Surge

By on July 13, 2007 in The Blushing Bride, The Mommy

I had one of those (few, thus far) cool pregnancy moments last night.

The dress rehearsal ended in a timely fashion and I only beat Bryan home by about ten minutes.  We watched the news together (a joy we haven’t had in weeks.. seriously, it’s an event for us) and then went and lay down for bed.

As the websites have urged, Bryan’s been talking to my stomach a lot lately.  It was weird at first: when you’ve spent your entire life keeping anything with testicles from even noticing that you have a stomach, it’s odd to welcome attention that general area.  But now I’m used to it.  Bryan did it the other night and it didn’t even wake me up.

(Which, can I say, totally made me mushy?  He talked to the baby while I was asleep?  How cute IS that?  It’s like vomiting cute, isn’t it?)

Anyway, so last night, he assumed his position with his head on my belly.  And he began his usual talk to the baby: “Hello there, baby.  Will you come out already?  I’m ready to play with you.  GET IN MY BELLY.”

And the baby kicked.  It was one of the firmer kicks, the ones that you can’t even rationalize off as gas, and it took my breath away.  Lil Peep is still too small for the kick to be felt outside of my innards, but the more Bryan talked, the more Peep kicked.  It was precious.

I can’t articulate what I felt just then, but all I could do was put my hands on Bryan’s head and thank God that I had been so blessed.

Friday the 13th

By on July 13, 2007 in The Unexplainable

So Bryan tagged me for a meme, but it’s a really hard meme, and to be honest, I’m going to ignore it for awhile.  I mean, sure.. it’s easy to pull out your top 10 when you’ve been writing for a few months.  But I had my LAST site for almost two years.. before I started THIS one.  Can you imagine going through three years’ worth of posts?  It would take me eons.

We wrapped our assessment today with a glowing outbrief.  Although that was what we wanted, it still was a thankless task. (They usually are, to be honest.) I am very excited to have a four day weekend next weekend.  I just have to get through four more days of work.

I got my umbrella stuck in my hair this morning.  Sadly, I can’t say this is the first time I’ve done it.

I watched the dress rehearsal of TH’s Nunsense last night.  It’s a cute little show.  I think the older audiences will like it (it’s a fairly dated script.. so my parents would enjoy it), and the talent is there.  And have I mentioned how hott the TD is?  Pretty damn hot.

Also had good news on another theatrical front, news I was just thinking about the other day.  THRILLED and ECSTATIC are two words to apply to it.

It’s a mucky Friday.  Appropriate for the 13th.
