Feeling Pretty Good

I gotta admit... On the whole, I'm feeling MUCH better than I was.  It's pretty awesome actually.  I'm still taking the meds sometimes (this morn) but it's amazing how much I enjoy not feeling puke sick every day, all day.  It makes me really appreciate my overall good health, something I've never really done before.   Being sick all the time for so many months was really isolating.  I didn't see friends, wasn't very social and it just completely sucked to prefer sleeping over anything else... I've always liked staying busy and running around so it was pretty defeating to always be tired and only feel good while sleeping!  Anyways, enough of that... I am thinking (hoping) that those days are behind me!

So, I'm having a little boy... I'm getting used to the idea.  One thing about little boys, which is great, is how much they love their mamas!  It's a special bond that mothers and daughters just don't share and I'm looking forward to experiencing it.  I'm also looking forward to my weekend trip to go baby shopping!!!  Now that I have the sex, it's time to plan a nursery!  I'm approaching this similar to how I approach all other things... I've started with research... Looking online, reading reviews, checking consumer reports, printing out baby gear guides and highlighting the relevant parts, etc... And of course, I've started a folder (which may soon morph into a binder, we'll see...)  This weekend I will visit the NYC baby mecca, Buy Buy Baby and start my registry.  Registering is so much fun... I loved it when we did it for our wedding and I'm sure I will love it just as much this time (especially because baby things are just so darn cute).  I've also been told that I should order my nursery furniture asap because of how long this stuff takes to come in (and I guess I will not be wanting to prep a nursery when I'm huge and uncomfortable in the heat of the summer).  So much to do, so little time.

One thing I'm taking full advantage of these days is sleeping... I sleep about 10-12 hours per night AND I nap... It's like I'm storing up my zzzz's for the winter (when the baby is born).  Sleeping just feels so darn good these days!!

That's really all that's happening here... Since I'm feeling so good, I'm working more, which is nice... I am feeling a bit more like myself (albeit a rounder version).
