sugar and iron and snot oh my

so i woke up super early this morning and enjoyed a progressive breakfast of:

a drivethru meal of a egg/sausage biscuit and hashbrown and
another glass of orange juice, [...]

silver lining.

new ticker alert!  countdown to maternity leave. alleluia.
also, my schedule was finally changed after months of whining and begging.  previously, i worked an 11-8 shift, which is nice for the sleeping in, but miserable for the actual spending of time with h.  she is up at 5, out of the house by 6:30, and typically in [...]

photo friday: in motion.

…and the first thought that came into my head? “sometimes i doubt your commitment to sparkle motion!”
non-sequitur: here are my in motion photos.

update.

thank you so much to everyone for all the kindness and support.  sparky and i are doing just fine over here.  my high-energy, partytastic sister came to town this past weekend, and i had to (force myself to) set boundaries about what i could and could not do.  instead of hitting the saturday night town [...]

well holy shitballs.

this is an email i sent to my closest girlfriends, who take good care of my spirit:
last night, i was up all night with the typical hip ache and overactive brain.  and i started having contractions too.  sporadic, no closer than 15 mins apart. but definitely real.  this morning, i tried to call off for [...]

things and stuff.

so the second i began to write this post, i totally forgot what i wanted to write about.
huh.
well.
the sparkstress is moving higher and higher into her apartment. she is damn near my ribcage now. the kicks are a little less comfortable up there, and my belly is bumping my desk at work. [...]
