Bed Rest and the Type AAA Personality

Still no Harriet today.  I don't suppose it's very surprising considering that most first babies are 7-10 days late for white women, which sounds like some crazy racist sh!t that our doctor tried to support with figures, tables and a ridiculous outfit that included a pointy white hat...no, just kidding, we're so progressive we're not even seeing a doctor...the Interweb told me the above demo-racist-graphic info...in a dream.  In the dream the Interwebs also told me that if I could completely unroll a Taco Time crisp bean burrito without a single flake falling to the ground, I would be granted the key to perfect, stress-free parenting.  So suck it, stack of expensive and fear mongering parenting books.

But for real real, Mommy was put on bedrest by our midwife a week and a half ago and that's something that she's not really built for.  The conundrum comes in the form of asking a type AAA personality to basically play dead for a couple of weeks, something this kind of person is not necessarily good at, so they try really hard to relax and then get stressed out about relaxing and if they're doing it right.  Fortunately Mommy has found the key to success as she's doing an excellent job of relaxing...which is only sometimes interrupted by Daddy's need to express his Ya-Ya's (it's not just dirty, it's also cabin fever).  Mommy is very good at first trying to talk with Daddy, and then quickly realizing that his Ya-Ya count is too high, in which case she ejects him from the room and possibly the house.

Daddy's Ya-Ya's are going through the roof right now, and that's why he's being sent to work out.

We'll talk about our hardcore gang soon.  Daddy developed a pretty sweet gang sign and everything.  Oh, Harriet, we can't wait to jump you in.
