Sunday Blab

Update: My wonderful hubby is taking us to Amelia Island. Renting an RV was ridiculous (rental, mileage and gas). So, thank you all for your great ideas. The Keys were a thought, but we have a friend with a timeshare that we can use once-a-year. Bahia is awesome, we have spent the day there. AI had a phenominal deal... pay for one night, get one night free. Couldn't have gotten luckier at the Plantation, and it's oceanfront. Yippee!

Our football team is sucking lemons.

Oh, KJ... have you checked out theknot.com? Best place for checklists.

Cpt J has Turkey Day off. Shit.

The roo is eating peaches and pears and I swear I see a tooth trying to come in. If he would only sleep through the night!

Cpt J's wife ate a package of shortbread cookies yesterday

Thanks Kotex

My hair is falling out... in clumps. I am pretty disappointed about this as my hair has always kinda been "my thing." I have continued taking my prenatals, but... whatever. Hopefully this ends soon.


I have decided to join Cpt J on the no carb diet. I am proud to say that I only gained 13 pounds with roo and am back to my pre-pregnancy weight. I am not proud to announce that this is about 25 pounds more than I should be. I was so good with the whole gestational diabetes deal, I should be able to maintain. And no, I have not gone back to check and see if the diabetes are truly gone.


I feel like I have been having a period for like 6 months. MAXI PADS after birth, MAXI PADS after tubal, now MAXI PADS for my cycle as I cannot use tampons for 3 more weeks. Bollocks. By the way, the first time I used a tampon after having the baby - the jumbo, superduper absorbancy - was falling out. Hopefully this "area" shrinks back up.


Roo is holding his head up! Not for long periods of time, but long enough to almost flip himself out of my arms. Booger. We put him in his "sassy jumper" to see how he liked it. Besides just sort of hanging there, he seemed to enjoy it (or this is his terrified look)!


Cpt J's wife... 24.5 pounds to go

Camping

Paranormal movie sucked.

Does anyone own a camper? Ever rented one? I hate tent camping. I need to have my creature comforts, so typically I am a 4-5 star hotel stayer. Now that I am unemployed and lost my hotel bennies, we are considering renting an RV and cruisin' for a week. We will obviously be taking the Roo and the beast and want to go somewhere we have never been. Florida Panhandle maybe?

Sorry for being such a priss, but I refuse to sleep on dirt, rocks or uneven ground. When it rains you can't touch the side of the tent, there is no heat or air, and you have to crawl out and hike sometimes a mile to pee. Shower with flip flops on? Yuck.

So, this is a huge occasion for me. I want to do it with as little complaining as possible and this seems like the way to go. I want the Roo to experience as much as possible, even though he will be too young to remember, at least there will be photos of our ONE camping adventure.

Cpt. J's wife really wants your thoughts and suggestions

I Have To Actually Apply

So how is that that daft-dufus got a job that suited me perfectly? I mean, hello.. I trained her for God sake when she was my assistant. Did I do too good of a job? Who is she blowing? It has to be someone, because there had to be a zillion people apply for the job. Ok, so in all fairness - I didn't actually apply for the position. I didn't even know about it. I guess my networking skills need fine tuning. Guess I answered my own question, it just doesn't make it any easier to swallow (get it?).

Cpt J and I are going to check out http://paranormalmovie.com on Friday night date night. I am sure that I will never sleep again. I am one of those goobers that thought the Blair Witch Project was true. If you have seen it, let me know.

J has a line again next month as well as ground school. The big "Thanksgiving argument" will arise soon. His mom thinks we need to be at EVERY occasion now that roo is in the world. Uh, yep, no.

Cpt J's wife looking forward to the cooler weather coming

Where's The Fall?

My little rooster is 12.2 pounds and 23" long. He has double in weight since he came in to the world, it's amazing.

Nothing much going on, just waiting for the COOLER weather to arrive in Central Florida. There was a heat index of over 100 the past week. It has kept me from putting out any Halloweenie decorations. I promised that once I had a child I would make an attempt to partake in various holidays. Halloween so far has been a failure. What's the point to have the crap out for just like a week? At least we got the little man's photos taken... that was a whole other adventure.

Cpt J's wife doesn't have time for selfish people

Still Coo Coo

Having a baby must have really sucked the life out of my brain because for some STUPID reason I decided to try coming off of Lexapro. Well, let me tell you my friends, even at the smallest dosage it was like coming off of heroin (I imagine). I noticed it the first day. I got a severe headache, super dizzy, and by day two I was ready to choke the lady at the grocery store. Oddly enough, little Roo didn't phase me with his set of cranky pants that he decided to put on yesterday. I blame this on the three days of Nana time while I was "instructed" not to left anything heavy. That woman has SPOILED my baby.

If Cpt J says one more time, "honey, I think you are still suffering from some postpartum," I am going to show him who has postpartum. I always imagine postpartum as wanting to drown your child, isolating yourself from you child, etc.... Apparently, my PP is never brushing my golden locks, occasionally brushing my teeth, wearing deoderant when I remember and eating something off a plate with a knife and fork. Not to minimize PP, it really is a severe illness for some... I just think J has found a word he likes to say (insert a grown man going lalalalalala, you have PP, lalalalala). Hopefully he will lose that one from his vocabulary like he lost the word "dude."

Cpt J's wife needs a girls night out

It's Done

Tubal ligation hurts worse than labor and delivery.

I opted for the old fashioned, knock me out, cut a hole in my stomach and clip-clamp, it's done. I wasn't terribly keen on the essure option, it takes to long to work and just made me nervous.

Therefore....

Cpt J's wife is in PAIN
