oh, hello again...

well... hmmm...

looks like it's been some time since I've kept you all riveted with my brain's ramblings...

SO! News! TheMan and I made a little BabyBird... and he's already 3 months old...

I wish I had written more about being preggo, but my experience was pretty easy - no morning sickness, no excessive weight gain, no odd cravings (just strawberries, orange juice (somebody needed some vitamin C, obvs.), Taco Bell tacos, and Popsicles), nothing...that is, until it was time for the hatching. He didn't want to come out loooong after it was beyond time for him to be making his way to the exit, so they had to induce, and after 3 days of his stubborn refusal to vacate the premises, they had to go in and get him. Everyone is just fine and dandy now though, thanks for asking.

My wonderful firm is letting me telecommute 4 days/week, so I get the best of both mommy worlds -hanging out with the kiddo while still getting a full paycheck and having something other than poop and infant babble to keep my brain from atrophying...

we're also thinking about starting to get the nest ready for sale - yes, even in this wretched market. TheMan's 2 hour commute was fine when it was just the two of us, but now that the BabyBird is here, it is beyond miserable. I'm starting to look for jobs up by where he works, which will mean less mommy time for the BabyBird, but more money and more daddy time (ohhh, tradeoffs and compromises, never easy things).

we shall see where all this takes us, and I promise to keep you all updated a bit more frequently than once a year from now on...
