Rusty Blogger

Gah, I’m so rusty at the blogging.  I keep thinking of things I might blog about but I never get around to actually writing about them.  Here’s a short list of things I’ve thought about making entries about:

1) My amazing body pillow that I got last week. It has made my night-time setup SO much more simple!  I had about 8 pillows (this is not an exaggeration) that I would arrange and pile up and tug on every night trying to get comfortable, and now I have just the one glorious pillow with a little soft down pillow on top for my head.

2) My weirdness about people acknowledging my pregnancy. I kinda like the attention but I kinda don’t.  I guess the attention kinda weirds me out because it’s really hard to avoid the feeling that people will think (or already do think) that I’m somehow “different” because I’m going to have a baby.  I guess I am different, but I don’t even know how yet.  I guess the expectations and baggage and stereotypes can be a little overwhelming.

3) My trip to Thibodaux. I spent most of my time hanging out with Aunt Mamie (rather than on my own taking photos as in past visits), because I really had planned on this being my last trip before the baby was born.  We went to a riverboat casino and she kept saying “next time you come we’ll go to Cypress,” and I kept thinking “she really doesn’t realize that I’m not coming back for a long time…” I’m still not sure how I feel about not going back until my post-baby days.  It’s a long time for me, now that I’ve been going so regularly.

4) The Mozart Requiem. Sam and I are singing the Requiem with Musica Ecclesiae at St Mary’s next Saturday.  I feel so blessed to know my baby will hear Mozart in utero from the stage!  We don’t need no stinking headphones!
