Update.
How boring of a title is that? Lame Soph, real lame.
Thanksgiving was good. Had over the girls from the band, significant others, kids, etc., etc. Used the opportunity, and after everyone was doped on Egg Nog to announce that EZ and I were expecting. God. I can't keep calling him that, can I? WHY does his real first name have to be F R A N K???!!
It's not like I want to call THAT name out during sex anymore. Sex? Oh yes. I caved, and he's putting out. We are engaged, and getting married on December 20th. It's going to be a small, civil ceremony at Rik's Place in Sherman Oaks and just the closest, and most discrete of people are being invited, and a dinner, and movie night in PJs are to follow. That was HIS idea, believe it or not. Goofball.
I'm getting bigger. Sigh. I'm working out though. Low impact stuff. Walking lots, riding the new bikes I bought. Lia has been over a bunch, helping me convert a room to a nursery. God this feels so... surreal. I can only wonder what sort of shit storm is going to hit when all of this is public knowledge. Thank God we are not newsworthy enough to be stalked by TMZ.

Well, it's time for an update I guess. Saying that is SO cliche... It's good to be home. It's fucking cold out, and with Arik home from College. Yes, HOME from ALL THE WAY at USC.... Shut up Lia. It seemed like he was much father away from me at times. Anyway, he's home for a couple of weeks, though I won't see him a lot. He and his friends have plans, and are going to go to Baja for a couple days after New Years.
I'm still pregnant, of course. HUGELY so. EZ is totally absorbed in the event, and is in charge of redoing one of the spare rooms in the house as a nursery. Also, he's proving to be every bit the loving and attentive husband creature. The wedding was three days ago, and aside from some new jewelry, and official paperwork, things are as they were before with us, but permanent now. I want him around forever. He's that much of a sweetie, and love. He's so different now, at home than on the road. He has a very dry sense of humor, and wit that I've never seen until now. He's a snuggle monster when we are sitting on the couch watching TV. He's an ANIMAL in bed, and man... I can honestly say, it was worth the wait. There are so many deep facets to his personality I never could have guessed at, and I am enjoying discovering.
Tomorrow is of course Christmas Eve, and we are going over to Lia's for dinner and a present exchange between the band, and families. Christmas Day will just be us at home, relaxing, and watching football if I get my way. Good times now. Good times.

Another new year
Another new year has started, and wow. How the Hell did it get to be 2009??! God. I'm not living in the 80's by any stretch of the imagination, but damn.... Where the Hell did 20 years go? I've got to stop taking naps. I will be missing too much life if I do. So. Five months down, four to go. Then the baby will be here, right in time for Memorial Day as I figure it. I GUESS that means I could still make it out for a summer tour of some sorts... We will see. We are in the rehearsal studio now working on new stuff. I know we won't have any sort of record done in time for Summer release, most likely the fall. Still, if we can get on something this summer to try out the new stuff, and see what the reaction is, that will be all good.
And.... He's home. Poor boy of mine. Well, Husband Boy. Man Boy. Whatever. The new record for WHISKEYBLOOD comes out next week, and then he's leaving for a club tour. Today was more photo shoots, and interviews and such. He asked me to go, but I plead pregnancy, and was a lazy lump on the couch with my Ben & Jerry's all day. I'm going to go insane without him here when he leaves. Why? Well, obviously, the cuddle companionship. The snuggly way he is, and that accent of his that makes me go "guh" on a daily basis.
Oh yeah, and the sex. Gonna miss that a LOT. He's a dynamo in bed, and uh... Wow. I mean, he's the tear 'em up, and wear them out until they can't take No Mo sort of guy. Even when I'm not in the mood, he wraps himself around me, whether I am laying down and resting, or standing up and fixing something to eat, and it only takes him moments to get me all stoked and fired up, and bang! There we go. I don't think there's a horizontal surface in this house, or a tub, or a car we haven't christened in a carnal fashion. He's a big fan of outdoor sex, and since I have the most bitchin' deck around, and the weather is warmish... We have bought a futon mattress just for the deck for those, "Sex under the stars" nights. Hmmm.... We should think of other Theme nights while we still have the chance....

It's getting close
I'm as big as a house. This time, for real. I keep getting those pains where I THINK I am going into labor, then they stop. This is pissing me off. Only I can't do too much about it. I'm so freaking tired. How long do we have to go? One Month? Two?
I've been writing, and recording, and banking as much stuff as I can for the new CD before the baby drops. EZ has been wonderful of course. He's working his ass off with his band, they are doing a spring tour. I'm gonna hate to see him go not long after the baby comes. Goddammit. I can't think about being away from him, or I will completely lose it. Quit everything and take the kid on the road and follow him. We've been together just about a year, but it's been so condensed, and intense, and completely overwhelming. Emotionally we are both just powderkegs ready to blow. But that makes it sound like it's a bad thing, and it's not. I'm losing my mind and my ability to express myself eloquently.
The OB/GYN has told us the baby is doing great, healthy and could be a bit bigger by this point, but I'm not worried. I'm too damn tired to worry about it, but I do. I worry about the baby, I worry about EZ, I worry about the phone call messages Frank is leaving on my voice mail. He's found out. I knew he would, and his mind went straight for where I knew it would. He's an incredible asshole and jackass, but he's not stupid. Far from it. More the pity for all of us.
