I'd just like to take the time out to say that Cramer? Is the bestest!

My favorite thing happened today. The doorbell rang (I know..so exciting, right??)..and it was the UPS guy (who was like..being chased by a rabid dog and totally had us call the MPs to catch it. funny as all heck to watch from the window..lemme tell ya) with a package. HORRAY!!!! Nothing makes me happier than having packages delivered. Like..seriously. This is what my life's come to and I'm not even ashamed of it. I love presents.

Anyway, the UPS guy brought a big ol box. A baby shower in a box nonetheless. I seriously sat on my bed for a good 15-20 minutes pulling all of this stuff out. Calix was excited at each thing...little does he know..it's uhm..not for him. Haha. But she did remember little Calix and sent along a big fluffy lovey kind of puppy. My Cramer is the bestest!

That was the closest thing I've ever had to like.. a baby shower. A sista could have cried, I tells ya.


I have yet another doctor's appointment tomorrow. Another fetal fibronectin test..and I'm hoping that's all seeings as Orion will be doing SRP stuff all day and I'll be lugging the little guy around myself all day. Bringing him along isn't the hard part at all. It's getting him to sit still in his stroller while the doctor's doing tests..and we're discussing things that'll prove to be difficult. My kid's mighty active and well..just wants to play all the time.

I think he's also becoming more and more aware that another little person will be showing up soon and all of the attention won't be his anymore. He's noticed the new crib..and mommy folding all of these tiny shirts and setting up the nursery..and well, I think he can just tell something's going on. He knows there's a baby in mommy's belly. If you ask him where baby brother is, he'll pull up my shirt and pat my tummy.

This dividing my attention amongst two little people and making sure neither of them feel left out of anything seems to be so difficult. If O were going to be here for the first year, I can see it being a bit easier..but he won't be.

Blah blah blah. Being a mommy's weird.
