Dear Lady at Work Who Touched My Stomach While I Was Filling Up My Water Bottle,

Nope. Nope nope nope.

..........

Dear Rain,

I've kind of been enjoying you. (Don't tell Brian. He'll whisk us away to Portland sooooo fast.)

.......

Dear Maternity Jeans,

You are my most favorite clothing item ever. Why don't all pants have an elastic waistband? Why?

..............

Dear Apartment Pool,

I am dying in anticipation of you opening. Just go for it. I have a maternity swimsuit to wear and I'm starting to feel ridiculous just lounging around the living room in it.

...........

Dear Baby Girl,

We love you so much and are basically dying with anticipation to meet you. We got to feel you kick so much this weekend and it was amazing! You keep doing what you're doing, and we'll try to be patient for the next 20 weeks.

..............

Dear Oskar,

Stop meowing at the door. You can't go outside. You're afraid of puppies.

................

Dear Food,

I am really looking forward to attacking you with the same gusto as I did before I was pregnant. October will be here soon!

So things have been happening. Pretty big things.

Pretty giant, life-altering things. 

How many more times can I say things? Things, guys. THINGS.

Anyway. Here's what's up.

• Brian graduated from the U. I cried no fewer than three times during the commencement and now he gets to experience all the joy of post-grad life! (I feel like he'll transition a lot better than I did. Lucky guy.)

• We're having a baby girl at the end of September!

So really just those two big things have happened. But that second item...brings with it a whole lot of other THINGS. Life decisions, and location decisions, and the figuring out of future work situations. (Brian scored himself a nice full time job which is going to work out perfectly. He's on fire basically.) So while I really don't want to be one of those pregnant people who can't think or talk or write about anything other than being pregnant...it's on my mind a lot. 

So I think I might start blogging again sometimes? I didn't mean to just stop, but my brain has mostly been stuck on babies. And when you're not telling the general public that you're pregnant yet, it gets weird if you blog about them a lot. I'm assuming at least. 

Wow. I really haven't written anything in a long time. I think I have missed it.
