What else would I be talking about?
Sep. 17th, 2005 11:20 pmReally there are a couple of other things to talk about. One of Grant's pictures won a ribbon and a $100 cash prize, for one thing :D He was really happy about it, and I was super proud. Ananda's also been making some really incredible art that I'm very eager to get posted - there are a couple of her things sitting in the office next to the scanner right now.
I took the kids out for the afternoon to distract myself (Grant ended up getting a ride to his places with Shaun). We drove up to Pinecrest and had lunch and light shopping at Wild Oats. This evening Grant was eager to go to a movie but not wanting to leave me and could tell I was losing my mind, still, a little, and so we ended up trading off - I went out with my sister to talk and hang out at Starbucks for a couple of hours, and then he went with Shaun to the movies. He got Isaac in bed and played with A and A on a couple of air mattresses while I was out. It was nice, too. Since I've been back I did a big space puzzle on the floor with A and A and got them a huge plate of fruit.
It's funny to see how people flip out about a gigantically pregnant woman with 3 small kids, maneuvering high chairs and carts and stuff and sitting down for lunch, with no other adult. I actually had people coming over telling me how good they all are and saying I was amazing. And of course asking when I'm due and if it's twins and if I'm SURE it isn't twins and if I'm sure about the dates and if I was this big with the others and and and and so forth.
Since being about to leave Starbucks with Laura, I've been having contractions again. 3 so far, about 15 minutes apart, long and strong. And I keep running to the bathroom again. Maybe it's just nighttime.
( I don't normally post song lyrics, but this verse has been resonating with me a lot for the past few days )
