...while eating lunch. Table next to me had two teenage boys.
Boy 1: I’m going to try one more time, and if the call doesn’t go through it’s a sign.
Calling… No talking. It would seem the call didn’t go through.
Boy 2: And?
Boy 1: I dunno. Whatever.
Silence.
Boy 1: I’m so full dude! I don’t think I could eat another bite.
Boy 2: What happened last time you two talked?
Boy 1: She sent me this email, saying that Mike told her I think she hates me. So I wrote back and said, “Yeah, and?”
Boy 2: What did she say?
Boy 1: Dude you should have seen the reply. It took me ten minutes to read it! She was all, “Well, that’s just not true. You are actually one of the only people I don’t hate.”
Whenever Max is gone, the cats choose to have one of their ‘incidents’. In this case, I woke up Tuesday morning to find what I thought were water droplets all over the table. I then noticed Calle’s mouth dripping like a faucet. The most bizarre thing I’ve ever seen.
The vet came over, and discovered a small ulcer in his mouth, which is likely from something he bit down on too hard. A shot was given to stop the drooling, which will give his mouth a chance to ‘dry out’ and heal. I spent the day at home with him, and he was super clingy. Walking where I walked, sitting where I sat, laying with me on the couch while I read. Poor little guy. Of course my heart is in my mouth whenever something happens, because of how suddenly Grady got sick and died.
He is much better now, and seems to be in good spirits. Last night Ruth came over for a visit and I think it’s safe to say Calle fell in love with her. He never gets this close to people in such a short time. Even Melissa has to wait an hour or two before he walks over and sniffs her. Clearly Ruth is the cat-whisperer.
1. I think it’s worse to have nausea from morning till night when you never throw up. At least if I would have been able to puke, I would have felt better.
2. Even though the pee stick said it, the first ultrasound with movement made it real.
3. My current bra size frightens me, and the milk hasnt even arrived yet.
4. How can I pee, stand up, walk out the bathroom and need to pee again?!
5. I would have drunk gallons of ginger kombucha if I’d found out about it in the 1st trimester rather than the 2nd.
6. My growth spurts happen on the weekends.
7. After the first few months, I started experiencing a daily stuffy nose in the morning. I now have tissues next to my bed at all times.
8. Despite playing Wham, The Pixies, Jay-Z and Hercules and Love Affair – the baby kicks most when it hears Enya and Mozart on the belly speakers. Don’t judge that I have Enya.
9. Unfortunately, it’s true, total strangers give unsolicited advice.
10. Apparently not finding out the sex is only exciting to a limited few. Most of the world is highly annoyed.
My gorgeous new Barbapapas t-shirt that Max gave me. Coordinated hand over belly bump was purely coincidental.
