They (blogs, fake internet doctors, the Starbucks employees who feel sorry for you when you try to pay for your coffee* with a Blockbuster card) say that pregnancy messes with your mind, and I wholeheartedly agree. I'd actually liken it to walking around with a stomach full of person and a head full of melted ice cream.
Plus, work has been really, really busy. And... all of this is to say, I've been a bad blogger, but not for lack of trying. My account is full of half-started posts, abandoned midway through a word or sentence, left to toil until I delete them in a year.
So I may have a mushy brain, but it's accompanied by a happy heart. And the urgent feeling that I should be doing more to prepare before this baby arrives. The room where our stationary bike and dozens of precious dust bunnies sleep needs to magically transform into a nursery. I need to end my quest for a functional yet moderately attractive glider, bite the bullet, and buy something ugly. I need to vacuum my car. We need to sign up for classes. We need to find a daycare provider/robot nanny. I'm holding tight to the belief that everything will pan out... I think it will. It kind of has to.
From now until December, I'm going to make a concerted effort to blog about the thoughts I'm having trouble forming, the goals we may or may not be reaching, and the wonderfully confusing life overhaul we're about to undergo. Right now, it's time to stare into space for a few minutes. Happy Labor Day!
*I will always tell you it's decaf, even when it's not.

I'm so glad you're back! And I can't wait for you to tell me all of the pregnancy secrets (i.e. what's a glider?)so I don't have to read that terrible Jenny McCarthy book! XO
It's a fancy rocking chair! Fancy as far as mechanics go, but most of them look like they belong in the lobby of a nursing home. Yeah, that book is terribl...y intriguing. I couldn't put it down, but I'm not any better for having read it. Miss you!
I'm glad you are back as well and look forward to your musings! yea
