Short posts…

By On 29 Dec ’04

sorry for all the short posts lately. Some of those were typed pretty quickly right before we left for the cruise and time-stamped for publication while we were away.

I’ve updated the pregnancy journal concerning today’s appointment. It was kewl. We heard a heartbeat!

In other news, David purchased an X-Box today with [...]

12 Week Update

By On 29 Dec ’04

Okay, we survived the cruise.

David and I had our second doctors appointment today. Here are the three things I learned: my blood pressure: 112 over 67

my weight gain: negative 4 lbs

baby’s heart rate: 167 bpm

The blood pressure probably explains why I get faint and dizzy when I stand [...]

Being a Barnes

By On 19 Dec ’04

Today is our fifth wedding anniversary!

David, thank you for the most wonderful five years of my life. Actually, thank you for the most wonderful 8 and a half years of laughs and five years of being a Barnes. I have loved every smile we’ve shared, every hug, every inside joke, every snuggle. Yes, even [...]

Of rubber bands and maternity pants

By On 16 Dec ’04

Lately I’ve been feeling blah. That’s the only way to describe it. Blah. Not particularly horrible; not particularly unhorrible. Blah. My pants are no longer comfortable whilst sitting, though they technically still “fit,” so I have decided to rubber-band the top button or latch. Becky and I went to Old Navy in La Frontera Shopping [...]

Wishlist Bandwagon…

By On 13 Dec ’04

Okay, it’s my turn, and yes, I realize I’m a little late getting to this, but there’s a reason for that. I will also not pre-empt this post with the obligitory, “I’m not posting this out of selfishness…blah, blah, blah.” This post is completely selfish, and is comprised things I am “wishing” for, ya’ know, [...]

Our little Grape

By On 11 Dec ’04

We now have a fetus. Approx. the size of a grape according to my various pregnancy sources. Now how do you know what size a grape is exactly? Is it a seedless grape? I have been eating many grapes lately (they are about the only thing that taste good and that don’t require much chewing) [...]

Dr. Mac

By On 9 Dec ’04

So tonight is the monthly CapMac meeting… and Bob Levitus is here speaking to the group. He’s pretty funny. Here are some of the things he said that made us laugh!

There’s something vintage about os9. It’s herbal.

Garageband, to me, is the most fun you can have with your mac on.

Did you [...]

I just had to post this; it’s so sweet! And yes, it already feels like waiting waiting waiting!

Thanks, Becky, for cheering up my day! You’re the best!

Blood work

By On 7 Dec ’04

I got a message from the nurse today on the answering machine. Though the complete message was hard to hear, I gather that I did, indeed, have a full-blown urinary tract infection two weeks ago. I am immune to rubella, yay, and my blood type is O-positive. I didn’t think I had O-positive blood, but [...]
