Thinkin’ Bout My Babies
Hello my darlings!
I say that to the all three of you who manage to drop by and read, lol. Can’t be hating on that as I am not exactly the frequent author I once was. I must rectify this.
We have one week, ONE WEEK, until the ultrasound of Captain Fetus. I am most on edge and excited to a vomit periodically degree. With Lola, I knew, just had that Mommy Knowledge, that she would in fact be a SHE. For the Cappy here, I got nothin’. I kept thinking it would kick in either way, but nope. Not even an inkling. I keep referring to the spawn as “He” or “Him” but I think it is only because everyone and their puppy has been insisting that Cap’s will no doubt be a boy.
Not gonna lie, I sort of have an itch for a girl. Like the idea of Lola having a little sister seems like the most wonderful thing in the world. So as far as my Lola ties go, I would say root for a girl. As for the other parts of me, I would be kind of sad to not have a boy. I like the idea of a little fella crazy-ing up our home.
So I am officially at a point where I will be equally thrilled, like screaming with joy to the heavens thrilled, and sad either way. Two girlies?? YAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But, whimper for lack of fella. Boy and Lola!? Look at the symmetrical little awesome family I have!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But boo for not giving Lola a sister close in age to frolic and be close to.
I just want to knooooooooooow. Seriously, it seems like it has been forever and I hate not knowing because I need to pick names and paint nurseries and buy pretty baby thingies!!!! But at the same time, I am like holy crap, how am I almost half way finished here!?!?!
Lola is going to be the bestest big sister this fetus could possibly have. I tear up even thinking about her teaching the baby things. Today she spoke in great detail of how she will teach him to jump rope, and how to use the potty.
As for her, I could just sit and listen to her talk for hours. She is so dramatic with her stories, but freakishly accurate. She never exaggerates, but speaks with such enthusiasm that Drew and I are shocked at how edge of our seats we sit when she reads us a story or tells us about her thoughts and opinions.
And soon there will be this whole new little person, with a completely different personality, that we all will meet. Just judging by Lola’s epic level of awesome, I am pretty freaking jazzed to meet the Captain when he becomes less fetus and more breathing, wiggling, thingie.
In the mean time, I am wrapped up in ridiculously domesticated activities like picking Lola’s swim classes for the summer. The idea of having to hide away while someone I don’t know has my kid in a pool terrifies me. I want to stay and watch, but Lola is the independent kind of gal who would want me gone. May have to invest in a big floppy hat disguise.
I also promised her that since school is out, we could pick an activity or two for the summer to be involved in, and she chose three. Ice skating (which she practices in the living room on roller skates… Jumps and everything. Freaks me out…), ballet, and karate. Since there is no rink anywhere near here, skating is out, so she is insistent on ballet and karate. I feel so odd choosing between them. Like, do I pick the girly thing and imprint that on her, or boycott it and go karate. Personally, I would vibe on the karate more, but she is just as girly as she is ninja so I can’t seem to find a way to split that up.
Lord knows we will probably end up with my big pregnant ass dragging all over town to swimming, karate, AND ballet lessons. Because I am a sucker.
I need to be off. I am just now shaking off the plague that has been kicking my ‘tocks left and right for the last week straight, and probably should get some sleep to keep it from coming back. My awesome husband even took a day and a half off work to take care of me. I am glad he did, I was way too close to a hospital stay, blah. Gonna have to buy him something pretty to thank him, methinks.
I hope you all are having a splendid week, and that the weather is treating you right!
Oh, and to all my peeps that have been screaming of sunburn pain for the last day or two…. Sunscreen people!!! Oh, and vinegar takes the burn right out. True story.
Until next time,
Peace, Love, and Domestication Cha-Cha-Cha!!!

Wow! Only one week! So excited for you :) I am totally guessing boy..lol. As for Lola..oh man tough choice! Ballet is so awesome, but so is karate. Mike Kincaid is thoroughly awesome too. Either way I’m sure she’ll love either one.
I am really thinking about him, but there are now three karate places in town so I don’t know! I emailed him today though so I hope he writes back!
I vote for ballet. Lola rocks the tutu. :D Our YMCA has both, is it an option for you guys? You can sign up for classes and not be a member.
Good to hear you are feeling slightly better. Take care of yourself!
Our YMCA doesn’t open until October, sigh, lol. Everything is in different places, but it would be swell if they were offered all during the day so I could take her in place of preschool, and then switch them down or stop one of them when school starts again.
She is just so equally girly and tomboy that I can’t see not letting her investigate both sides, lol.
I am thinking its a boy..just sayin :-)
i say flip a coin over the activities. she may find out that she doesnt feel right with whichever it is and you can give the other a shot or she can always pick the other one up later as her interests evolve.
Im saying boy as well and if it is a boy its just as easy to be all chummy with a brother as it is with a sister i promise. sometimes more so when you get older and you dont have to worry about two hormonal teens in the house whos periods are on the same schedule.. yikes
You can always “for fun” buy the gender test from Walgreens and then compare it to what you find out!! I had a friend who did that and it turned out right for her :)
We had Olivia in ballet classes it was fun, but when they are at this age they do not really focus on the actually ballet technique. I think Lola would really enjoy Karate! It’s a great way to get energy out and it instills discipline…being the purple belt that I am..LOL
I am really hesitating to say that I feel boy as well. I worry that I am feeling your vibes instead of mine. I tend to do that.
You should just let lola pick one. Bella as asked to do take swim lessons so we will be doing that. Karate is something she is interested in as well. she has a mean kick
