BAD blogger!
i am such a bad blogger. i have totally slacked off the last week or so and now there is soooo much to catch up on. jim has been on the computer every night doing top secret stuff so i haven't had an opportunity to blog at home, and i haven't been able to do it at work. wow - imagine that. i am actually doing work at work. i guess until this morning. :)
we're back from spain, which i think is a good thing and a bad thing. good because i don't think i could take another day of white bread, some kind of meat and cheese, evaporated milk, and secondhand smoke. bad because as soon as i arrived back in d.c. i felt as if the last two weeks of relaxation was sucked right out of my neck and shoulders (where i carry all of my stress). it's amazing how "real life" can do that to me. no matter how relaxed i am on vacation, as soon as i get back to the grind it almost seems like i never left. but i am not complaining one bit. having two weeks off for our "babymoon" is a luxury not many people get. we had such a good time seeing the sights and spending some q.t. together, laughing and laughing, that i would not trade it for the world.
some friends have asked how i am feeling, since what was intended as the pregnancy blog became somewhat of a travel journal. i am feeling great, actually. can you believe i am 15 weeks? the bean has fingernails now! no morning sickness or fatigue, i'm just getting tired at the end of the day and i get the occasional headache.
i am having serious issues with my wardrobe, though. every morning is like a repeat of high school, trying on every single outfit in my closet until i find something that looks decent and doesn't cut off my circulation. everyone has told me they really can't tell, but i sure can. i have a belly. a straight up gut. jeans are totally out. my skinny/going out jeans? now a figment of my imagination. now i have to wear stretchy things or leave the top button undone and use the rubberband trick. but i know it is all part of the process. i can only imagine how i will feel when i am 9 months! i will be a barge.
in all, it is nice to be back. d.c.'s heatwave broke while we were away, and we have trips planned for september and october that i am really looking forward to. (chicago, austin, the jersey shore, and phoenix for our law school reunion). and being away really makes you appreciate what you have at home.
