Catching yourself


The babies are good and M's cervix looks good. "Behavior modification" isn't quite necessary - yet. The woman hasn't had caffeine, or wine in a over a year, so that is alot of modification in my book.

We tried to grab a cab after the appointment. No luck there. We took the extremely slow moving bus down 5th Avenue. It inched down 5th Avenue- for like an hour. Finally, I jumped off the bus to buy a Christmas present. M was happy to see me actually get off the bus and go shopping. I went to Saks to purchase the book "Snow People" for the babies. As the cashier was ringing my purchase, M called me from the bus to tell me to purchase "Snow People" for the babies. Some surprise.

As I was walking home, I started thinking about the non-bio mom issue. I feel like I should have some epiphany. I don't. I do know that when I saw the Rock Center Christmas tree I almost cried. It's strange to catch yourself feeling happy.

I tried to find Snow People at B&N, but apparently it is a Saks exclusive! "Frigid fashionistas..." ... am I really going to have to explain that to the girls?!

I love that line, catching yourself being happy. It is so true. It is truly serendipitous, that feeling.

And yay for the good cervix! My various doctors said that so many things can make a cervix appear to be shorter, and that there was a margin of error in measurement. Full bladder too could make a difference.

As long as she isn't working in a job that makes her stand all day. And if I remember correctly, she works in management at a giant restructuring downsizing company. Sounds like my gf, whose bank is going through yet another round of layoffs. I wonder if they are at the same place!
