Nicknames - In Utero

I thought it would be fun to share a list of the nicknames I've called my unborn baby girl so far:

Succubus - This one was especially prominent during my first trimester when she was sucking all of the energy and life force from my body. Starting to make a come back in the third trimester now that my energy is being zapped again.

Chickie Nugget - I chose this as a gender neutral nickname after my sister kept bugging me for a nickname after I found out I was pregnant but before we knew gender.  Apparently embryo's require nicknames. 

Nugget - A shortened version of the previous nickname, which after a while tended to make me crave McDonald's chicken nuggets.  And which in turn made me think of eating my baby.

Octopus - Because I swear sometimes it feels like instead of four limbs there are eight (or more) flailing about in my belly.

BeeGee - I say this one a lot, especially when talking to my baby as I do things around the house and such.  It's just short for baby girl, but it flows well when I don't wanna look like a complete loony talking to thin air, especially when I find myself talking to her out in public.

Spider Monkey - As she's gotten bigger and stronger her movements are like that of an mixed martial arts pro.  Since I'm not comfortable giving her an MMA nickname, I figured the closest allusion I could make was to the spider monkey with their long spindly limbs and prehensile tail. 

Kung Fu Kid - Kind of self explanatory.  Some of her kicks, nudges and punches are like that of a well trained Ninja.  I swear she's bruised me a time or two... and when she finds something she likes punching or kicking... watch out mama.  Yeowza!

I love the way your interacting with her, sounds like she will be a fast one. Better buy running shoes.

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 ...
