A Tiny Heart

"It's alive!"

That is what my doctor proclaimed with a laugh as a water-like 'whooshing' came through the static and surrounded me.

"whoosh-whoosh whoosh-whoosh whoosh-whoosh"

I immediately forgot my carefully drawn up list of questions, and the indignity I always feel talking to someone who had just shown me the business end of a speculum.

"Whoosh-whoosh whoosh-whoosh whoosh-whoosh"

I made a sound, somewhere between a laugh and a sob that came from somewhere deep in my stomach causing the doctor's hand to slip.

"whoosh-whoosh whoosh-woo. . . "

I vaguely remember him rattling off some numbers immediately followed by the word 'normal' as he wiped the gel from his equipment and put it away.

I barely remember leaving the office, or going for dinner, or telling friends and family about what we'd heard by trying to recreate the whooshing with my vocal cords.

It's real now.

I have, at the very least, if not a baby, then a tiny heart growing in my abdomen.

1) I found 30$ I forgot I had on my paypal account!

2) after realizing that Amazon didn't take paypal (BOO!) I decided to instead treat myself to a new Bitch CD! And some other music.

3) But on my way to finally deciding on said CD, I stumbled across FREE STUFF! that I didn't need any of my newly found pennies for!

4) And also contemplated buying some smart ass stationary.

5) Now I am going to have a nap, and we all know that naps are glorious things.

GIST 4 0f 365

1) The days are getting longer, and small patches of brown grass are poking out of the snow in the yard.

2) This morning I found a plum that tasted like a plum.

3) Thinking about doing this to Das Piper. . . *evil grin*



4)Launching a plan to convince my dad that he needs a better BBQ so that I may put his old one to use.

5) All of this talk about plums and today I read that my baby is about the size of one. . . at first I found it creepy, but now I think it's kind of funny.

Plums

Is there a place on this earth where Plums are in season all year round?

I would like to live in such a place.

The off season ones from the grocery store taste like tart pulp.
