Due date announced!!!

we had NO idea how far along little bambino was. i was guessing 2 weeks, allegra was hoping for at least 4 weeks.

the ultrasound:
allegra and i arrive at the office. allegra is a nice shade of pale green, shuffling along with her vomit bags. the receptionist, whom allegra knows and likes, comments that allegra shouldn't wear that green hoodie while she is green. the receptionist (mitsy) tells allegra that she looks like a carnival!

allegra responds with, "uh huh, get me in and out as fast as you can"

the ultrasound person is super nice. the mash of cells that will become a sleep depriving vamp is too small for ultrasound one, so they pull out the more intense ultrasound. allegra is preparing for the two week verdict.

7 weeks!!!

march 5th is the prediction.

allegra was feeling better. we went for a nutrition consultation in a tiny windowless smelly office to discuss allegra's protein, calcium, and iron intake. this was a concern because allegra does not do milk or meat.

allegra's color went from a light tan to pale green immediately.

boom.

like turning on a light.

allegra knew more than the nutritionist...

allegra walks around the house with her security bucket. she drives around with her security bags. luckily, she has not needed them. she continues to be super tired, and recently has vertigo.

she said she now knows what is like to be kevin schofield and enjoy lounging on the couch flipping through channels. she is usually to ADD to do this, always needs to be doing something, and in true ADD style never really finishing anything.

scooping cat boxes is growing tiresome

get used to the cat boxes my friend-- I suspect they will be your responsibility for a LONG time coming.
A march baby is awesome timing for a school employee
