all my husbands
here we are already at 25w1d. tempus fugit, baby! we have an ultrasound tomorrow, officially because we didn't get a complete look at the heart, nose, and lip last time, but mostly because i need to see what's going on, dammit, and the ob has a little sympathy. not that i'm expecting any clear views, if the way milo moved around like an eel last night while i tried to doppler him is any indication, but i'll take any peeks i can get.
speaking of milo, i've become obsessed, not just with my milo but also with a certain actor with the same first name who played "jess" on "the gilmore girls." i did a little poking around today and learned that milo/jess is a vegetarian and has been dating "rory" in real life for quite a while, so good for him. we really need to get on with season 3 and beyond so i can work through the rory/jess storyline and get over him already. if not...let's just say he could be my next husband.
and speaking of candidates for future husbands, now that ace (a prime candidate if ever i saw one) is gone from american idle pasttime, i find myself rooting for elliott to win. i think he's undervalued, and it's time people wake up and vote off paris or chris, who've both become unbearably boring, and show elliott some love. i'm telling you - you get that man a few sessions with a hollywood dentist and america will suddenly be wondering where he came from and how it missed him before and pat itself on the back for recognizing talent when it sees it.
as to the husband i've already got, bless his heart for sticking with me through thick and thin. monday night was one of those thin moments - ugh, it was so ugly, i don't even want to get into it - but after it was mostly over, he totally sold me on why we should be together. in some ways we're kind of mismatched - there's a nearly eight-year age difference, and our backgrounds and politics couldn't have been more different when we met, and don't even get me started on his taste in music - but we keep finding common ground on which to stand. if we keep at it, that little patch of ground might grow big enough to make room for milo on it.
or maybe milo himself will make the patch big enough for all of us.

Yeah, I know where you are with the mismatched feeling sometimes, but I think anyone anymore similar would be hell to live with!
And when your nerves are stretched to breaking point, those differences suddenly seem like they might have more to do with the nerves than they really do.
Hang in there - I'll let you know in a couple of weeks whether those nerves can make it all the way:)
"or maybe milo himself will make the patch big enough for all of us." What an AWESOME statement! I am coming out of "lurking" to tell you that, that is a very power little sentence.
There are almost 8 years between me and the mister as well... it just works and the older we all get the less it will matter. You guys are beautiful together no matter how much space is in between.
this is a really stressful time. Like you don't know that. I hate Elliott and his stupid constant vibrato. It sounds like he swallowed my vibrator. I loved Paris.
