Journey to the Edge of a Rhinestone Reality

6 months pregnant and all is generally well. We're both fine and baby is very wiggly! We're due Nov 29.

I'm exhausted all the time, but that's pretty normal, I understand, so I'm spending a lot of time asleep. This one is going to be a sciatic baby, we're discovering. I'm only a little bitter about i when I am limping around, or sitting and feeling like I have needles being driven into my feet. I still have morning sickness, which is a total downer.  The worst thing is brushing my teeth every morning! i've also found that not eating at 8, 10:30, 12ish, 3, 6 and sometimes 9 or 10. If I'm late... oh, bad things happen, from morning sickness to dizziness. I get chronic headaches, which dr is sympathetic about but just shakes a tylenol bottle. I hear it's normal.

Our little health challenge this month is that the placenta is a little too low. Next month's appointment will show if it's moved up where it should be. i'm still getting sonograms every month, which is comforting for me, but isn't normal. They're keeping a close eye on me. Below is the funniest sonogram picture I've ever seen. It's from last month.  Baby is going to be a gymnast or a podiatrist as he's investigating his toes here.




Baby is a BOY! We went through a name crisis, agreeing on one name that I nixed three days later. Of course, Daddy REALLY loved it. Name trauma ensued until we finally settled on one we both really like - Cooper Danewolf Stone Smith. We're really counting on people not knowing what cooper smiths are anymore *grins*.

Emotionally, I'm pretty fragile and tend to "overreact" to emotional situations. In love, it's delightful... in tears.. ugh. I *know i'm being a hormonal bitch, but just can't stop it.

I really need to get on my sationary bike, but the motivation SO isn't there. It would really help with feeling better now and later, but eh.

Dane's still not working, which in Oregon is nothing of note. The girl is entering 7th grade and very blase' about it. We're moving her bedroom from her current place to our current office which will turn 12 year old girl purple. Dane's desk is moving to the laundry room, which will become the Domestic Man Cave.
