Friday the 13th

So yesterday was fun.  :)

I spent the day running around the school getting ready for the pep assembly today.   After a full day of checking in with students and staff around the building I headed over to the midwives for my weekly checkup.  On the way over I realized that I had been having contractions more often than usual.  I went in and had some fairly regular contractions while there.  I was checked and told that I could be fairly far along, or might be nowhere at all. Giving birth is not straight forward... I will tell you what!  Gaye told me that I should stay home tomorrow since running an assembly and then going into labor isn't really what you want to do.  I was supposed to take the day off and relax.

We went to dinner, watched "August Rush" and then headed to sleep.  I was up a few times with stomach issues but slept in and then took a walk around the neighborhood.  Showered, and now I'm sitting here thinking whether or not I should have gone to work.  Sigh.  I do have a massage still scheduled for this evening.... so I guess that we'll see what this weekend brings!

What's In a Name...

So in real life, things are still about the same.  Every day is a whirl of diapers, rocking, learning to do things with one hand, and every time I sit down or have a moment I can't seem to get myself to do anything actually productive.  It's just kind of a mess up in my head.  I also can't believe that it's been almost a month of this!  Anywho... before I forget, I wanted to write down our reasons for little lady Pritzker's name.  Jewish folks name their children after those who have departed this earth.  Here are the wonderful people who our little girl will never meet.  We'll do our best to teach her about them and more importantly instill their lessons and values. Lilah There are two "L"'s in this little girl's name and they stand for the parents of my father, Lev and Lyubov.  Lyubov was one incredible woman who really truly left me a legacy of cooking and warmth.  She was a woman who was never ever thin physically, but she was as ge

Just When You Thought You Could Breathe Easy...

This is pretty much an accurate description of last night from 2:45am until about 4:45am and then a good 3 hour chunk of today.  Everyone I told over the weekend "maybe we've turned the corner!" I take it back completely.  This picture will for sure be used as guilt material throughout the teenage years.  Sigh.

10 days In- Reflections, Realizations, Confessions.

Holy cow.  Parenthood.  It's here and it didn't just tiptoe in like a little kitten, it arrived with a roar and then settled into our living room and I think it might stay awhile.  I think we have a relatively easy child, but there are definitely some things that need to be written down immediately (or after 10 days, since time is something that doesn't really exist anymore). They say you should never have a child to fix a marriage.  Holy crap are they right.  If I didn't like my husband, this would be a very very different and unsuccessful adventure.  This is taxing.  Straight up hard work.  I've never been one for sleep deprivation, and this is pushing it to the max.  You don't always have time/ forget to eat (if I forget to eat this is a big deal people )  and you don't sleep much and you have people in and out... if you don't like your spouse, just forget about having children together.  Do yourselves both a favor.  I am blessed to have the man
