35 weeks, 3 days i was actually feeling cute today, so i asked matt to take a picture. i figured we’d do the official pink shirt belly shot tomorrow. alas, hormones or maybe just seeing myself in a photo rather than in the mirror have me less happy with how i look than i was feeling. whatever. i am not one of those chicks who goes through er whole pregnancy without adding some padding. fuck those bitches who never have to know what chafing thighs feel like. they are missing out on the amazing amount of tits and ass i have also gained from this baby. nice job, she-creature. now just remember when you’re nursing, suck the fat out of my arms and thighs but leave the tits and ass alone. hey, i might as well ask, right?

I would add to futurejournalismproject’s comments in saying that not only is it a bad idea to juxtapose the headline with an image of a happy child, but seriously, nobody thought better of having that smiling holding an ice cream cone, ice cream smeared all over his face and “Boy, It’s Hot!” for the headline? Amazing. People are amazing. seldridge: Unbelievable. futurejournalismproject: Let’s agree to agree on something: When breaking news about priests abusing young boys, don’t juxtapose the story with a young boy looking happy about it.

small prefolds, some inserts/doublers and a shit ton of covers. they are 15 year old imse vimse covers and the first ones i ever used. passed on from one of my favorite families in the entire world. it is so crazy to me that i will be diapering my kiddo in cloth i put on the little girl (now high school freshman) i once babysat.

also, this doesn’t even include the probably 3 dozen or more other prefolds in medium and large we were given. i am the luckiest.

i still plan on making a bunch of my own and have some one-size fitteds and contours on the registry for easy sleep-deprived changing and just because. i also am on my 4th knitted cover and hope to sew some wrap style wool covers from old felted sweaters.

if you are pregnant and considering cloth diapering, prepare to become obsessed. i’m pretty sure there’s no way around it.

32 weeks, 3 days

sooner and sooner and sooner.

i think nettch knows it. she’s been super cuddly and super dickish at the same time. i’m sure things will get even more interesting this week as we start to ween her and yoko from bedroom access. ugh.

Murphy Baby: Los Nacimientos (Births)

thanks to murphybaby for the posting of this poem and to pablo neruda for the writing of it.

murphybaby:

If I’d known about this poem during poetry month, I’d have posted it then.

But I didn’t, and I think you need to know about it now.


Los Nacimientos (Births)

We will never remember dying.

We are so patient

about being,

noting down

the numbers, the days,

the years and the months,

…

30 weeks. and that was last week. how fucking crazy is that? everything suddenly seems like it’s going to happen so soon. i’m going to meet my baby. summer will start. my body will house only one being again. and that being very well may be very different than the one it housed before. but not completely different, right? i’m suddenly having very self-analyzing thoughts about who i’ll be and not be and what i’ll do and not do anymore. i want this more than anything, but it’s also scary. i don’t want to be a grown up yet. grown ups still make stuff other than humans and dinner, right? moms are people too? hopefully, i’ll at least be a milf.
