A little about what has been happening in our world. The kitchen is 99% complete, the punch list of remining items includes a base cabinet, a skin for another base cabinet, a threashold to transition between the hardwood and vinyl, and the "crown" moulding. Plus I have to repaint the kitchen. Antique White looks more like 50 years of cigarette smoke and bacon grease white. Except I can't really paint right now. I also can't really lift heavy things, eat unpasturized cheese, eat lunch meat, go bungee jumping or go out and booze it up. Yup. There is a baby in there.
I mean, it is early. I am only 7 weeks and if I have learned anything from my nearest and dearest friends, anything can happen. We will *hopefully* be able to hear the heartbeat on December 11th.
I am definately starting to feel pregnant, from about 9 AM until noon or 1 PM I feel like barfing and curling up like a little pill bug. It is awful because I hold it back and I wonder if I just do it if I will feel better - but I can't bring myself to cut loose. If I even smell or think about something unpleasent, watch out. Teeth brushing is also dicey. I am not overly tired, and have so far been able to remain pretty calm amongst some pretty crappy crap going on at work.
Already this pregnancy is so different, so much calmer. Maybe it is because I know what I am in for. Or maybe it is that 100% of my time is taken up taking care of a 19 month old and I can't sit around and obsess about how I am feeling or stupid pregnancy magazines. Or maybe my life is already irreversibly changed with Junior and an addition of a brother or sister is not as big of an adjustment. I SAY THAT NOW. I am interested to see how I change as these next 9 months progress.
When you ask Junior if he wants a brother or a sister, he always answers "SISTER". He sometimes awnsers "BROTHER", but mostly it is "SISTER". His parents agree completely. A little girl could be a suprising change of pace from Wild Man Junior Coleman.

I will paint for you. Start looking for colors and we can plan a weekend.
Congratulations! Oh, I'm so excited for our little man to have a girl or boy friend to hang with... (probably a future ex-boyfriend, as Ed would say ;-)) I'm painting in a couple weekends, is that a bad idea? I'll open windows.
