I finally found it

I knew there had to be a webpage out there that compiled all of the mother-written blogs out there. I've just had no success finding it.

I found it this morning.

Out goes all my old blogs that NEVER EVER update and in comes all the fancy new blogs. There's even one written by a military wife. Which I am now.

I only get interested in what other mothers think when I'm pregnant. All the blogs I just removed from my google webpage? Added during the Orclette's pregnancy. I imagine I'll be adding even more when Damm leaves, school stops, and I retire at long last from B&N. Which, by the way, is a certainty this time. I haven't turned in official notice but I have let the hiring manager know that after July I won't be working with them. That's going to be a sad day.

Ok, what other weird things do I do when providing housing for a squirming, kicking infant? This time around I get cravings. Mostly for unhealthy foods, such as fries dipped in ranch, Blizzards from Dairy Queen, pizza dipped in ranch (I lurve ranch dressing). I tend to get reclusive, which didn't stand out as much last time since I had to stay home 11 hours a day anyway (only one car which hubby and brother used to get to work which was an hour away). Ummm .... I do get the urge to redecorate, but that's a common thing, the whole "nesting" urge. I get creative and come up with and also complete all sorts of crafty projects. We'll see how that goes this time around with an almost 2-year old ready and eager to help out.

That's it. I can't think of any other odd quircky things I do that are exclusive to the pregnant state.

And today I have my last quiz. Next week I turn in my last paper. Monday the 4th we have our last tests. And May 5th, early in the morning, Damm will be going to MEPS and then off to S. Carolina for basic. I know I mention that a lot but 6 months is a long time and I haven't had to do it before. Endure would probably be a better word, although I'm planning on being way too busy to simply endure. We're getting Orclette's "big-girl" room ready. We're buying new toys for her (Big-girl toys). Once I find out whether it's gonna be Brendan or Charis I'm sure I won't be able to resist buying stuff for them either. And of course we'll be redecorating the apartment.

And I'm stalling, trying to think of more things to write so I don't have to work out. I like working out. But lately doing it early in the morning has been challenging. Ok, 'nuff stalling.

She is about 4-6 weeks along. I started a new blog that both of us will write on.

Check it out when you get a sec.

I have a flat TON of mother blogs if you need any more. I especially love amalah.com. I used to babysit her kids before I moved to AZ, now I just look at pictures of them and wail.

Ohh the cravings! I remember needing salt on everything for the first 3 months I was pg with Zack - I really *hate* salt on most things the rest of the time, so I figured my body must've needed it.
Then came the Big Mac cravings. I can't even look at them now. ><

I wanna see this big list of mom blogs - I hope mine is on there! ;)

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

There be too much history.

For the past couple of weeks Damm and I have been faithfully spending an hour each day working on our respective summer projects-he on his writing and me on Spanish and history. I had previously mentioned wanting to create some sort of series that I’d work on throughout the summer. I did a bit of brainstorming and decided that I should write essays on bits of fun and fascinating history. Then I started thinking up topic ideas and realized that I didn’t have enough time to randomly pick subjects, research them, and then write entertainingly. So I decided to pick one area of focus. It came down to either Modern Russia or the Civil War Era, since these are the two history courses I’ll be taking in the fall. I chose the Civil War. And even then I have not narrowed my focus enough. The essays one could write on the American Civil War … the possibilities are endless. And so I’m in the process of redefining what I will write/research. I’m in the midst of gathering info for a...
