http://bitchywitch.blogdrive.com/ You! Yes you! And your little dog, too!

I'd like to say I hope it's better than last year but honestly - for me, anyways, it doesn't get much better than last year. I finally got pregnant, and got my baby boy. I am consistently amazed by him, by his strength and determination. The weekend before christmas, we had a family christmas party for my dads side of the family. And Ronan was, well, there is no other word for it, horrendous. It was a long drive there, a full two and a half hour drive, and by the time we got there, he was cranky, out of sorts, and just bloody irritated. We stayed for maybe...

He smiled at the sensation of rolling his tongue around the teat of his bottle. It's something he does very often still, toward the end of the feed, when he has taken enough, he will play with it in his mouth, rolling and flicking his tongue as he goes. Since then, the smiles have been few and far between in my opinion - they don't happen near as often as I would like, but then perhaps he is just destined to be a ~serious~ kid. *Of course,...

I was admitted at 3pm, and one of the Dr's came around to administer the gels. He did a brief ultrasound on the babe, made a comment about it being very high, and administered the gels. I was advised that it was unlikely there would be any action that night, and nothing would probably happen until they broke my waters next morning. They were right. M and basically just went a wandering around the hospital and watched a bit of TV until he had to go home at 10pm, and I tried to get some...

So yes - Ronan was born on the Friday the 14th of October, weighing in at a mere 5 pounds and 9 ounces - yes because according to the...

This will be my last post for a bit, so I'll keep it short, sweet and to the friggin point this time, which, granted, is not exactly something I am known for. Leaving home in a few hours to head into hospital and have first lot of induction gels applied. Will no longer be pregnant either today or tomorrow. Oddly, not freaked out, feeling kinda blase about the whole thing, and wondering if that is just denial. Not really caring if it is. Can't seem to wrap my head around any of it, and it's probably just as well. See you on the sunnyside. 39 weeks http://bitchywitch.blogdrive.com/comments?id=97 http://bitchywitch.blogdrive.com/archive/96.html Tue, 04 Oct 2005 04:21:49 GMT May I just say how good the nesting intinct is, and how very clean my house is because of it? Sparkling I tells you, absolutely spotless. I am very proud of myself. Given that I'm sure no one, least of all me, needs a total rundown of the entirety of the cleaning I have done, I'll just say nothing else of note has really gone on. Well, it has, but none of it is anything I really want to write about, or look back on with any sort of fondness at all. So I'm going to gloss over the endless drama, and suffice to say we now have a new switchboard in the house fusebox, the landlords were happy...

Major whine / bitch ahead. 1. To the low life scum who broke into my house while we were out all day, wrecking the doorknob and lock in the process and leaving me trapped at home for two days unable to leave because the door was not lockable until the locksmith came - Thanks so very much for stealing my digital camera. I worked in that crappy real estate agency for months so I could afford my little $350 digital camera. I know it isn't top of the line, but I had wanted one for so long, and I saved so hard, and I was so relieved to have a...

I am a gestational diabetic. I will find out what, precisely, to do about this on Monday when I have an appointment with a diabetic specialist and nutritionist. I am thinking thus far, there will be diet control and not much else - which is fine with me, as it was not unexpected. Quite frankly, I would of been shocked if I had scraped through without it. Meantime, I have endured two weeks of agony, which is ongoing. Hint for anyone who doesn't know me very well - I have a very high pain threshold. I can take pain that would make...

I have had the in laws here all weekend. And today is Monday. So, basically, it should be a crap, I'm exhuasted and cranky as all hell sorta post - but it isn't. Today is an awesome day, ecspecially for a Monday, but it would still be awesome if it were a Friday :) Last night, I finally cemented my solution to the M's - snoring - keeps - me - awake - and - I - get - no - sleep problem. The final trial run confirmed, I do sleep like a log if I go to bed much earlier than him. I have had a full and deep nights sleep (with only one measly pee break!). I have...

It was suppossed to be every second Saturday and Thursday afternoons, but ended up being more than that through filling in for other people. It was good, if not tiring, and somewhat irritating, but the spare cash was excellent. That all went balls up a couple of weeks ago, when I was *no longer needed*. There were fights all round between other staff, and the end result is now that the office is closing. * All the above given, plus other news, means my...
