Please pardon my absence. My baby sister flew in this weekend, bringing with her my 10 month old nephew and… a stomach bug. By Saturday night, she was in the ER and by Monday morning, I was at the urgent care clinic, yakking my guts out in the waiting room bathroom. You can hear the hand dryer with perfect clarity from the waiting room. Innocent strangers had to listen to me barf. This will keep me up at night for a good, long time.
Since then, it’s been nothing but nausea pills, bread and Gatorade.
But up until that point, I only had good things to blog about. Really good things. Like one, my new super-de-duper iPhone – a late birthday present from the Boy. It is truly awesome. And, by comparison, it kinda makes my BlackBerry look like an drooling halfwit. Two, my equally super-de-duper nephew who now crawls and mimics and shares (whichever slobber covered toy or piece of food he has, just you ask and he will offer you some because, dammit, he was raised right) and all sorts of other amazing things.
While on baby duty Saturday night, I handed the little one off to the Dork Lord for a minute while I fixed a bottle. When I came back, The Dork Lord was beatboxing, while my sweet, squishable nephew clapped and danced. Honestly, I nearly died from the cuteness. So, you know, along with some nasty stomach thing, I’ve got an acute case of baby fever. Good thing we can’t afford one.
Great attitude. You must really love that Iphone and that nephew to still come out of urgent care feeling good about the weekend. Hope you feel better!
Glad you’re feeling better.
Also happy to hear your nephew is healthy and happy! Being with family is awesome. Not so much when they arrive sickly but still awesome nonetheless.
Oh…and congrats on your belated birthday gift. Very nice! Enjoy!
Millions of people can’t afford one and they do it anyway. Come on….!
Hi, I’m usually a lurker (have commented once or twice) but i just have to say, you’re so happy and i’m so glad.

Your boyfriend Is better than my boyfriend!!!
If I had waited until I thought I could afford a baby, I may never have any. The challenges make the experience even sweeter.
I got the baby fever, too! My sister brought my one year old niece(who just started walking and LOVES my cat) for the weekend. I took her out to dinner one night and we left my fiance’ to babysit my niece. We got home and they were sitting on the couch eating popcorn watching a movie; her: a mini bowl, him: a HUGE bowl. Basically the cutest thing ever. Not only did it suddenly make him really hot in a whole new way, but my baby ticking, er, biological, whatever-you-call-it clock went out of control.
Then I remembered how much I like to sleep.
And that we can’t afford one, either.
I can’t walk into Janie and Jack because of the ovary ache. So jealous about your iPhone!
we couldnt really afford one either – but …. we had one, and guess what?? we can totally afford it. DO IT. they are wonderful.
My boyfriend just got the new iphone and loves it. I will stick to my env touch.
I’m glad you are feeling better. You have the worst luck with stomach flu, food poisioning and anything else that requires you worshipping the porcelin god!
oh – I feel for you! That’s one of my fears about hospital waiting rooms (or any waiting room for that matter). Glad you’re feeling better though and enjoy the new iPhone, isn’t it awesome?!
