I still love blogging - but it seems like competing priorities trump blogging at every turn. To blog to to sleep . . I sleep. To blog or to eat breakfast . . I eat breakfast. To blog or to read pregnancy books . . I read pregnancy books. You get the picture.
I am touched/humbled/amused that a few good friends who actually read the blog have mentioned that they miss it - I actually miss it as well. It is kind of bittersweet that the infertility stress that caused me to start the blog is behind us - as I move comfortably through the second trimester of pregnancy. Bittersweet in that infertility gave me so much material to blog about - whereas pregnancy has taken me to a very different place.
Pregnancy is like planning a wedding - except that I don't have a date certain for the big event. I have all the planning for sure - but instead of flowers and a caterer - I am thinking cribs and breast pumps. Now that I am feeling more secure about carrying to term (that does not mean stop praying for us) I am even getting excited about having a couple of baby showers . . which of course means a chance to interact with my public - although I will be wearing maternity clothes instead of a sleek chic pant suit . .
I was remembering today about the wonderful engagement party that PGC and Obamamama hosted for SS and I the June before our wedding. I bought a fabulous outfit - had my hair and makeup done - such the diva. Flash forward 2.5 years - PGC and Obamamama will offered to host a baby shower - for this one - I will likely squeeze into the most comfortable maternity pants I own - blow my hair dry and pray that I actually look pregnant and not obese in the photos.
Which is my latest dilemma - having only gained 10 pounds with this pregnancy - which is perfectly normal - given that I was 60 pounds overweight when I got pregant - but that means that I don't look pregnant to most people - I think I have to start wearing tight maternity clothes soon - because I am about to start parking in Reserved for The Stork space . . .
