I Haz A Desk

At which I am currently sitting at in an battered but comfy chair. It’s kind of nice not to have my laptop perched on the edge of a chair’s arm.

But more importantly, the reason I have a desk is that it was moved from the office/third bedroom to make room for the crib. Tomorrow there is massive amounts of cleaning happening. In the office, in the living room, just lots of cleaning. And somewhere in there I go see the midwives.

Most of my days lately have just involved trying to get into a comfortable position while sitting. While Sarah thwarts those plans by sticking her head/foot/some body part just under my ribs. Two weeks ago the midwife was all “well, she’ll start slowing down now, less moving because she’s getting bigger and there’s less room to move around in there”. Uh huh. Somehow I don’t think Sarah got the memo. Of course my child is going to be stubborn. I don’t think she’d be my child otherwise.

Oh, unofficially, we’ve started a baby pool. No money involved, but if you wanna take a stab at when Miss Sarah will be making her arrival into this world, go right ahead. My baby sister has already claimed Nov. 4th, cause she thought it would be kinda cool for Sarah to be born on election day.

Four More Weeks

That’s right, as of today, I am 36 weeks pregnant. And boy do I feel it.

Getting to sleep and staying asleep is an adventure. Solid eight hour nights are going to be a thing of the past until Sarah is sleeping through the night. When I stand up, I can’t see my feet, that’s how big I’m getting. I’m not sure how I feel about that. My bellybutton is threatening to become an outie. That never happened with Liam. And best of all (sarcasm), the nausea has returned. Depending on what I eat, when I eat or how much I eat, my stomach protests. All perfectly normal the midwives assure me.

Next week is the bigger milestone. 37 weeks is typically considered “full term”. That means Sarah has pretty much done all her important growing and can survive outside the womb should I go into labor. So, yeah, after next week, all bets are off as to when she’ll arrive. Then Brad goes and tells me stories of one of his online friends who, despite all the ultrasounds saying there was only one baby, had twins. Good God, if that happens…… Now there have been twins, on my mother’s side of the family, but none in two generations. I prefer to think the two ultrasounds I had were correct and that Sarah’s the only one in there.

So basically at this point, it’s all sit and wait. The office/nursery is almost clean so we’ll be moving the crib in there soon. We have everything else we need; stroller, car seat, playpen. Clothes are coming from my family.  Here’s to waiting.

Meta: In Defense Of The ‘Twighlight’ Vampires

DISCLAIMER: I want to start this post off by stating for the record that I have never read, not do I intend to read, the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyers. Everything I know about the series comes from hearsay, rumor, the internet and most of all Stoney321’s cracktastic reviews of the books, found here. Read more

They say that hate is a strong word. Well, it’s not strong enough to say how I feel about Brad Wright, Robert C. Cooper and anyone else involved in the cancellation of Stargate:Atlantis. Read more

I Love My Muse Some Days

I am currently working on something that has past (and probably future) Carson/Teyla, will have Teyla/Lorne and knowing me will end up as Carson/Teyla/Lorne. It’s going to be so much fun.

(For all those who are here for the Buffy fic, I haven’t abandoned it. The muse just wants to play in the Stargate sandbox for a while. I figure it’s best to keep her happy.)

Today Was Happy Making

First was a third place finish in Best Romance (behind two AWESOME authors, I am humbled to be in their company) and First place in Best Future fic at the Bodice Ripper Awards, both for Being Chosen Sucks.

Second, the preview for my SGA Big Bang story is getting raves, so I’m anxiously looking forward to the big reveal!

Thirdly, I have an absolutely GORGEOUS pants suit for my middle sister’s wedding (which is next Friday!). It’s a silvery blue and it’s just…… I was quite pleased actually with the selection of bigger women’s clothes in two of the stores we went to, so that made me even happier.

How was your day?
