out!!

Gown up time last night. I wasn’t really in the mood to go to a BBQ in the rain with all the people that really aren’t my friends but Bear’ s friends…. However, after 5 or 6 hours of screeching last night, I was in dire need of “grown up conversations”. But where to begin?

First of all, Nut got a visit from Uncle S. In town from Sydney for a whopping 6 days, he did come and played with the baby for about an hour. He fed the babe and tries to aim the spit up on the burp rag. Did quite well I might add, not ruining his designer “I look like I stepped out of a catalogue for Eddie Bauer” clothes. (Don’t get me wrong, that wasn’t a pot shot, he looked good!) What is it with my siblings talking to Nut with lisps and baby talk? Both of them do it!! Drives me nuts.

Bear comes home and jokes around with Bro about how he actually arrived in Cali two hours before he left from Sydney. He was from the future. Bear wanted to know how the flux capacitor was treating him these days.

I got a shower in. It was nice to rid myself of the spit up stink and what not. Then I got ready for the BBQ. I am thrilled, and ecstatic to say my shirts that once didn’t fit over the rapidly swelling belly fit again. Furthermore, my cleavage rocks!! I put on my blue shirt and black pants. I did my hair, I wore my heels. Why? Not because I really was wanting to impress anyone or anything, I just wanted to look like an adult without spit up, breast milk stains, and other baby shit on me.

Bear’s jaw dropped. He was horny when he saw me. (But that it typical because he is a man.) He didn’t want to go to the BBQ all of a sudden. We went and I had…. A BEER. Oh yes, a beer. A fat tire beer. I was so excited to be an adult that I had to call up the hurricane and Moe and let them know that I was out and being an adult!! Yea!!!

The BBQ was ok. I didn’t eat anything. If you knew the guys, you would understand why. As usual, all the people they invited flaked on them. HOWEVER… OC was in town!!! One night only!! I gave her a hard time for not calling me to let me know she was in town (“didn’t all those years we were neighbors in college mean anything? If not for bear and me you wouldn’t have met your hubby! And no call??”) She told me to shove it. I love my friends. They are so down to earth it’s hilarious.

Actually, he truth comes out... I had two beers. Teeheee…

When we got home I didn’t take my Bp meds. Opps. This morning though my BP was 108/76. Now that’s more like it. I also realized that my BP meds are effecting my breast milk production. In the hospital I was spewing everywhere. At home and since these meds were prescribed, I am lucky to get 3oz pumping total in half an hour. I can’t wait to get off these damn meds!!!!

Nut is snoring on my chest as I type. If I put him down, he will scream I am sure. However, I need to pump and eat. Maybe I should let him scream himself out if he starts?

I have a slight hangover. Now THAT’’S funny.
