Today's Thoughts...

Things on my mind today...

1. I went to a one year old's birthday party this weekend. It was heartwarming and adorable and I was completely exhausted after. It's possible parenting is a pretty intense job [insert sarcasm here]. I pretty much just watched and I hit a point of exhaustion that I haven't felt in a long time. It also made me so, so excited to become a mother...and put my little girl in cute birthday crowns. They are ridiculous and fabulous all at the same time.

2. Another preggo told me this weekend that whenever she worries about her parental skills her husband reminds her of one thing: there are crack babies that survive. Therefore, my kid will be just fine. Yes, it might be crass but it's pretty reassuring.

3. I find myself assuming that my body will somehow snap back to supermodel proportions shortly after birth. Magazines and other adorable new mommies have given me this (what I assume is) false hope. Someone needs to gently snap me out of this crazy thought. However, if you are my husband or if I am to be in your wedding shortly after the birth of my child please forget this entry and assume I will look like Heidi Klum just in time for New Years.

4. Finally, some have said that my blog puts far too much pressure on perspective/new/current daddies because of the nice things I write about "the hubs". To those readers I give you this story. While headed to the in-laws one evening, Jamie told me that he'd really like to go to Bass Pro Shop and was sad that we couldn't stop in.  He said he was afraid someone would harpoon me like an animal.

We finally registered this weekend and it was an adventure to say the least. More to come!
