Knocked Up~ Pass the Prune Juice

That's right, I'm preggos and constipated. And I'm here to kick my classy blog up a notch. But first things first...



Thanks to the well wishes on Twitter. You guys are all really too cool to be reading my tweets. And if you aren't following these folks, you should be cause they were paying attention to me so they can't be all that bad, right? Oh, ehrr, wait. More importantly, if you are reading this right now and you aren't on Twitter, why the hell not?!? Just give in to the peer pressure like the rest of us muckety-mucks, k? And as far as cravings go, Ms. BlogNosh~ uhm, not-so-much. Just the "smell" of water brings on the waves of nausea. It would appear that this baby is going to beat me over the head with every last symptom in its arsenal.

To clear up a few things: No this was not planned. Who in their right mind plans to get pregnant while their hubby is away for 6 months, they are forced to live with their mom because her house sold too quickly and is supposed to be moving to Denver in a month but has no idea where yet and has still not told her job that she's leaving and is totally stressed out beyond belief? Did I mention that my genius 11-y.o. monkey managed to break her foot at summer camp? NOBODY in their right mind, THAT'S WHO.

Yes, hubby is ecstatic and overjoyed and will soon be fixed. But let this be a warning to all of you married couples who get comfortable thinking they are too old to worry about these things anymore, and thinking it's a blessing to have an only child who is spoiled rotten, and who decide to get their freak on way too many times when they mistakenly think they miss their displaced hubby and decide to show him the many ways you've missed him *which shall remain untyped here.* It's been said before, but it's worth repeating~ Sex and marriage just do not go together. Now pay more attention to your married friends who are bitching about their ungrateful spouse who has disgusting habits and how normal married couples only have sex once/year. During a full moon. When she is NOT ovulating for the love of humanity.

By the way, I hope I didn't shatter anyone's world view if you still believe the whole stork thing, but WARNING: Sex makes BABIES. There. My PSA is done. Go about your day. And yes, this blog is likely to to go totally batty because a little something else people conveniently forget about pregnancy... NINE MONTHS OF BEING SOBER. And you know sober and me just do not play nicely together. At this rate, the insanity might drive me to becoming democrat. heh. not. But having my snarky sister call me and ask how much of my wine cellar she has rights to now (cause she is keeping my beloveds for me while our household goods are in storage) might just be the tipping point. So not funny sis. If you don't mind, I'll now go back to reading this fun and engaging article that is just making me feel all kinds of warm and fuzzy inside. Prune Ice Cream & Prune Cupcake recipes to follow. And right now? I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Congrats! We'll be here to help you through the nine months of sobriety... but the prune cupcakes had better be damn good. ;)

CB said...

uh... congrats? haha. (Obviously I am behind on my twitter stalkings. Bad Clara Bad)

Mary said...

Hooray! Congratulations! And that article is just plain depressing. I'm 36 and plan on starting to try soon for a first baby. Seriously depressing. But hey, my mom made a point of having a glass of wine every single day of all 6 of her pregnancies. Screw sober.

Alanna @ A Veggie Venture said...

Yippee hoo ray. Good thing you didn't make that food blogger party!!

catnip said...

Okay, I admit, I saw the tweets, but I didn't know you well enough (yet, blog nosh sista!) to know if I should congratulate you or not! Frankly, after that post, I still don't know.

Oh hell, congratulations!!

noble pig said...

Preganancy constipation blows hard. Take two peri-colace every night before bed and wake up with a poop...yep worked for me. Congrats.

Bri said...

I am apparently a terrible twitter stalker! Congrats! And boo! What will you do with all those lovely boxes of wine?! ;)

mommymae said...

congrats, darling. i've been sober for 34 weeks now and am counting down these last few weeks until i can have a guinness

April said...

congrats to you!!

Nikki57 said...

Congrats!! Good luck with that whole you can't drink thing ... I think I would go bonkers without my wine

StickyGooeyCreamyChewy said...

Congrats and best wishes to you! I guess I should pay more attention to my tweets!

It may not seem like it now, but you are really blessed. I can't imagine getting pregnant by accident. It took me 7 years of hard work and lots of intervention.

Try to enjoy it. It's the only time in your life that you can be a total bith and everyone still has to be nice to you! ;)

That Girl said...

Congratulations! Virgin bloody marys all around!

Lisa said...

Congratulations! Thankfully pregnancy hasn't caused you to lose your sense of humor. Here's to (raising a glass of club soda) life's little surprises!

mysecondjournal said...

Holy Crap...How did I miss that? I think twitters like that need to be posted a few times.
How old are you? I was thinking you were closer to my age but I didn't want to insult you..I mean I let you lick me...and you wouldn't lick me again if I insulted you.
So can we still go to the Chocolate Bar before you leave and eat cheese and dessert?
Your boxes of wine...lol...

Stef said...

Thanks for that important PSA.:) I hope having a new little one brings you more joy than you can now imagine.

slush said...

Wow, thats what I get for unplugging for an entire week. WOW!

Congrats babe, soooo happy for you! (And I know you will be too once you are moved and settled and blah blah blah.) Think of it this way, your monkey will be waaaay more help than any of the monkeys I have here! LOL

MUAH! xoxo

Joy the Baker said...

Ok... I'm slow Tempered Woman. fogive me. But congratulations! And thanks for the most hilarious post ever. EVER.

Gabi said...

Oh... my... my what have we been doing?! ;)
Did you sign up for the stress train or what?! I mean-Could you have a little more upheaval?- (and I'm not talking about your last sentence there Ms.T)
Oh well the little tyke'll be baked up in (relatively) no time at all and you'll be able to enjoy a bottle of your own then.

I send congratulations for the long term -even though I understand that right now it's a bit overwhelming! xxoxx

PheMom said...

Soooo... congrats!? Crazy stuff - I hope you get feeling better soon!

Ivy said...

You are histerically funny!
I know a whole bunch of marriages, including mine, that are happy and healthy having plenty of sex but no children. Anyway!.... I know that this time for you will pass and as soon as you see that baby -your heart will melt. :)
Press on!

Krysta said...

sex makes babies?! that's how i had four... i thought it was some sort of miracle...

congratulations. yeah nine moths of being sober can be hard!

dobetter said...

Congratulatons! What a shocker this must have been. Love the PSA. Very funny.

k said...

Just found your site -- and I can relate. I'm a bit knocked up myself and am a bit passionate about my own cooking. Hang in there -- being sober? So worth it.

kellypea said...

Well congrats! On the baby & the house sale earlier than you thought (especially in this market, huh?) I had my last one when my other two were 12 and 13. It's fun. Well, except for ralphing in the morning and all. And not being able to drink coffee, or wine, or...;) Hang in there!

BOSSY said...

WOW! Congratulations from Auntie Bossy.

chou said...

Okay, you've convinced me to twitterpate myself. Sigh. One more thing to check. Congratulations, and a little bit of Hooray! Your house sold (how did you pull that off?) followed by oooh moving home.
