UES mommy's group

This sucker caved and joined a mommy's group. She is going onto the pathetic path becoming one of those ladies. Good that they don't know about my blog and they don't read about how I bashing them hard.

A couple good things about this group is that they are open-minded - they talk about all kinds of subjects: alternative medicine, sharing nannies, fun activities and all. There is a monthly mommy's night out which I am kindda looking for next month and see what exactly those ladies look like in person. They also give a log of hand-me-downs and I am hoping to pick up a good deal or two.

My progress has been .... zero. Nursery is not set up and stroller and car seat are not bought. Even though blueberry should arrive in 10 weeks....I think what happens to TB and I is that we know there is an urgency, but somehow we subconsciously resist to face the reality that it is happening. It is like we are in a denial mode. WE KNOW WHAT NEED TO GET DONE, but we just can't bring ourselves to do it. It's always next week(end)

Our procrastination does not give our first kid a good example. But, oh wells! Do we already sound like bad parents? Hm. Nah, we are just parents with a very alternative style. I'd like to think that my kid is different in that way.

Week 30

It feels like fall in the air. Well, it is fall after all- the best time of New York City. The change in the weather is somehow romantic ...

It is also football season - NCAA and NFL. This is what's happening at home at lease. Blueberry has been "listening" to a lot of Michigan fight song that he could respond to it when he hears it. He also likes the before-bed NFL session which can be soothing, although we limit TV time to the minimal. But I did say before, football season would totally ruin the TV time.

Work has been busy all the time until now. Blueberry has been there to help me throughout the year and he has been great. I fell one time though - it was not pretty but blueberry was able to hang in there.

Now, I am finally in week 30, still (trying to be) active, but I feel tired more easily, just like what the book says. Once I am tired, I guess my immune system gets weak, and that's when I get sick easily. Unfortunately I don't want to take any medicine and hope that my body can fight it all off, which usually result in a forever long recovery.

Belly is still growing - I am not sure how big it's going to get. I have been having trouble getting out of bed. But I hope I won't lose my balance once the belly grows to the point when I can't handle.

Blueberry still has no name. We might really have to wait until the moment we see him.

The book says that I should have mood swing and all that crap, but I really don't. I started feeling nervous that's for sure - I don't handle pain very well. Sometimes I think to myself, well, it's just a 12 hours labor, how hard could it be?! But then I also hear about women being in labor for more than 24 hours. Human body continues to amaze me. My very deformed body is going to be teared apart and it will also heal by itself. And in no time, I shall gain my 6-pack back. Wow, really?! Let me take on that challenge.

So can anyone tell me what's so bad about having a C-section that almost no one I talk to wants to plan a birth like that?
