I’m having trouble tonight. It’s about 10:30 pm and I can’t sleep. I’m too exhausted. I’m in a stranger’s home, the third airbnb since I’ve been in Boulder. It’s Sunday night so I haven’t figured out where the nearest cafes and grocery stores are for the week. I tried to go to Walgreen’s for one…

So, obs as I am a barely even five weeks pregnant, we are not announcing it to anyone. At eight weeks I’ll have an ultrasound. If they see a good heartbeat (over 140 bpm), there is less than a 10% chance of miscarriage. That seems like a good time to start telling immediate family. Not…

As I mentioned I went to Bob’s wedding this weekend. Bob is a big drinker. The whole family knows how to party, and there will most definitely be an open bar. On top of that, I will be on the “party bus”. That’s the decked out limo the bride, groom, bridal party, and plus-ones ride…

A lot about The World is making a whoooole lot more sense to me now that I’m pregnant. I’m talking about sexism. As a kid, I loved sports and was good at math. “Girls are slow! No one wants a girl on their team! Girls play with dolls! Girls wear dresses! Girls suck at math!”…

My hormones are hard at work finding more things to cry about: – It’s really hard to eat – I HAVE A BABY INSIDE ME 😀 – My mom gave part of her body so I could have a body. SHE GAVE ME THE GIFT OF LIFE – Richard’s gonna be a dad! – I’m…

Ok so there’s something we need to talk about. I am experiencing a major personality change. OVERNIGHT. Literally. On Saturday (w3d4) I had a very faint positive test. Felt pretty normal all day, maybe a little tired (which I attributed to all my recent flying). Late Saturday night/early Sunday morning was when Richard came into…

BOOZE! ALCOHOL! Beerbeerbeerbeerbeerbeerbeer. So drunk I could count the number of drinks. Alcohol everywhere, alcohol floating lightly on the air, alcohol a sudden cloud in the whole motorhome. Don’t want alcohol, don’t like drinking, too much alcohol! Everyone is drunk, I’m not drunk, everyone else is drunk. BOOZE. Buried beneath: smoky, hidden, sinister, sly. Rich…

Here is a list of my current favorite hobbies: – Thinking about sappy things – Crying – Cuddling warm, soft things – Calling to let people know I love them then not having anything else to say – Smelling delicious food – Eating food, but never too much at once KK 08jul18

Hormones are real. Here’s what I cried about today: – Felt nauseous – Something really important – Being tired is hard – Don’t remember – Song was really beautiful – My dad gave me my bag after I almost forgot it – Lady in the car next to me had a kid in the backseat…
