Monkey
I know this site has been really dead lately, but there hasn’t been much going on in our lives that’s Internet-worthy. No real adventures other than the little trip we took back to Hot Springs for our anniversary, back to the same bed & breakfast that we went to on our honeymoon. We didn’t get to stay in the same room, but we actually upgraded to the suite. It was really nice, again, and we definitely want to go back someday. We didn’t get to do the hot baths this time, and I know I missed them. But there’s always a next time.
I’ve started having my sinus migraines again. They’re not as blindingly bad this time, but that’s not saying much. They still put me on the couch/in the bed for a good four hours, alternating between sleep and moaning. Sinus headache medicine, gallons of water, and a constantly-running humidifer seem to do little once one of them sets in. I make it through, though, so that’s all that matters.
Alright, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. I know you’re wondering just what the heck that title means. Well, Elaine and I have a big announcement, for those who haven’t heard yet. In May April, she and I will take yet another step in our life together. We’re going to be parents.
We won’t know the sex or name of the child until it’s born, so we’re calling it Monkey for now. ‘Bruce Lee’ may have been a better name from the kickings that Elaine’s bladder has been receiving, though.
In fact, today is our first real meeting with the midwife (we met for a consultation before). We’re both excited, of course. We know that our lives are going to change and never go back to how they are now (or were before we found out), but we’re OK with that. I don’t know that I feel ready to be a parent yet, but I’m not scared of it, either.
