random thoughts.

an electrician is here at the house right now, first and foremost, to install an outlet in the basement for the freezer. we've had it for over a week, and haven't had the opportunity to see if the huge thing actually works. i'm praying...
there are also several other things on a checklist which we've needed to have done, so i'll be curious to see how many are taken care of (not to mention how much this will all cost) at the end of the day.

tonight we have our first childbirth class: relaxation skills for labor & life. i wanted to take it early in case there were any techniques i could practice throughout the next 4.5 months. it's a sort of "hypnotherapy" type of class. we'll have to wait & see to decide if it's actually helpful...

i had my bellybutton ring removed yesterday. i first got it in january of 2001, and have never ever removed it. my belly has been growing, and the ring was getting uncomfortable, & was standing straight up most of the time, so it was definitely necessary. it's sad to admit i'm becoming an adult! the piercer who removed it for me said it should be easy to re-insert after the birth, but i doubt i'll ever want to show off my stretch marked belly again. so sad. :(

just for the record, the recipe for sour cream coffee cake from the silver palate cookbook is simply amazing, and addictive! i made it for brunch last saturday. the recipe calls for it to be baked it in a bundt cake pan, which i was worried about, but it came out completely & perfectly, looking beautiful. the sour cream makes it REALLY moist! it's definitely a keeper!

Hey sweetie, don't worry you will get your ring back. Some people are born old and others never grow up. I think you will probably remain in my catagory...becoming an adult but never actully reaching there.
I have a freind with a heart tattoo on her belly. She developed a stretch mark down the middle of it when she was pregnant so she now has a broken heart.
