I need to buy a nursing bra sooner rather than later. Apparently, I need it while in the hospital and since I have no way of knowing when that day will take place or how long it will take for me to find a bra that fits, I should probably start researching this sooner rather than later. That’s where you come in, Internet. Anyone out there ever buy a nursing bra? Anyone know of any decent brands, places to purchase, or pointers regarding sizes, styles, or brands? I’m now a 36 D. (Yes, they grew when I got pregnant. And the circumference of my chest grew as well because a pregnant woman’s ribcage shifts to make room for what’s to come. Insane? You bet.) Any or all information welcome.

My pregnant body was boding pretty well up until this week. But now I’m 35-weeks pregnant and my body is failing miserably. I can no long walk without losing my breath and the heat is excruciating. I don’t mean to sound dramatic, but things are much more difficult than they were last week. And this post is probably going to sound both whiny and graphic.

A couple of days ago Tobyjoe cooked up our last batch of Copper River salmon for the year. I love the stuff. It’s some of the best fish I’ve ever had and it’s probably the best salmon there is. Given it’s only available for about three to five weeks out of the year, it’s become a special treat for the both of us. We look forward to it each and every year. I guess one might say that Copper River salmon time is a bit of a holiday in our household.

There was a period of time when I was a young ‘n where my family and my Aunt’s family (on my father’s side) visited the water themed amusement park known as Action Park. (In 1998, under new ownership, the name changed to Mountain Park.) Not only was Action Park notorious for its concentration of rednecks, it was also known for its dangerous water slides.

Murray is getting bigger by the minute. I’ve never seen something so small get so big in such a short amount of time. (She writes this 6 weeks before the baby is born.) And the older he gets, the more helpful he tries to be as well. For example, he has a fascination with water. Whenever I clean out the kitchen sink, he hops up on our washer to watch. (Video: 676 KB) Sometimes he tries to kill the water and that makes me crack up.

I have been trying to capture this for weeks now and I still haven’t had much luck. I thought that my son would eventually get a kick (hehe) out of how much he abused me while in the womb. This kid moves like you wouldn’t believe.

I like to bake. I am not great at it, but I’m learning. There was a even time I almost went to pastry school. I took a tour of ICE almost a year ago and fell in love. I was absolutely sure that’s what I wanted to do. Wachovia offered me a student loan. Then I realized I’d be putting my family 30 thousand dollars into debt so I backed away from the idea. I realized a few days ago, had I actually gone through with it, I’d be graduating from culinary school right about now.

I started to feel sick on Thursday. And then sometime right around 2 AM on Friday I was hit with a brutal chest cold. I slept for a total of four disjointed hours. When I finally gave up on sleep, I could barely talk and my throat hurt. The worst part wasn’t even the cold, however. The worst part was The Reflux. Every time I coughed, I ended up throwing up. Who knew that one’s own mucous could actually further irritate acid reflux? They don’t mention MUCOUS on the list of foods to avoid if prone to acid reflux but they really should. I have been shocked before by the amount of mucous my body creates when I have a cold, couple that with the pregnancy hormones, and I’ve broken a world’s record for sure.

Tobyjoe and I have this game we play (well, I have this game I play) where I ask him “How much to eat that?” Or, “How much to have sex with that person?” And he rolls his eyes and gives me some obscenely high dollar amount. (Although, now that we’re trying to save up for a house, he’s a little cheaper.) The other day I asked him, “How much to eat the placenta after I give birth?” And he didn’t answer me, just pretended I hadn’t said anything at all. That’s when I knew I’d asked something so repulsive it was beyond any dollar amount.
