Just wanted to share our joy with the world! We are ecstatic!
Let me pose a question that I have always longed for a logical, and acceptable answer.
If a person has a biological black parent and a white parent, why is that person considered black?
This question/situation bothers the hell out of me. My brother fits this profile, and has always considered himself black and has always been desribed, and defined as black. But why? Is he not equally black and white? In fact his skin tone is a light brown - unless he's been basking in the sun. :) His daughter, my niece whose photos are on here, is only 1/4 black, but she is still considered black. Am I missing something here?
To be clear, it's not the issue between black and white, either way it makes no difference... I just want to know what the rationale is with always being determined black. That whole, a drop of black blood business?
Thoughts and ideas on the subject are welcome - anything inappropriate will be deleted.
I don't know if anyone has noticed it, down on the bottom right of my column is a cute little widget from babystrology. It shows the development of our little monkey and how many days we have left to go. Currently 201.
I often find myself staring at that floating little image, caught up in a day dream of what is to come. I'm caught between the "sunshine and roses" idea and the 'exhaustion and fear' one. Making a baby was easier than I thought, raising a child, well they say it takes a villiage for a reason I think.
A long time since a meme was needed. Stolen from Vissi D'Arte

These days I am :)
I feel like that volcano that is erupting in Hawaii... except I can't seem to spew. Just lots of noxious gases, terrible rumblings, and anguished contorting of my insides. Ah the joys of pregnancy! :)
We are 10 weeks and 2 days pregnant... and my pants are just about not fitting any longer... what a shame, I will need to shop! :) Thankfully this season, longer shirts are in... these will be useful as maternity tops.
The only cravings that I've had include regular foods, but they are almost always the first thing I think of when I am hungry, which is almost always suddenly. Ice cream (an old favourite), pizza (quick and easy), Whoppers (never eat them, must be the baby - I'm a McD's junky generally speaking), chocolate milk, and chips (I rarely ate them before, too salty).
I haven't stepped on the dreaded scale this week, but as of last week I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight (had put some 7lbs on - must have been bloating, cause it's gone).
I'm still kinda thankful that I'm not puking, but the constant nausea kind of gets to you too... where you just say the hell with it, let me puke already!
Heading to Maine with the girls in 10 days for baby shopping! Yippee!
