When that first swishswishswish was heard, Arnie started laughing. He tends to do that when he’s nervous or excited.
He looked at the doctor, as serious as could be and said “I’m sorry. I giggle.”
He’s going to be the best daddy in the entire fucking world and I cannot wait to see that.

Has anyone but me ever heard of this dish? My grandpa used to love it, he said it was something that he’d had in the Navy. He always called it Slum Gullion. I’ve looked it up online before but can’t find anything that’s exactly like this. It’s canned corned beef, chopped and cooked with stewed tomatoes, peas and served over rice. Sounds vile, I know..but it’s really, really…really delicious. Quite possibly one of my favorite foods in the world. Right up there with hummus dip, moussaka and macaroni and cheese.

Doctor’s appointment on Monday. We should be 12w4d then. I’m ready, ready, ready. Nervous as hell, though. I’ve been pretty positive lately but every once in awhile, I have this thought that Monday may be the last day that I think I’m pregnant. I’m working real hard to not think that way, though. Easier said than done, obviously.
I’ve actually bought a few things for the baby. I’m a big reader and I want to encourage that in any child that I have, so I’ve already started on my collection for that. So far we have Puff the Magic Dragon, Favorite Storybook Ever by Richard Scarry, The Dangerous Book for Boys, The Velveteen Rabbit, 1001 Pirate Things to Spot and The Giving Tree. The Velveteen Rabbit was always a favorite of mine and Richard Scarry was a childhood favorite, too. But The Giving Tree..that book holds a special place in my heart. My sisters and I would sit with my grandmother to read that and each picture is so familar and so comforting. I cannot wait to share that memory with my baby.
I also let my mother-in-law buy a package of onesies. She’s been so great, respecting my wishes about not getting too excited too early. I finally had to cave and let her buy something. I know it’s our baby first but this is her first grandchild and I’m not going to rob her of her Grandma experience. We kind of went and looked at cribs, too. Not to buy, I promise! Just to look. I saw one at an unpainted furniture store that I just fell in love with. Head over heels, will pawn everything I have to own this crib in love. Love, love, love. The only problem with it is that it’s quite a bit more than I was wanting to pay but you’d understand if you saw this crib. I bought a new camera, so whenever I’m in that part of town again, I’ll try to take a picture when the sales lady isn’t looking.
Speaking of new cameras, I love mine. The digital camera I had before was shite. This records video and has much better quality. I also bought a 4 gig flash card for it, so I should be able to take more pictures than my old camera could. It held a whopping 35 pictures at a time. Hopefully I’ll be able to record part of the doctor’s, so I’ll have a permanent record of the heartbeat. Is it Monday yet?
Seriously. How about now?
I’m going to go watch some recorded America’s Next Top Model. I know who wins but I haven’t seen this season yet and I looove me some Tyra.
