Sharing some humor, a bit of writing and way too much information

Yes Sir, That’s My Baby

Etcetera

Booger turns two today.

 

And speaking of unmedicated births and things in my stomach, I remember it like yesterday…

 

Duck Belly

 

And they called her Duck Beak Belly.

 

I didn’t plan to have Booger on the 10th, although that was her official due date. But my doctor lured me into his office, knowing that from there, he could get me to the hospital, which was next door. I’m still pissed. I’d have liked to wait until my cervix opened on its own like a gentle flower, instead of being pruned by Pitocin.

 

I have a few images from laboring still fixed in my mind: a sprig of blood on my sock, Deal or No Deal blaring from the TV, and almost birthing Booger on the toilet.

 

Why do I do that?

It really was a beautiful thing.

 

Tenderness

 

My garden gnome, home from the hospital.

 

Belly Laugh

 

We could leave her here for hours. Something about the changing table cracked her up. And, it was cheaper than a babysitter.

 

Reaching for the Cars

 

She loves pink, so I go with it, despite my predilection to dress my kids in neutrals. (Because I’m an edgy, urban mom.)

 

Water Baby

 

She loves water.

 

Fountaineers

 

Is even a member of our local “Fountaineers” club.

 

Purple Haze

 

She’s a girly girl. Digs flowers.

 

Flower Inspector #9

 

Second Position

 

She’ll shill for pretzels.

 

In the Bag

 

And is an all-around sweet, precious jewel.

Happy birthday Booger (and booger)! Mama loves you.

    She’s adorable.

    I’m freaking out over the fact that she was born when Deal or No Deal was on–with my oldest I was watching a taped episode of the 1st (yes, first) season of E.R.!

    Beautiful baby girl! Happy Birthday!

    Great looking pregnant mom. You should have 10 more kids to make up for people like me who look like Jaba the Hut when we’re pregnant. The world deserves better!

    Well that’s just precious on a spoon. If she likes older men, I can hook her up:

    This is all very moving, sweet photos of the kids and everything like that . . . but . . . I call foul!!!

    HOW COME YOU DON’T HAVE THREE CHINS IN YOUR PREGNANCY PHOTO? I HAD FOUR!!! YOU SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE THREE OR TWO.

    Gawd woman, you were beautiful pregnant.

    Now, back to our regularly scheduled comment: Happy Birthday Booger!
