1. Have just successfully placed order from Target for Liz Lange unoffensive black maternity tankini. Thank god. Also got a black v-neck t-shirt. Seems sad that 2 cheap & temporary items comes to $50, but damn I need a bathing suit.
2. In other 'attempt to rejoin the human race' news I am expecting an old friend and her 2 kids for pizza tonight; her babies are Casper's age (2.5) and 10.5 months, and as she said, "I finally feel like I'm coming out from under." I said, "I feel like I'm going under." Of course, she works 3 12-hour night shifts a week as a labor and delivery nurse, so I'd feel like I was "under" if I were her even if I didn't have 2 babies. She is also bringing baby loot (she's had her last & got her tubes tied, so is sure she will never again need a baby bjorn!)
3. Must make To Do list for impending baby. Less than 3 months now, and lots to do. Have done, essentially, nothing yet.
4. Mother is coming to visit May 18! I really want someone to go shopping and play with. Maybe she'll even be roped into paying for things!
5. Have started bribery method of potty training with Casper. mr. flea is in charge and the possibility of en-dee-ems for pee-pees is VERY exciting to Casper. Since we started at 7pm yesterday we've had 100% success. This morning after a couple of unproductive minutes on the potty, I suggested that maybe she just didn't need to go and we should take a break, and Casper said, "NO! I want to go pee-pee and get en-dee-ems!" And indeed, a big morning pee-pee followed shortly.
6. Made my grandmother's hamburger zucchini last night for dinner. It's good and nostalgic. Casper slurps noodles and doesn't chew them, like me. mr. flea thinks we are aliens.
7. More lengthy and thoughtful posts that are fulminating: Casper and the belly; Casper and her mommy.
