Wiggle-Worm on the Big Screen

Drove through all kinds of yuck last night to get to our ultrasound appointment at 6:15. Princess Wiggle-Worm is in the 35th percentile for growth. This is good; the doctor said that anything between 15 and 80 is normal and healthy. She also suggested that the baby may very well rival my munchkin in birth weight. Munchkin-girl was 8lbs, 10oz with a 13.5 inch head. Eep! Oh well. I did it once vaginally; I can do it again.

My IF seemed to be a bit calmer after our appointment than usual; but I'm sure he'll find something else to worry about before long. Poor guy.

Fun and Games

Eep! My friend Heather has tagged me to post seven things about myself. I'm not sure if these are supposed to be little-known facts or what, but I'll try to make them at least a little bit interesting, nonetheless.

1.) I am a die-hard role-playing geek. Dungeons and Dragons? Yes please! Vampire the Masquerade, Werewolf the Apocalypse (really anything having to do with White Wolf's World of Darkness)? Absolutely! Feng Shui? Deadlands? Call of Cthulhu? Oh yeah! I've even gone so far as to help create a system for playing Mutants, which wound up being fairly popular at college -wink to Heather and Ende, here- And yes, I also do bulletin-board RP online.
In fact, that's how I met hubs. I was running said Mutants game on an RP website and he joined the game. I IM'ed him one day to ask a question and well, to make a long story short we became good friends, and things went very well from there.

2.) As has surely become clear to all my readers by now, I am female. Yet I do not share the female fondness for chocolate. Once in a while I will desire it, generally in moderate amounts, but it does not entice me as it does my fellow ladies. I prefer fruity and salty foods.

3.) Despite my fondness for drawing, inking and coloring, I have not done any of the above in almost three years. I just can't find the inspiration and the few times I have *found* the inspiration, my hands refused to put on paper what my thinkmeats told it to.

4.) I have my own strange vocabulary (as demonstrated above). In fact, I have my own strange everything. Not everyone gets to see it; I am proficient at behaving if I have to, but I thrive on silliness.

5.) Until hubs, I was never engaged. I had proposals, but I couldn't honestly see myself happy with any of the proposers for the rest of my life.

6.) I love to be touched. And hugged. And snuggled.

7.) There is only one cat to which I have not found myself allergic. He belongs to my stepdad and lives in my house.
