yowsas

Well, we just got back from our first daycare tour. To me, the concept of daycare is strange. So is being a stay at home mom. Well, not as much as daycare. The place we looked at today was over a grand a month by the way. It's actually one of the more expensive ones. The thought of another person taking care of, spending time with, my child actually scares the shit out of me. I'm sure they're nice people. But I just don't know them. Brad and I both had the same feeling when we left. You must really have to love kids to do that kind of job. Some of the women today just had this beat down look to them. Hmph. Well, the search will continue. I hope we're doing the right thing for our child.

The things I shall eat

Today I had a bowl of oat meal with bananas, walnuts, brown sugar, and butter. It was very tasty, and full of good for you stuff. The stuff I need. Thinking about lunch now.

So far, no issues with the baby. It moves a lot. Sometimes it's uncomfortable, but at least I know it's there. I'm getting more and more anxious as my due date nears. I'm also getting bigger and bigger! Some days I feel good and accepting of it, and some days, well, it just kinda sucks. Oh well, I blame it on the hormones. I had to buy maternity clothes, and know I'm not done. My boobs have gone up 3 sizes, and my milk hasn't even come in yet! I use my ipod to let pokey listen to music, and s/he seems to respond well to it. Likes sir mix a lot. Or maybe when I sing it, who knows. Any way, I'm really excited about this. Really, haven't been this happy since I got married! I like these lil checks and balances that get thrown my way. I guess that's life. I'm glad to know it's going to mean more now.

I think I have my unemployment straightened out finally. It only took a month! I feel for the rest of my coworkers who are still struggling with it. On to lunch.
