The Weekly Slug: 28 weeks and I'm impatient

My swimsuit is not here. It is coming UPS. GROUND. Why on earth did I decide to do that? It started its journey somewhere on the west coast and last Monday evening (the 8th) it was in San Francisco. UPS updated their tracking today and it says that as of 1:05a Saturday morning it was in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Now I don't mean to be rude, but doesn't that seem a little slow? I mean, San Fran to Cheyenne in 5 days? At this rate, the Slug will be born before I get my swimsuit.

I WANT MY SWIMSUIT!!!!!! The daring one, that is.

What's in Cheyenne besides a UPS tracking station? I've only been to Wyoming once, and that was when I was 3 or 4. I don't remember what cities I went to. I know we went to the Grand Tetons because there's a great picture of me with my sisters and the mountains in the background. Yeah, Florida girls in the 70s in Wyoming. It's quite a shot. But back to the point, what's in Cheyenne? Is it sort of like Mobile, Alabama except with mountains? Or like Topeka?

I saw a moose in Wyoming, I remember that really well. He was about 30 yards from the cabin we stayed in, across the street. He was big with enormous moosey antlers. Maybe that was Cheyenne and I just didn't know it at the time.

OK, enough. Get my swimsuit to Michigan already, where no one would come for a summer holiday apparently.

Hi there. I stumbled here and read through your profile- I'm also trying to get pregnant with my husband after having two children before marrying him... we've been married since my youngest was born so he's 'dad' but we have no biological children...i just had a miscarriage, which i see you had...so it's great to see you so far along. Nice to 'meet' you

I grew up in Idaho, so Wyoming to me is the place where one can purchase 4th of July fireworks legally. :D

Maggie May - I'm glad you found me! I hope my story is helpful to you. Everyone's is a little different, but it helps to find people who have been through similar experiences.

I gotta go check out your blog now...

Ezekial - I LOVE this description. This is great. It's the perfect tourism slogan: "Idahoans! Come explore Wyoming, where you can purchase fireworks legally!"
