Randoms

I'm feeling the need to post, but I also feel like I don't have that much to post about these days. So this may be a bit of a random dump of thoughts, not really related or tied together. Sorry.

After such a whirlwind roller-coaster of a 1st tri, what with the bleeding, bedrest and blechyness, the 2nd tri has been a breeze. I have lost all food aversions, and just crave spicy food at the moment. I'm even back to cooking regularly, which is nice. I'm hoping this keeps up, I have actually really liked being pregnant these last few months. And as of this weekend, I'm done with the 2nd tri (I think, the whole trimester/month thing confuses me a bit). Can you believe it? I certainly can't. 3rd trimester? 28 weeks? Amazing.

We are really in full swing for prep for baby. Once I passed my self-imposed moratorium on all things baby, the flood gates opened I guess. I ordered a crib and baby furniture stuff. Delivered in a few weeks, it will be truly surreal to see it in my house. Honestly, I think I may spend a few days just sitting in the baby's room, staring at and touching all the furniture. Is that weird? Well, yes, but I don't care. It is just so exciting!

And we begin car shopping tonight. I currently drive a 9 year old Civic, which I love. Great little city car. But it is not the most practical or safe for a baby. So we are looking at small SUVs and small station wagons. OMG, station wagons!! I am becoming my mother. Tonight we look at Su.baru. We'll see how it goes.

And joy of all joys, it is getting cold here. I have never been more excited for a change of season in my entire life. Ever since the DL, I have been one of those always-hot people. Which is weird, because I used to be one of those forever-cold people. I used to hate the winter, dread the snow. Now, I can't wait!! My happy anticipation of winter may also have to do with the fact the critter is scheduled to arrive in January. Small detail.

There are many out in the bloggy world it seems either prepping for an FET/cycle, in a 2ww right now, or in early stages of OMG-I-got-a-positive-beta!! I'm wishing you all the best, and wish for things to go just as you hope. Me and the critter have everything crossed for you!
