hopefully this will be the only time I do anything along these lines, because I never wanted to become a stupid moodswing-driven love/hatebucket (fucking hormones).

Onesies that are cosplays of some sort. Prints on them that make them look like the outfits of things. Think along the lines of the t-shirt that has a tux-front on it. Lame like that.

A maternity shirt with “ENTIRE TEAM” over my belly while I’m still carrying.

Little plastic nerd shit (mario coins, whatever) instead of generic plastic keys

Nookie that looks like Bowser’s mouth or something equally geeky

possibly give the kid a horribly (but not obviously) nerdy middle name (first names have been chosen, Penelope & Jonas). Middle names considered so far include Arya and other characters from a Song of Ice and Fire.

I’ll update this more when I think of things. If you have any ideas, share.
