A few pregnancy brain burps:
After consulting my birthing confirmation approximately 100 times, I still made DH come home from work early, and go up to the hospital for our first birthing class to only figure out after waiting 20 minutes that we missed the first class, which was the night before.
After pouring myself a yummy bowl of cereal for breakfast, I proceeded to pour water (instead of milk) into the bowl.
My favorite thing to do is finish my shower and begin to towel off to finally realize that I have forgotten to wash the soap out of my hair....I have done this a few times.....
What burps have you had?

How much change can one take?
I have been properly flogged for being such a BAD BLOGGER. I do feel bad, when I realize that there are a few of you out there that DO CARE! Wow, this internet world seems almost nicer, and better than the real thing sometimes....
Let's see--where to begin? I'll start with the good stuff. We closed on the house at the end of June and moved in without too much drama. We are settling in, slowly and love the house. The baby's room (and most of the house) was painted the 2 weeks between closing and moving. We refinished hardwood floors, painted and did various things to make it more like home. It doesn't help that I am a Realtor, and typically sell houses and work with buyers and sellers with properties in a much higher price range than DH and I are in---bottom line: I have very expensive taste and expectations. I suppose my arguments of "it's an improvement that we can get a good return on" and "it improves the value of the house" can only go so far.
I am officially 34 weeks tomorrow. OMG!!! I am 34 weeks tomorrow!! Where does all the time go? The princess seems to be doing fine. I on the otherhand, have my moments. There have been a couple of stressful moments over the past 7 weeks--but all seems fine and I am just biding my time over the next 6 weeks.
I am still working and it is providing most of the stress in my life right now. I have switched offices which has apparently resulted in hurt feelings and some vindictive behavior upon behalf of my old manager. So, not only do I need to be concerned with making more money (to justify going back to work and pay for childcare), but I now also need to prove my worth as a real estate agent to my new manager at my new office. (I am still working for the same broker, different branch office) I want take a moment and reminisce over all that has happened over the past 9 months. DH got a new job, we went through IF treatments and got pregnant, bought a house and now changed offices.....oy vey.....I need a vacation. My inlaws just moved from 40 minutes away by car to 3 hours away by plane. Most would consider that a blessing, I view it as more change.
Now, let's have a quick look at childcare. I hope to go back to work in January 3 days during the week, and 1 day on the weekend. The cost for 3 days of childcare is at LEAST $200 a week in this area. I am still researching my options and am beginning to panic about it. I am also trying to pick a pediatrician and I thought for sure 7 weeks in advance would be plenty of time--turns out that not one can even see my until the end of August. Oh well. I suppose the days of having some sort of control of my life is over....
Now, aren't all of you that have asked how things are going, happy you asked?
