And here I am.
Still holding these kiddos up in the uterus. Feeling like I may explode and peeing basically never- unless I’m trying to sleep- because then? I pee every 12 minutes all night long. That’s some bullshit if you ask me, but whatever. Continue reading 'More than 1/2 way through my 35th week.'»

It’s 10 PM.

I mean, that part is OK. I got the little guy down at about 8:30 after an extra warm baba and some baby tylenol because as I discovered this morning- he has TWO top teeth making their way into his mouth.

I’s alllll over the news, but HOLY CRAP!

It has been 20 YEARS since the Loma Prieta earthquake. Well, on the 17th anyhow.

I cannot even fathom that it has been 20 years- but looking back- I remember every second of it. One of the scarier days of my life. From the initial quake that left me and my roller skates on our ass- to the millions of aftershocks that scared me to death. My dad having to work all night (he’s a policeman) and my pregnant mom and I staying with my uncle.

I can only hope that next time my family is as fortunate as we were in 1989. Only a few little items broken in our house, no injuries etc.

Anyhow: It’s hard to believe this happened so long ago. My little brother (who will be twenty in April) wasn’t even ALIVE. I mean, that’s mind boggling.

Earthquakes are the scariest shit ever. I think about them everytime I have to cross the bay or get stuck in slow traffic on an overpass. It’s a real fear. I’m hoping I got my one big earthquake out of the way early. I dunno if I’m ready for the next one. I mean, before 1989- 1906 was the last notable earthquake in the Bay Area. 83 years. I should have 60+ years left earthquake free! Cross your fingerssss.

I think I may need to go up to the Highlands today and look at Eichlers. For some reason I am feeling this urge. Perhaps my millions will be in the mail today and I will be able to buy one!! lol.

Anyhow, I am in love with midcentury modern the way I am in love with Chuck Bass. Me+Chuck Bass+an Eichler in the Highlands= AMAZING.

hahaha.

No, but really. If anyone reads this and is in the area and feels like a trip up the hill let me know. I love house stalking company.

And, if you need schooling on what the highlands are, what Eichlers are or what midcentury is: Please be awesome and check these links.

Eichler X100
San Mateo Highlands
Eichler
Eames
And also because it is important to your life, you should look at this link even though he is not a midcentury architect, he is my personal hero. Literally.

Frank Owen Gehry
He literally designs buildings by folding up paper.

It started out well enough.

I woke up at 730 to feed my little guy a baba and get ready for my doctor’s appointment at 915.

I was ready early because I planned to go get Hudson’s shots done while we were at Kaiser, as well as my blood work for my 1st trimester.

But, alas, traffic. I got parked and Hudson in his stroller and put in 75 cents for 1.5 hours of parking.
It was 914. So, I booked it inside and made it to my appointment 5 minutes late. Too bad I waited. and WAITED. and WAITED. 1020 rolls around and they finally take me back for my appointment. My pee sample was like ice already! lol.

Talk to the doctor about my c-section and “fixing” surgery. Got a sonogram which showed both kiddos with heart beats. I was stoked because I have had a huge fear that one would like vanish since my last sonogram. Anyhow- all good news- made a new appointment and got to make my Ultrasound appointment. Too bad the Dr. then says “you also have to go downstairs to make a second appointment because each twin needs their own hour for the ultrasound.” At this point it is 1035 and I am supposed to be 15 minutes away 5 minutes ago!!

I ran to the basement and made the second appointment and booked it out to the car.
I have a freaking parking ticket. $25.00. DAMN ITTTT!

So, I am driving back to San Mateo to meet my grandma and her boyfriend for breakfast and I am already a good 15 minutes late. Then- My car starts to smoke!! I look down and it’s fully in the red overheating.

Being the crazy I am- I just cranked the heater, rolled down the windows and booked it to the restaurant. Parked, bailed Hudson out in case the car exploded- popped that hood and left it in the parking lot to go enjoy breakfast.

After breakfast, I spent the rest of the day with my Grandma. We went and did a bit of shopping and hung out at their hotel. It was really fun and I am so glad we got a chance to spend a few hours together. <3 I even got El Super on the way home. So yummy!

After they dropped Hudson and I off we hung around the house, which I forgot to tell ya’ll is sans power since PG&E were working outside on some power line. 9 AM -5PM no power!!

Luckily, my neighbor friend, also sans power brought her little guy over and we lemented the absence of TV together. Always good times.

Anyhow, I am now catching up on paperwork from my laptop (thanks for Mario’s awesomeness) and about to hit the hay. It was a really really long day for this mama/ mama to beeeee x2!!

Tomorrow: I have like 800 million more feats to accomplish and I am worried I won’t be able to get it all done before Tahoe this weekend.

I still need to get a gift and get outfits for Scott & I to wear!! Crazy times ahead!!
