Baby Update

I'm another week away from my next check-up and things have been going pretty well since my last one.  My baby (and belly) are growing rapidly now.  I feel like every day it gets harder and harder to reach my feet to put on my socks.  I get short of breath pretty easily now too and find that my meals are getting harder and harder to consume in one sitting.  Small frequent meals are a necessity. 

I love love love feeling my little ninja girl wriggling around in there though.  She kicks and stretches and nudges me off and on all day long.  I think about four days ago she turned so that she is facing my spine so I feel less of the arm and leg flailing, but I think that opened me up to feeling her random bouts of the hiccups. 

One thing I'm afraid will continue in March when she is born is the schedule she's becoming accustomed to because of my own work schedule.  She knows it's time for mama to get up between midnight and one in the morning and is usually kicking me to tell me to stop hitting the snooze button on the alarm clock between those hours.  Cute, for now. But later... not gonna be cute at all.

She also gets rowdy about a half hour after meals.  I guess they're giving her a nice little energy boost which get her moving for a while.  But I've found that if I get up and start moving around or drive somewhere she settles down and probably falls asleep in there. 

Ooh and she seems to LOVE Muse, which is good because I love them too. She really likes their new album, especially the title track with it's kickass Dubstep beats.  Dubstep really gets her going.  Crazy girl.

We still haven't decided on a name for her yet.  I have a feeling it's gonna be a while before we even narrow it down to a small list.  Right now we just call her baby girl, or nugget, or wiggle butt.

In the meantime, I'm working on a knitting project for her.  And trying to get motivated to finish painting her nursery and getting that in order.  And have been contemplating just how I am gonna be at the whole mothering thing.  :)

Kinda cute that she's diggin' your music and getting used to your sleep/wake schedule.

And I think you're going to be great at the whole mothering thing. You're going to have one cool, very funny kid!

Digital Camera Help...

I recently bought a Kodak EasyShare M863 camera at Circuit City. I am not thrilled with the quality of pictures and some of the camera's functions. Mind you, I've only taken about 50 pictures so far, but when I uploaded them to my laptop and viewed them on the screen, they just looked horrible. My old camera was a Sony Cybershot DSC-S600. It took GREAT pictures but it had a lot of mechanical issues. I'd sent it back to the factory three times and it could really be worked on agian, but alas, my warranty is kaputz. So I've snapped off my usual fare of en route, on the road pictures and all of them suck. I've tried about 5 of the major "settings" and it doesn't seem to matter what I do, but they all turn out grainy and "foggy" and just crummy. For the money I paid for this camera it should take better quality pictures. Of course, today I reviewed the new camera online via various sites and it seems that the "crummy picture syndrome...

Open Forum

I have been thinking about opening myself up for questions and inquiry on both a personal and professional level recently. Today I decided I'd go for it. I am opening the floor to you, my readers, to ask me anything. Now, please understand that I have the right to refuse to answer any question I do no feel will be productive or at least entertaining. I am hoping for some really interesting questions, so don't disappoint me! I also would appreciate keeping things G or at least PG, in case there are young impressionable's reading this blog. I am anxious to see what you want to know about me and my life on the road. As questions come in and I have time to answer them, I will post them as individual blogs. So stay tuned... this should get interesting!

Mmm...Jello

I just finished a sugar free Cherry Gel snack ( I can't call it Jell-O since it's officially a generic brand that I bought). It was yummy. Not nearly as yummy as the foods I spoiled myself with the last few days. Night one, sushi. It was damn good sushi shared with good company, whom I know let me off really cheap on my cost of the meal. It was fantastic and I was surprised at how well sushi went with light beer. Go figure. Night two, Mongolian. O M G I could eat Mongolian every freaking day for the rest of my life and never tire. It's the bestest. Primarily because you make it how you want it. If you've never been to a Mongolian BBQ restaurant then you're truly missing out. In a traditional Mongolian BBQ you approach a long bar that is filled with chilled or frozen meats, veggies, and other nummy-nums that you place into a bowl (or two). As much or as little as you like! Then you approach a second long bar that houses large containers of just about every ...
