So it's been a while

I haven't had many experiences recently that have been worth blogging -- well, the exact opposite might actually be true. It might be that so much has happened that I have neither the time to react, nor the ability to determine what might be most interesting to the Net.

Now thirty weeks pregnant, I am a whale carrying a very, VERY active little boy inside me. I really had no concept of how much more active a baby could be in utero than Rhianna, but little brother is already one-upping his big sis. I'm pretty sure he'll be strong enough to do summersaults when he decides he's ready to brave the big-bad world. If I weren't so uncomfortable, I'd be happy to keep him inside for a while as mentally, I'm hardly prepared to care for another infant. As it is, in the heat of my 90 degree office and my 80 home, I'd be pretty grateful to be un-pregnant. If we do end up planning another child someday, we'll shoot for a winter baby.

Unfortunately, most of our recent goings-on has related to a daycare crisis. Even more unfortunately, it has yet to be resolved. I feel like it would be unfair to publish nasty things about our current daycare over the World Wide Web -- but I also feel it is unfair that I have to bring my child home in the condition I continue to find her. The stress of daycare, money and, of course, daycare, has lead to the inevitable marrital arguments, stress and tears. Hopefully we'll find a solution soon -- as our little family, momma in particular, is just exhausted by the ordeal. As it stands, we can't move our not-so-baby girl because there is no where to take her. Everywhere in town is full, we don't know anyone who will nanny for such a short time (before baby arrives), and neither Dave nor I can stay home right now. Sigh. It's just one of those times that we will get through and be glad when it's over.

In more cheery news, I'm very close to finishing my needlepoint Christmas stocking! If I can get it to the finisher by October, they will get it done this year -- and I'm sure I can do that so I'm very excited to have both Dave and my stockings completed.

Alright, off to grow a baby. Hope this finds you well.
