Ella you are cute.  You’ve started smiling, which is the win we all need.  You still gremlin noise like all night.  So, during my 8pm to 3am shift you are just constantly grunting.  Sometimes you let me put you down and I finally get some quiet time but let’s be honest you like the concept…

So today, Teddy, you and I were having a very pleasant lunch, and by pleasant I mean you were yelling and throwing your food on the ground… I was calmly drinking a coke to have the caffeine powers to continue functioning as a sleep deprived adult.  When lunch was over and scooped you up and…

You’re here! We did it! Well, your mom did it… and you kind of suffered through it… but I definitely helped by um… emotional support?  No, that was the doula.  Well, I certainly earned a participation trophy by being in the same room as everyone.  In all seriousness, I am so happy I finally got…

Well your mom’s body start trying to evict you on black Friday, but her body also failed to unlock the door.  Well it was cracked but only about 1cm, which is not enough centimeters.  There were multiple hospital visitors, multiple measures of the crack in the door, one 12 year doctor took your mom’s pee…

Well, it took far longer than it should have but I did it! I have officially been promoted to L64 or the exact same title, or Sr. Sr. Dev, or Sr SWE II.  The variations are endless.  Not principal.  This is the last promotion you really need to get at Microsoft.  From this point forward…

Spanish Inquisition you’re fine.  Everything is fine.  Your due date was wrong.  The attending doctor was annoyed that our actual doctor didn’t fix the due date at the beginning of your mom’s pregancy.  So there ya go, two weeks of stress for nothing.  Well… nothing being a perfectly healthy baby 🙂

So todays the follow up measurement for you Spanish Inquisition.  I’ve spent the last two weeks convincing myself your due date was wrong.  Pouring over dates, convincing myself your day of conception doesn’t line up with your current due date.  I’ve also developed a great conspiracy that the hospital is being an anxiety level of…

Ok Spanish Inquisition this is a tough talk, but you are measuring very small.  As of 20w2d you are measuring 18w5d.  We went in for an ultrasound last Monday, and they said you were in the two percentile which is very scary.  Like super scary.  Enough that we have to go in for more measuring…

So I was reading an interesting article online about a persons spending habits.  They went in to a lot of particular detail about monthly budget, income, debt, etc which I don’t feel a particular need to share forever.  Though one thing I did like was the daily spending diary.  So I thought what the heck…
