No Baby Yet

Still waiting. But time flies when you're having fun, and having my mom here is fun. We've organized my room (to accomodate the influx of baby stuff) and are moving on to other areas of the house. My mom is a pack-rat and I've inherited her genes so we both need help to get rid of stuff :D We've gone to the campus so I can walk and she can run-and discovered the Orclette ADORES "runnin!" She'll do a running man imitation everytime she wants to "I go runnin!"

We've also gone to the pool. My mom is a lifeguard, tri swim coach and I think sometime in her life she's taught classes so she's one of the safest people to introduce Orclette to the water. The Orclette thinks the pool is the GREATEST thing ever and cries when it's time to leave. I sit sedately by the pool and read/watch. I really don't like the water. Fortunately Damm does so when he gets back he and the Orclette will have great times splashing in the pool.

I've been practicing relaxation techniques. With my mom, since she's my coach. I do not want medication this time around. I think it was the most wonderful thing ever with the Orclette but she looked medicated the first 24 hours of her existence and wouldn't eat anything. I really don't want Brendan to have to go through that. So I am mentally preparing. I am proud of myself this time around: I've asked so many questions, made a birthing wish list, and have actually gotten pre-registered. I know how it's going to go at this hospital and I've pre-rehearsed the stages of labor and my responses to the nurses questions (the ones we could think of anyway). I am positive this will be a better experience than last time.

Oh-I didn't gain any weight this week. Hurrah! The scale kept on going up and up and up. It was time for it to stay the same :D

Damm has been battling allergies and also found out that he's got a hernia that will need to be operated on. Both of us would appreciate prayers for a safe surgery, fast recovery, and that he will not have to restart his training. Other than that he's doing fine and is excelling in class.

Posting will be sporadic most likely but I will ask that my mom post when the little one arrives. Hopefully that will be soon.

Guildless.

Me and Wulfa are now guildless. This came as kinda a shock and with no communication from the deciding party. I'm currently looking for a guild for us. We are not "raiders" and will never be. We do research our gear and fights and in general our classes. We are looking for a guild that we can be a part of, chat with, and not be expected to raid or be on specific times. I think that means we're looking for a "social" guild. We are primarily alliance but once finances get squared away(aka my bonus arrives) we could possibly convert to horde. If anyone knows of any guilds that they would recommend please let us know.

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...
