who thought expecting would cause me to stop blogging

So in only a few months, my life is going to change drastically. I'm excited and scared and completely overwhelmed. and i'd have to say, morning sickness really cut into my ability to blog. who knew?

but i'm feeling a ton better now. and traveling much less, so that is really nice. so come mid-december, we will welcome a new little being into the world and won't that be a crazy thing. a completely miraculous and crazy thing. i feel lucky to have been sick only a few weeks and other than the constant sleepiness, things are really great. no big nightmares to speak of. considering the last year and a half of nightmares, i'm thankful for that.

the thing that cracks me up the most is how much my friends who have kids say there are cute maternity clothes out there -- better than what was available a few years ago. i'm not so sure i buy that. i mean, honestly, i think they are just cute when you don't have to be wearing them. granted, they have things other than housedresses -- that is nice, but i wouldn't go so far as to say they are cute.

for instance, i go to the gap since they have a maternity section. little did i realize that it is the size of a postage stamp, but no matter. they have all kinds of cute little shirts -- little flowey hippie shirts with skinny little straps. tell me -- now that my boobs have gained ten pounds, what type of bra can i wear with these itty bitty straps? yes, that's right. there isn't one. so basically, the cute little hippie shirts are there for women who either haven't gained 10 pounds worth of boobs, don't care about hideous bra straps and tank tops or those who might forego function for fashion. since i fit into none of said categories, i'm stuck without the cute little bohemian look and with the what could i find at target look. oh well!

my new mantra? it's all for a good cause!
