Hi Everybody!

I was just debating the usefulness of a paid account with ye ole' husband, squidgyfishlove and decided to use a feature for which I'm paying. Also, after taking a long break from LJ, abandoning IRC, and living half way across the planet from the majority of you, I'm just wondering who still reads my and either don't comment or just haven't bothered deleting me yet. So...

[Poll #952440]

Thank you for your input.

NEW PICTURES... like I promised. Sorry it didn't happen yesterday. We were busy entertaining a gimpy kevbonium and blowing him to high heaven in a wondrous game of Worms.

Moving swiftly along, I had a prenatal appointment yesterday. Dumb Dumb Head (squidgyfishlove) didn't take the day off for it yesterday, so I took his mother instead. Traffic sucked and it seemed like we were there forever, but I guess it worked out alright in the end.
I had two ultrasounds and got to actually see the Wiggle Worm wiggle! It waved to us and did the wiggle dance. That was pretty cool. It is definitely filling up its available space now. No wonder I'm starting to fill up and stretch. (And, of course, it's all expansion from here out.)
Unfortunately, the young one was fairly uncooperative and refused to roll over onto its side and give us a nice profile shot. This was unfortunate for two reasons: 1) I was really hoping to get to see a nose yesterday- that would, to me, really make it look like a little person; 2) they were planning to do a test by measuring the neck but cannot do it unless the baby is in profile. This resulted in asking me to tip and then lay down again, and in the tech going push-push-push with her hand to try to and get the baby to turn. While she is doing this, I am watching the baby bounce around a little bit in the ultrasound. I found this mildly disconcerting, though the baby seemed just fine. I guess that shows just how well protected it is in there. I wonder if it can react to those things yet... and if so, it must be thinking, "what the hell are you doing, mum?!"
Yes, it knows how to curse already. If you look at the second picture, it obviously the spawn of the devil, just as you all predicted. I think it's going to make a fabulous little head-banger. Goth baby. Fwar. (And, we cannot, of course, overlook the Grunge and Metal influences provided by both parents.)

Other point of interest: The doctor has said to go with our original due date, which pleases me. Our official due date is 9 October, 2007. My mum got a little orange onesie with ghosts on it in honour of it being a Halloween Baby. One thing I have to say... at least the birthday parties will rock, and no one will bat an eye at me. (Though I'm very boring compared to past years... makes me want to run in and load up on eye liner.)

So here you go... the devil spawn:( See the Creature )

Now Hear This!

I hereby decree that my husband, squidgyfishlove, is a musical idiot!

• He doesn't like the Pixies.


• He thinks Robert Smith and the Cure are EMO! No, fucktard, NO!


• He shushes me and puts on WEEOW WEEEEEOW music.


• He just did a very camp hand>staple>forehead in mockery.


• He called Goth music "GAY BLACK MUSIC" and yet steals my mp3's.


• He likes neo-boy bands with guitars.

YOU ARE SO VERY WRONG, SIR. AND I DECLARE IT TO ALL OF LJ!

I think I feel better now.

Edit:He also does not Ticky Box!!!
