Just a bunch of random stuff that I’ve mentioned or people have asked me about.<\/p>\n

1) The sonogram results: I have a cyst. Duh. How many times do I need to be diagnosed? I am going in for another one in October to see if it is growing or changing. The doctor doesn’t want to do surgery if it isn’t bothering me, but it is<\/i> bothering me quite a bit. I am trying to hold out for October when Elsa is six months old. She won’t take a bottle so I am concerned about needing to be in the hospital a few days and pumping and dumping.<\/p>\n

My sister is concerned that I’m having an abortion and thinks it is a terrible idea. She’s very pro-life and doesn’t understand that even though the cyst has body parts it isn’t a baby and doesn’t have a body. It doesn’t matter how long it grows, it will never develop a body. It doesn’t have a brain. It isn’t anything like a baby. She’s still concerned and thinks I’m a terrible person for even considering “getting rid of it.” <\/p>\n

I can’t imagine all the horrible people real women who get abortions have to deal with. I’m not even having an abortion and am getting this BS! Maddening. Truly maddening. I’m not even going to go into my views of abortion (pro-choice) or what’s wrong with this world because it will wind me up too much).<\/p>\n

2) I found a charger for the GameBoy at Overstock. I am hoping it gets here by Saturday (we leave in the evening). I’m sure it will. We already got one game. I specifically ordered it from a vendor in Maryland hoping that would help speed it up. The vendor turned out to be about five miles from our house so my evil plan worked.<\/p>\n

3) I love, love, love my new DIAPER BAG<\/a>. It’s beautiful. And functional. And perfect in every way. I didn’t understand the stroller strap option, but now that I understand I want to know why all bags don’t come with such a thing. Basically you hook these two loop things onto your stroller then you clip your bag on when you go somewhere and it hangs nicely. <\/p>\n

4) I am losing all my baby hair and it is beyond annoying. Yesterday I started crying when one of the hairs was white. Solid white. Noooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! When did that<\/i> happen? I thought I was going to be spared the monthly dye jobs that most of my friends have already started, but I guess not. <\/p>\n

5) We have a new store for big busted women at our mall, Bastien’s Foundations<\/a> and I love it! I hadn’t looked in it before because I’m nursing, but I noticed a sign that said they carry nursing bras. They don’t have a huge selection, but any selection at all is better than nothing. I was shocked when the gal took my measurements and said I was an I cup. That would explain why my boobs are falling out of my swimsuit. Honestly, I don’t think she was that accurate, but I was able to buy a bra that fit really well and felt fabulous. They even had some sexy bras, but not sexy nursing bras. I hope they are still in business when I’m done nursing. I looked at their website hoping to direct you to your local store, but they only have one brick and mortar location. If you are big busted you’ll have to come visit me and we’ll go bra shopping. They even have a nice little waiting area for your boyfriend\/husband\/kid.<\/p>\n

I filled out a survey thing to get coupons and was laughing at one of the questions. They wanted to know if I would be willing to mentor a big busted teen with self-esteem problems due to her big bust. I circled maybe. A store with a social conscience is nice. I’m not sure what to say to a big busted teenager other than telling them that foundation garments are key and scoop necks are not your friend.<\/p>\n

6) I smell sour milk. I fear it is me. <\/p>\n

7) I did my 31 Things for 31 Days list for my moms club newsletter (thanks Bethany!) and now am trying to do something off the list with Erik every day. It’s hard to be fun and educational every day. Everything seems like so much work, even the small things. Why can’t we just take a nap every day? Of course, my main problem is that I don’t want to go outside. It’s disgusting out there. The humidity is so thick you can see it. I can’t wait to get to Oregon. <\/p>\n

8.) I was going to have a “no spending money day” yesterday and failed miserably. We had a traveling salesman come to our door, which was the first sign that my goal was doomed to failure. I ended up buying a set of kid’s encyclopedias. I fondly remember my grandma’s set and am sure this set will see a lot of use over the years. <\/p>\n

Then I thought I would be smart and go to the consignment store and use my credit to buy Elsa a new baby play pad (the one we have is pretty lame). Turns out I didn’t have any credit and they had a really cool pedal powered go-kart that Erik had to have. We got it home and he totally freaked out and refused to use it. When I have time to work with him a little I’m sure he’ll love it and it will see a lot of use through the years. Plus, I got a much better play pad for Elsa so it wasn’t like it was totally frivulous stuff. I was going to get a play pad anyway so I suppose I did save a bit of money. <\/p>\n

I decided I couldn’t spend any more money so I sent Mike to the karate school to deal with the hard sell. It turns out to be a better deal than swimming lessons, so Mike signed Erik up for six months (starting in Sept) and we got a free birthday party out of the deal. I am so glad I don’t have to plan a party. I’ll still have to do a lot of the food\/favors\/invites planning, but I won’t have to build an obstacle course, dress like Indiana Jones, or run myself ragged entertaining 10 four year olds for a couple hours. Being the party runner is exhausting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
