I have a cold and so am spending the morning lazing around...as usual, I feel a bit guilty for taking sick time, but rest and peppermint tea are about the only cures a pregnant woman can take advantage of, so I think it's in Kaylen's best interests for me to be a slacker today!
And that's right -- no more Talulah, since we've decided on Kaylen and announced it to our families on their Christmas gift tags. :)
All the bloggers I follow seem to be making goals for the new year, which I like. Goals vs. resolutions, I mean. Goals seem doable, but resolutions are notorious for getting broken. I'm still thinking about what mine should be, but one is to eat more fruits and vegetables. I have a nice long grocery list planned out -- now I just need to feel up to going to the store! The nice thing about being sick is there's plenty of time to browse the weekly ads. (I usually do that anyway, but not at such a leisurely pace.)
Being sick also gives me time to a) add items to Kaylen's gift registries and b) look at crazy things like organizational blogs. I love the *thought* of being organized, but need some motivation to actually take the time to do it....
I've also been reading Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (the kindle version), by Mindy Kaling, who plays Kelly on The Office. She's a good writer and really funny, so it's the perfect book to help recover from a cold.
Kaylen ... I love it :) While I respect that people like to be surprised with their baby's gender when he/she is born, I personally love to have a gender and name to attach to a baby-in-belly. Btw, I have two bags of clothes that I keep meaning to get to you -- I will load them in our car to bring to church on Sunday.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Molly! I agree, it is so fun to know ahead of time and think of that little person inside you as whatever he/she is going to be. Honestly, I think I've grown to love her a lot more since the ultrasound and especially since we've named her. Now her room is Kaylen's room. :) (Speaking of which, I really need to start working a bit harder on getting it ready!)
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for thinking of the clothes. I really appreciate you being willing to loan me some things!
