"You're stupid."
"NO! I am not stupid. I am WILD and if you can't handle that then go back to bed."

"ugh, i don't feel like making love. i feel like making pannycakes."

tooth and tattoo
my tooth hurts. i went to the dentist in march? and i had an abscess and a fracture in the root? I don't remember, but the tooth needed to be pulled, bone graft done and then an implant. The dentist would do all the insurance prep first and then call to set up appointment.
I got a call back asking for my health insurance info - the dental insurance wanted to make sure they couldn't pawn off the expense to someone else. Gave that info and dentist lady said she'd give me a call when she knows something.
No call.
Other things have been going on so it slipped my mind. But my tooth started to hurt again. And I want it out. I'll call next week to see what's up. Since I am not pregnant they can knock my ass out to extract the tooth. They originally planned on local only.
**********
The mister HATES tattoos. He really does not like them. He's okay with boychik wearing nail polish but temporary tattoos usually illicit an eye twitch.
I'm thinking, cause I am such a supportive and caring wife, of coming back form San Francisco with a tattoo. Temporary but play it off like a real one. I wonder if a local shop will help me out with my marital subterfuge.
And it would have to be something meaningful to me to play it off. I think he would suspect if I came home with a unicorn making it with a dolphin.

one of those parents
A few nights ago the littles and I met with a friend and her two at Burger King. Said friend and I were going over our fundraising plans and let the kids go wild in the play area.
Lou went a little too wild and puked in the slide. When she says she threw up that could mean anything from "I had to spit" to "totally puking guts out". She had a little wetness on her foot, but still couldn't tell.
Asked boychik to check it out and he climbed to the top and slid down. Cool! No vomit otherwise he wouldn't have slid down, right? Wrong. There wasn't much and what was there he wiped up with his butt and back.
Friend wanted to leave. We hustled the kids out of there and left. Without telling anyone.
yep.

quick update
bah - i keep meaning to come and pot on this blog but i don't think about it until after i am in bed.
ireally want to use this as a journal and just spew out all my dysfunction. i think that will help a lot. in the mean time bach flower remedies rock!!
i passed the babe april 15 and after all was said and done i was 11 weeks along (or 10 weeks 6 days but 11 weeks is easier to say) and it was a boy. i'll have to dig up the link but there was genital shots of 11 week fetus on line and our, uh fetus? baby? how does one refer to one that young? definitely looked like boy.
i wanted to name him. the mister didn't really want to but was fine if i did. he gave very little input for the name but i did get an okay. he said it made him to sd to think about.
oliver is the first name. a name i've liked for a long time. i suggested the name when we were pregnant with boychik but dh said it would be better for a subsequent boy. fine with me.
then i started calling my cat oliver. this is the best cat evah in the whole entire world. her given name was tsume renshu but i called her renny. i started saying 'i love her' in a stupid lovey voice reserved for favorite animals or small babies. and the 'i love her' morphed into oliver. when i saw her i would just say oliver in a regular voice and mean 'i love her'. we had to put renny down when i was pregnant with little miss crazy p - (feb 27 06 if you wanted a date).
i figured this would be the perfect opportunity to name a child with a name that i love and has a special meaning to me. cause the mister is adamant about no olivers cause of the cat.
middle name i was stuck with. finally chose daniel. heard danny boy at the kids concert which made me think of the name. cheesy predictable? yeah, but who cares.
i FINALLY stopped bleeding a week and a half ago. it got really bad. then get a little better and back to really bad. sucked big time.

Happy Tax Day - it's done
I passed the baby/fetus/whatever you want to call it tonight. Last night I felt some really weird flutterkicking in the uterine area and some slight cramping. This morning I started spotting and went through about 7 or 8 pads. Cramping on and off most of the day.
Took a long bath around 6ish. Got out and was setting up a nice comfy spot in the bed with a laptop (yay we have one now! It belongs to dh for his business, but I play on it until he needs it). Right when I was getting to lay down I felt a pop and fluid started to come out. It was the water breaking. Very sweet smelling. I'm always amazed at the smell of birth fluids. It's sweet. You wouldn't think that though.
Went to the bathtub, stripped, passed the baby (it didn't look like a fetus. It's probably been 3 weeks since it died so it disintegrated? Body reabsorbed? It looked like greyish blob with a spine. translucent live a live shrimp) and then squatted over a bowl and passed the placenta (with what looks like a cord??) and loads of blood clots.
All in all from the pop to cleaning up it was a little over 2 hours. The worst of the cramps felt like bad period cramps but not in the league of labor cramps.
Jeff was outside with the kids for the beginning part and then they came in played and he realized what was going on and then did his best to keep them away.
It feels like after birth. Some crampiness and still some bleeding. Not sure about after miscarriage. Will this bleeding lead into a period or will there be bleeding for a couple of days and then nothing until the next period.
I do question why this happened. This was something we were avoiding and then it happened and then it didn't happen. I am one of those annoying people that want to know WHY. But there is no answer. bah.
