Random thoughts...

Laying in bed last night, Chris and I watched a commercial that sums up our life with baby. It says something like "when you have a baby, your life changes." I probably didn't get close to what it actually says, but that is the synopsis. Anyway, we are slowly realizing this will be the case.
I came to work today and immediately, two colleagues commented on my hair. I, for one, have not been pleased by my hair, so maybe it was a polite comment truly meaning the opposite. Not sure. My response was, "oh, thanks," while in my head I was thinking, is it the lack of a haircut, which results in the lack of a style or is it the dark shade that my hair has acquired since becoming pregnant (also contributing is the fact that whatever highlights I had in my hair are long gone)?
I have developed a belly-somewhat all of a sudden. I will have to post pictures.
I am experiencing back pain. Probably due to the fact that my already large boobs have become larger and my back can't handle the added weight! Not sure how this will play out over the course of the next 5 months.
I am crying at "A Baby Story." When planning our wedding, I often watched "A Wedding Story," which is before "A Baby Story." I used to think who could get emotional at this stuff. Now I know--pregnant people!!
Chris and I both are becoming more aware of babies. It seems everywhere we go there are a ton of babies and pregnant ladies. Neither of us took note of this before, but it obvious now. Strange.
We are both overwhelmed at the amount of "projects" we must complete before our child arrives. These do not include actual baby preparations. Here is our list:
1. sand the trim (upstairs hallway, master bedroom)
2. paint the trim (foyer, hallway, master bedroom)
3. tear down the attic
4. install a closet organizer (master bedroom)
5. paint the nursery
6. rip out & replace the tile in the bathroom
7. various decorating projects throughout the house
These items are what come to my mind, but I swear I have dementia already....

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...

9 Months

      Claire is nine months old. She is such an active kid, always on the go. She no longer lays nicely when we change her diaper. It is quite the challenge. She is getting rather quick at crawling, so we have to move just as quickly to keep her out of where she doesn't belong--the fridge, cupboards, etc. Developmentally, she is right on track or maybe a bit advanced in our biased eyes. She crawls, pulls herself up, is beginning to move from one piece of furniture to another, mostly eats table food, and imitates us (both in the noises we make or actions--knocking on a door). When we hold her hands, she is beginning to take steps without much guidance. On Saturday, she made her first attempt to climb a step. Sadly, it ended with her sliding down. She has three teeth--two on the bottom, one on top with another coming in on top. Ten things we love about her: 1. her smile 2. her curiosity 3. the way she holds our hands or her own hands when she sleeps 4. her easy-goingness 5....

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...
