    Thank You

    I had a rough day today. Nothing horrible. Just difficult. I take comfort in those crazy stories of pregnant women who go completely psycho. I don’t think I am going psycho but I’m just not going it as well as I usually do. I can’t even really pin point what set me off. I think it’s mostly because all I can think about is the baby. All I want to talk about is the baby. I feel like I’ll go crazy if I don’t find somebody to talk about the baby with. And sometimes I can’t find anybody to talk to about the baby. I feel like I’m driving everybody crazy with all my baby talk but if I don’t talk, I’ll go crazy. Sounds psycho doesn’t it? If I’m making any sense at all. Maybe there are some mom readers out there who can translate this jumbled paragraph for the rest of the world. I can’t think of better words to say what I’m trying to say.

    I just want to close with this thought: You know that email that gets forwarded a zillion times that goes on about how girlfriends are important. How men will come and go in your life but it’s your mom or your sister or your friend who will be there when you need them. Well it’s true. And I just want to thank that girlfriend who was there for me today. Thank you. Thank you for listening and letting me cry.

    Thank you.

    The Belly that Suddenly Showed Up

    I suckered Whoorl into taking pictures of me looking pregnant. The shots I take of myself just weren’t cutting it and Toby has about had it up to here with the whole “look at me, I have a belly!” gig. Actually, he’s proud of me. He thinks my belly is cute, he just doesn’t have a lot of time to shoot pictures of me. He’s too busy shooting pictures of houses and important work stuff (yawn). Someone’s gotta help me save up for that expensive bugaboo stroller I have my heart set on.

    I look like I’m trying to be sexy but I wasn’t. I was trying to hold my head in such a way so that my Britney Spears double chin wouldn’t show up.

    In other news, I started my month long temp job on Tuesday. It’s so boring! It’s not really the job, it’s just that they don’t really have any work for me yet. So I just sit around and stare at my computer all day. I think I worked on three documents today and all I did was add quotations to some copy. Really taxing. Hopefully there will be more work for me in the coming weeks.

    It’s just really weird going back to work after working for yourself for a year. I’m not used to sitting around doing nothing. If this happened at home I’d go do the dishes or water my plants or blog something. But I don’t think I should start blogging from work yet, since it is only my second day.
