Halle's Birthday


So, yesterday was an amazing day with Halloran on her second birthday!


Two years ago, I could not fall asleep. I was having contractions starting at around 10 pm. I laid there, got up, laid there, got up. And with so many false alarms before that (3 pre-term labor visits in the middle of the night-all snow storms, one involving my MIL getting stuck in the road), I wanted to make sure that this was it! So finally at around 1:30 am, I told Tom, call the neighbors, we gotta go! Needless to say, he did not believe, but he diligently obeyed!


So our neighbor Katie came over, and we left. When we were in the truck on the way, I knew this was it. The contractions were almost unbareable, and I was having a hard time taking deep breaths. We were up in a room by 2:15 am. About an hour and a half later I had an epidural, and about 10-15 minutes later...I had Halloran in my arms! No lie! As soon as I got my epidural in, laid back down, Rhonda, my midwife said," Well, you're ready!" A couple of pushes and there she was! My mom and sister even came up there! It was so nice! So at 3:51 am, Halloran Marie Bergman, named after Tom's mother's maiden name Halloran, my middle name Marie, was born. 7 lbs. 1 oz and 20 1/4 inches long.


Oh yeah, she was born with a little dark mohawk.

There are two kinds of people: Part One

This topic has been on my mind for quite a few years, and I always tell my ultra hip (yeah right) self, that I should write about it. So finally, after this last revelation that, yes, there are two kinds of people in this world, I needed to get it off my chest. There are two kinds of people in this world. "But Megan?" you quickly rebut, "No there's not! There are so many kinds of people in this world. Short people, tall people, loud people, introverted people, French people, people who like food, people who are allergic to grass, dog people, cat people, this list is endless." And to you I say, "Well of course." But  here's the deal. When it comes down to it. We are all, but one of two kinds of people. And I'll kindly, yet firmly, break it down for y'all. There are two kinds of people in this world. And you WILL fall under one of these categories. Are you ready? Here, I'll set the scene. You are walking down the sidewalk....

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my ...

Who did we welcome home TODAY????

Shelby Capri Bergman 6 lbs. 5 oz. , 19.5 inches long May 30th, 2008 10:52 pm I just want you all to know that everything went picture perfect. She's beautiful, she's healthy and she's very content. I don't have a ton of pictures yet, my mom took pictures during delivery and I took some today when we got home, but since we don't have internet at home now, it will be slow coming! I had my membranes stripped at 9:45 am on Friday. Afterwards, Tom and I went to Walmart, Applebees's, my sister's classroom to help move some stuff (I supervised... I was a little sore), and then home. I took a nap and Tom started getting ready for supper. His 4 hour long, grilled ribs...and that is how the story begins! So we keep joking that I am going to go during his first trial run with the ribs. This starts at around 3:30 pm. Then, we run out of propane and start all over a...
