Pirates and Punks
Thank you for the birthday wishes for Isabelle! I’m feeling better now. Meg’s comment helped. And it was totally one sided, the feeling bad. Isabelle wasn’t sad or disappointed when she said any of those things. She was just matter of fact about it and I was the one piling on all the guilt.
So anyhoo, onto other things. I’m 9 days from our due date. I haven’t really felt like posting or sitting at the computer. I don’t know how frequently I’ll be posting in the next few weeks. I’m really uncomfortable. When I stand up from sitting at the computer chair my back hurts and I can feel the pressure of the baby down low.
I don’t remember being uncomfortable like this with Isabelle. This time around I’m actually smaller than when I was carrying Isabelle. But maybe it’s being 4cm dilated. Or maybe it’s because I’m 4 years older now. I don’t know. All I know is that I’m waiting very impatiently for this little guy to come. And so is Alan. Every single time I call him at work he’s like, “is it time?!”
So today I didn’t really have anything to say and I didn’t feel like sitting at the computer for a long time going through all the pictures I have waiting to share. So instead I’m showing two quick pictures. My little pirate.
I think she was sad because she didn’t want anyone touching her pirate gear. I was going to draw something to accompany this post but no, too much computer time.
And this.
Alan found it in our yard today. It wasn’t there on Sunday. It reminds Alan of some punk wanna be gangster jewelry. So now he’s thinking some little punks were in our backyard. And we know it wasn’t thrown because the necklace was in one part and the cross was in another part. Maybe some little punk was wandering through? It’s gotten Alan’s protect my family instincts up.
And it’s sort of freaking me out that who knows who for what reason was in our backyard. Are all our doors locked? Our windows?! Ok let me go check again for the second time tonight.
what is it with all these little punks, eh?
bullies in playgrounds, trespassers…argh!
i felt the same uncomfortableness with ella as you are with your little guy, especially during the last weeks – the pressure made me feel like i couldn’t walk and the backache is miserable – i feel for you! the only thing that helped was staying off my feet, but even that would get uncomfortable, too. hang tight, you are so close
{i wish i had more comforting words for you, but i remember it too well to know there isn’t much anyone can say to relieve those feelings!}
thinking of you, can’t wait to hear news!
Maybe 2 kids were playing with the necklace, one playing with the cross, the other with the chain. Then one kid said to the other kid, “Let’s see who can throw their piece farther.”
Or maybe a little kid of 5 was playing with it swinging the chain and cross in circles as Ebow would do but but cross swung off the chain and then the little boy said, “Oh what use is a chain without a cross?” So he then swung the chain into your yard along with its chain. Or maybe some lady was having an affair and her husband came home and the guy had to dart into your yard all the while dropping the chain and cross all scattered in different places cuz he was really running while trying to pull up his trousers? So he then swung the chain into your yard along with its chain.
I could go on and on. Want to hear more?
Wow! Thanks for the shout out!
Maybe some kid was getting bullied and they took his chain and threw it over to your yard and the kid was too affraid and or beat up to get it back?
I don’t know your family well, but I’m imagining Alan with a pitch fork, sleeping in a lawn chair, to protect you guys!
I don’t have twitter (yet) but I have to say congrats! He’s so precious!! <3
Congratulations on your new baby !
Whew, it feels like your pregnancy has flown by via blogland (I’m sure you feel differently
. Congrats. As for the jewelry, crows and other birds are really attracted to shiny things. So it could have been dropped in your yard by a bird. My parents have a big yard and we have found a sapphire ring, necklace, and a few other “shiny” things before and they belonged to no one who had been over. But, they do have a lot of crows. They just left you a gift
